Happy Friday! Alas, March is here. With any luck, along with the additional hours of sunlight, maybe we could add warmer temperatures. It's coming - I'm sure. I think I'm not alone in expressing that I am fully tired of looking at 6 foot snow banks. Bring on spring!
All good things must come to an end, they say. Such is the case for the boys basketball team. On Wednesday night they played their hearts out in front of sellout crowd at Woburn High School. I'm proud of our players! First and foremost, 10 members of the team were on the honor role for quarter 2. The displayed similar commitment on the court. I am proud of the way they carried themselves on and off the court - in victory and in defeat. They had a great season. Now is the time to get going with the spring sport season. BHS offers outdoor track, baseball, softball, and boys volleyball. Meeting notices are posted around the school. Please encourage your young scholar to participate – doing so typically results in better grades.
The month of March carries with it what I call the beginning of testing season. We just completed the MCAS retest. For 10th graders, the ELA MCAS is right around the corner. The state has granted schools an additional week of preparation for all of the snow days. The most important thing for students to do at this time is attend school. Teachers are gearing up with review and preparation. This is important and students need to be here to get the goods. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Lastly, for seniors, there are only 12 weeks left. This is an exciting time! As our soon to be graduates prepare to complete their experience as Boston public schools students, it is extremely important to make sure that they are connecting with guidance counselors around their post the high school plans, it is equally important that they stay current with assignments. We're almost there!
That's it for now. Enjoy your weekend!
Best,
Dr. T
P.S. We have been working with a real estate firm and construction company to allow students an opportunity to see the process go from beginning to end. Below is a picture of students visiting a condominium site earlier today.
