Happy Friday...and Senior Information

Dear Community,

I hope this message finds you well on this beautiful spring Friday. As beautiful as the day is, oddly we have a number of seniors who appear to be "sick" today.  It is my sincere hope that they get better over the weekend, at least well enough to prepare for the final exams next week.  Seriously, I understand traditions, but at the same time I want to make sure that all seniors are squared away on course requirements.  Graduation is near!

On the topic of seniors, I have pasted an information sheet below. This was distributed to seniors at the assembly today and will be mailed early next week. BottomLine this a lot happening over the next few weeks. Please take note.

As for other happenings in Bengal land, we successfully completed the math MCAS and advance placement exams this week.  Both went well. We also had grade-level assemblies celebrating the accomplishments of students during quarter of three.  In all, it was a busy week, but we ended it with celebrations.

Please enjoy your weekend!

Best,
Pat

P.S.  I pasted a pic below of our undefeated softball team.  Go Bengals!
