On Wednesday, October 16th, several BHS musicians were inducted into Tri-M (Modern Music Masters). They were selected based on their musicianship, excellence, and leadership. Congratulations go to: Sean Grady, Joseph Brozek, Julia Maloof, Helen Hale, Lynn Barszcz, Stephen Boucher, Erin Gendreau, Kyle Mercer, Grace Campbell, Adam Messier, Kara Nietupski, Alexis LaVallee, Fatina Martidis, Aaron Funk, Kathryn O'Leary, and Cienna Lyon. Following their induction, they all played or sang as soloists or in small ensembles. Everyone performed beautifully for an appreciative audience. After the event, both current and new Tri-M members posed for group photos.
This past week was Spirit Week at Jabish Brook Middle School. The week was full of fun for all as each day had a theme. The culmination of the week was a 60s Peace Day on Friday where everyone was invited to dress from that era. I was happy to join in the fun that day and was in my teenage element! However, there was a serious side through a presentation on the principles of our PeaceBuilders program, which included some videos demonstrating the effects of bullying and mean-spiritedness on victims of these harsh acts. Following the presentation, the students returned to class, where they held group discussions. This was the kick-off to the year's PeaceBuilders program for the students.
The School Committee will be meeting on Tuesday, October 22nd, in the library at Swift River Elementary School. The meeting will begin at 5:30 pm so two finalists for the position of Director of Student Support Services can be interviewed. Following the interviews and deliberation, the rest of the meeting will proceed. Check out the School Committee area of our web site, under the District tab, to see the agenda.
As always, if you have any questions about this post, feel free to call me at 323.0423.
Best, Dr. Judith Houle, Superintendent of Schools
