It’s about getting things done. Earlier this week, Patch featured a team of students in STEM—Science Technology Engineering Mathematics—that developed a new music app for Android smart phones. While their classmates spent hours coding and researching a new technology, Buck, of Crofton, and Moeslein, of Davidsonville, wanted to decrease South River High's energy output.

County informs parents that an 80-percent increase in magnet program applicants requires some schools to conduct a lottery.
Students who applied last month to the county's magnet programs have eagerly checked their e-mail accounts and mailboxes for the past few days.

Last Friday, parents received an e-mail from Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) that magnet applications are "still under review" and notification letters will be sent within the next 10 days. The e-mail also confirmed a fear for many prospective South River High School's Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) students—their fate will be decided by a computer. Due to the large number of applicants, a lottery process will be used to select …
