April 29 - And so it begins....

And so it begins, the next seven weeks will present numerous opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding and progress with learning. Pictured above are students taking the SAT on Tuesday at the America Legion building downtown. Starting today AP exams began and more opportunities will continue to pop up in the coming weeks. The next seven weeks also presents numerous opportunities for students to connect socially and to work with one another in new ways. Some examples are Prom (May 14), Community Service Day (May 20), and Memorial Day Observance (May 27). The pace is going to pick up and I encourage you to think back to our conversation and reflection on 'perseverance' from Best Practice. A big topic that I heard in numerous places was 'self care'. So, get outside and enjoy the coming warm weather, growing shades of green, and fresh air. 

Another great Artstronomy

Celebrations: 

The return of TA excursions to town!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes celebrations are bittersweet. I'd like to congratulate Jen Bickart who recently accepted a new teaching position in Middlebury. She will be moving there after this school year to be close to family and to build a new home (a longtime goal of hers). We are sad to see her go, but happy for her to start this new part of her life.

Happy Birthday
