Alas, it's beginning to look like spring again. This makes me happy. Other things that make me happy:
- Graduation! Yesterday evening we celebrated the accomplishments of the 182 students comprising the class of 2015. They will be sorely missed! Two things set them apart from previous classes:
- They are so tight-knit. This class seems to be together in a way that we have not seen in recent years.
- College-bound: the class of 2015 has more college-bound members than in recent memory.
- The BHS Drama club's adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream. Our budding actors/actresses created a cozy performance space and delivered beautifully. I'm so proud. Pictures below.
- The BHS faculty. They seem to come up with the most wonderful and beneficial ideas. One of which is to host a Junior Parent Coffee. This is happening next Friday, June 12 at 8:00am at BHS. Please come and learn more about preparing for senior year and the college application process.
There are more things that make me happy, but these are fresh on my mind. Looking ahead to next week, in addition to the junior parent coffee, our 9th graders will take on the science MCAS on Monday and Tuesday (6/8 and6/9). They've been working hard and we have been working hard with them. They're ready! How can you help? Please have your 9th grader go to bed at a reasonable hour wake early and arrive to school on time. We'll take care of the rest.
Lastly, as we round the final corner of the school year, students should be checking in with teachers to make sure that they are up-to-date on assignments and ready for final exams. The final exam schedule is on the calendar on the school website.
That's all for now.
Have a great weekend!
Best,
Pat
