Board of Trustees elects Barbara Burwell Barbara Burwell was elected to
Breck Welcomes Ten International Students for 2011-12
the Breck Board of Trustees at its June 30 meeting.
A Breck parent since 1999,
Burwell has been an Annual Fund volunteer, grade-level
coordinator and supporter of
athletic and arts programs at
Breck. She is a passionate volunteer and philanthropist who has served on numerous boards including the
Children’s Theatre Company, public television KTCA/
KTCI, United Way of Minneapolis, YMCA, Minneapolis Heart Institute, St. Olaf College and the Minnesota Orchestra.
Says Burwell, “I’m honored and thrilled to be asked to participate in the education of generations to come.
Most important, I’m a proud parent and delighted to
have this opportunity to give something back to Breck.” She and her husband Rod have three children: Peter ’07, Blake (Blake School ’10) and Michael ’12.
One of the largest groups in recent years, and the first to include a Middle School student, Breck’s international student population is ten this year. Program Director
Margaret Wong says the school is very grateful to the host families who play such an important role in helping the students feel at home at Breck.
Joining us this year are three students from South Korea:
Sung Wan Huh (7), Sung Rim Huh (9) and Younghyun You
(12); one from France: Johanna Huss (11), one from the Czech
Republic: Jakub Podgorny (11); and five from China: Annie
Jiao (12), Ruskin Li (10), Charlie Li (12), Melody Wang (12) and Amy Yin (11).
