With the election in the rear view mirror, we can get back to regular issues. The Daily Journal has a nice write-up on BHS student Jeffery Chen
The Burlingame High School senior won first place in the Breakthrough Junior Challenge, receiving a $250,000 college scholarship, $50,000 for his science teacher and $100,000 science lab for his school. Chen, 17, won the international competition Sunday, Nov. 3, with a three-minute educational video he created about neutrino astronomy, which tracks cosmic events through the capture of galactic particles.
And with the new science learning space to be built at his school, Chen said he is hopeful to inspire other Burlingame High School students to push the boundaries of their imaginations too.
This is a welcome antidote to the recent disappointing news about graffiti at BHS and the subsequent arrest of a local young man. Kudos to Chen. You can click through to his video here and while you are there check out all of the local B'game background - the Bayfront, the BHS lawn, and the train station at sunset.
Congrats to this young man. Very cool. That is a lot of money for his education and the school.

The wheels of justice move pretty slowly:
A Burlingame man accused of spray-painting racist and antisemitic phrases at Burlingame High School has been sentenced to one year in county jail, the San Mateo District Attorney’s Office said Monday.
Logan Aaron Stone was accused of the vandalism from Sept. 4-15, 2019, prosecutors said. According to prosecutors, black spray paint was detected in 11 separate locations on the high school campus’ walls and windows over the course of two weeks in September.
A police investigation involving his cellphone allegedly connected Stone to the vandalism.
Police allegedly found two cans of black spray paint and several writings of racism and hate in Stone’s home and car, according to prosecutors.
