What a Busy Week!

 

 "Feeling hot hot hot -- Feeling hot hot hot" -Buster Poindexter

We are so happy the warm weather is finally here! And it came just in time for the juniors and seniors to enjoy the prom tonight at Mechanics Hall in Worcester. We wish all of our students a fun, festive and safe night! Can't wait to see the pictures.

 

Disconnecting and Reconnecting!

 

A few weeks ago we had someone donate some gimp to the library along with some puzzles. We put the gimp out as an afterthought. We had no idea what a huge hit it was going to be.  Freshmen to seniors have put down their devices and taken up that summer camp special and have been "gimping" for the last few weeks!! It has been a highlight of our year! One of the funnier aspects of the gimp phenomenon is how many adults did NOT know what gimp is. I sent out an all district email seeking out any donations of gimp and the number of faculty and staff who emailed me back asking WHAT gimp was was hilarious...so for the record Gimp is: "plastic lacing string."

We have since added to the gimp festival and have introduced friendship bracelet string and not surprising that has caught on like wild fire!!

"Time To Remember"

"This is the time to remember cause it will not last forever, these are the days to hold on to....this is the time, but the time is gonna change" - Billy Joel

Congratulations to our seniors who have their last day of classes today. They have been an enthusiastic, intelligent engaged group and we know they will go on to do great things! Good Luck to you all!!!

Enjoying the Spring!

Senior Memoir Project

One of our favorite assignments of the year comes right at the end. Seniors come to the library to choose a memoir. The memoir of their choice should evoke curiosity, excitement and interest in the subject. Students were enthusiastic pouring over choices.

Dive Into  a Good Book!

 

It was finally a warm week in New England and what a difference! The sun was shining, birds were chirping and there was definitely a happiness in the air! We have created a bulletin to honor the nice weather and hope it will continue to last!!

Your Rights: Civil Liberties Court Cases

Mr. Costigan's Civic's classes are researching landmark civil liberties court cases in the United States and their impact in historical and current landscapes. Students are using databases such as "Issues & Controversies in American History" as well as the numerous books specific to their court case and/or amendment. Great way to end the week!
