Dear Community,
I hope this message finds you well and celebrating successful management of the first cold snap of the season. Winter is near - that is much is for sure. Well, we successfully managed another good week at BHS. Among the many happenings was a momentous field trip. Two of the Facing History classes, an elective for seniors, went to hear a Holocaust survivor speak (pic below). This is a special opportunity, as the number of survivors of this tragic historical event is quickly waning. For our students, this was an opportunity to interact with history, up close and personal.
I have one important announcement and a request then I'll let you get on with the business of enjoying your weekend. This week, the Superintendent announced a calendar change. There is no school on Monday, December 23rd. The last day of school has been pushed back to June 20th (weather permitting).
The request - come see a debate tournament. Brighton High has one of the largest debate teams in the city and is a perennial powerhouse. There is a tournament this weekend at English High School - Brighton has 31 students debating. Come check it out! Drop in this evening from 4pm-8pm or Saturday, 8am-3pm.
Have a nice weekend!
Best,
Dr. T
