What a week! There is no question that I enjoy every single week at Brighton high school. This one was particularly interesting and fun. Last year a student presented an idea for spirit week. She, along with other members of the student leadership team, planned it and executed beautifully! I could go on with a description of all of wonderful things that happened. The pictures below tell the story - at least on flag day, wacky tacky Wednesday, and twin day. Enjoy!
We are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. There are a number of activities happening in the library. See below for more.
I have a few reminders before we get on what looks to be a beautiful fall weekend. Quickly, I want to remind you that you can access your student's profile and attendance information through the family portal. Follow this link for information. Lastly, October is College Month. It's never to early to educate yourself and your student on the application process, paying for college, and the breadth of school choices. Follow this link to see what's happening around the Boston Public Schools along this theme. Also, mark your calendars for next Saturday's college fair at Madison Park High School. Information on and the fair and more can be found on the link.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Best,
Dr. Tutwiler
