Brentwood Bloom Room
By Mrs . Linda Capozzoli
Amanda Vickless , Bryanna Brown , Elyssa Maenz , and Derek Festa attended a SAP Social Innovation Series sponsored by Adventure Capital ( AdCap ) at PPG Paints Arena in the fall . The conference empowered students to improve health and wellness in their school by participating in a design workshop . Students had to pitch their wellness ideas to a panel of judges modeled after the show Shark Tank . The idea of the Brentwood Bloom Room was created and now the students are in charge of an initiative to educate others on nutrition and growing fruits , plants , vegetables , and herbs in the soon to be designed greenhouse . Ten projects were chosen across the nation to be eligible for an additional $ 10,000 and a trip to the Super Bowl in Texas . Brentwood Bloom Room was one of the ten projects in the running . The students were awarded a $ 1,000 grant to bring their project to life and the greenhouse area of the high school will be filled with a thriving garden .
