Nine teams of Episcopal High School juniors and seniors presented their redevelopment vision to a fictitious city council made up of Urban Land Institute (ULI) volunteers Nov. 8 at the school. UrbanPlan is a hands-on, 15-hour course that was created by ULI to teach high school and college students how the built environment is shaped through planning and development. Students work in development teams to analyze and respond to a hypothetical Request for Proposal for the redevelopment of a specific urban area. Each student takes on a specific role in their development team, which consists of site planner, financial analyst, marketing director, city liaison, and neighborhood liaison. The students, who are in Perry Walthour’s economics class, explored how the forces of
a market economy work with and against non-market forces in a democracy to create the environment in which they live. In completing their redevelopment plans, the students needed to consider the economic, social, cultural, and political goals of the fictional city and its residents. Some of the things they were asked to consider were zoning and design regulations, market demand for different types of land uses and real estate products, traffic patterns, quality of life and the needs of investors and lenders, who would be providing the capital for the project. During the day, two concurrent city councils were held, producing a winning development team from each council. The winning BONK’D Development team included Holly Hardman, marketing director; Max O’Brien, financial analyst; Tommy Bishop,

Fall fun on a Friday
The community had a chance to get in the seasonal spirit alongside students with a fall festival hosted by West Riverside Elementary School Oct. 25. Nearly 300 people attended the event, which raised nearly $14,000 to go towards purchasing new projectors for the teachers. Students received wristbands allowing them to enjoy free activities and games, thanks to title sponsor VyStar Credit Union. A host of other local businesses and family sponsors within the school helped to make the event a smashing success, where all enjoyed food, fun and family on a beautiful Friday afternoon.

ST. JOHNS COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL
“
We chose St. Johns because we wanted our children to go to a school where all three were on the same campus together. We also wanted them to be able to play any sport they wanted. We believe at St. Johns our children have the opportunity to do anything, and be everything that they want to be.” — Jim & Jennifer Branch (Tilson Tilson Branch ‘21, Durham Branch ‘24, Win Branch ‘30)
