Happy Spring! It doesn't really feel like it, but today is the first day of spring. It will warm up before long. Speaking of warming up, I have to say that I am thoroughly pleased with the spike in attendance this week. Continuous improvement is the mantra! Your encouragement and support matters. Keep 'em coming! Keep them coming to the after school MCAS and homework prep program too (aka "PULSE"). We hit historic highs this week with upwards of 60 students staying after. Certainly, if you need support or have questions, do not hesitate to reach out. Your students guidance counselor is a great resource. Call 617–635–9873. We're partners in this.
I would like to thank all of you braved the arctic winds to join us at the open house. Of course, we can can always connect via phone or media - nothing beats an in-person meeting. Couldn't make it last night? Please know that all are invited to Parent Shadow Day on April 9th. This is your opportunity to spend a day or as much time as you have in class with your student. Details to follow.
Congrats to the BHS Power Lifting team - we have one of those. They took 2nd place at the New England tournament last weekend. Best of luck to the Brighton Burning Tigers robotics team - we have one of those too. They are competing in Rhode Island this weekend.
Enjoy the weekend!

P.S. Is your student interested in rowing? Have them tryout for Row Boston! Wednesday, April 1st and 2nd. Contact rowboston@communityrowing.org for more.
