A bear on field, an artist on easel
Powerful and muscular at 6 feet and 242 pounds, Josh Bundy cuts quite a figure in portfolio art class at Wissahickon High. "It's interesting to watch the dynamics between him and the rest of the class," said David Miller, who teaches the honors and portfolio arts students at Wissahickon. "He's a big, strong guy, and the rest of the class knows that. It's neat to see a big, strong guy leaning over the easel and doing something very eloquent with self-expression."

The Souderton sophomore turned a lack of confidence into a firm belief in herself.
Amanda Lebo might be the soccer player she is today because of what she experienced a few years ago. Despite her considerable talents, Lebo was cut from an under-13 state-select team. For someone who had mostly been patted on the back and praised since she had begun playing club soccer at 8 years old, it turned out to be a turning point.
