Berkshire Elementary School in Dundalk had some visitors this morning as BCPS Superintendent Dr. Darryl L. Williams and Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski, members of the Board of Education of Baltimore County and elected officials from the state and county joined for the traditional ribbon cutting.
Berkshire was set to open last September but did not open its doors for students until March as a result of COVID-19.
The new 618-seat, $51 million school was built next to the old Berkshire school on Poplar Avenue in Dundalk.
Construction started in 2019 and the new school has a two-story classroom wing, a single-story cafeteria/gymnasium wing linked by a central core of interwoven collaboration spaces, a “green” rooftop classroom garden and a technology-rich media center.
The old school building was demolished and was replaced by fields for the new school.

Over the past two years one Baltimore County cook has had lots of luck on his side. After a $10,000 scratch-off win last year and a small $1,000 win earlier this year, the 47-year-old maintains his lucky streak with a $100,000 win on a $100,000 Lucky scratch-off ticket.
The lucky winner visited the Walmart located at 2399 North Pointe Blvd. in Dundalk. He went in to buy water and while there decided to try his luck yet again on one of the lottery’s $30 tickets. After buying the $100,000 Lucky ticket at the lottery kiosk, he immediately scanned it and the machine read, “take to lottery.” Thinking it was just smaller win like his two prior wins, he left the store. But then he had a second mind to actually scratch the ticket. That’s when he revealed that he had a matching number for a $100,000 win.
“I was shocked,” the lucky winner said. He then went home to share the great news with his wife and children and they were just as shocked.
The three-time scratch-off winner has worked as a cook for the past 20 years and even with this win he says he has no plans to stop working. When asked of his plans for his winnings, he says that he’s already a homeowner, so he’ll use these winnings to purchase a rental property.
The Dundalk Walmart will receive a $1,000 bonus for its role in selling a winning scratch-off ticket of $100,000 or more.
