Weekly Update: March 27, 2026
Tuesday afternoon our school community turned up the volume on joy at the Student Council–organized Spirit Show. Students and staff lit up the stage with incredible acts including magic, singing, dancing, a hilarious three-headed monster, a glow-in-the-dark spectacular, a guitar solo, and so much more. The talent, courage, and creativity in the room were unforgettable. Many thanks to the families who joined us and to all of our students, who were outstanding audience members, cheering each other on and filling the room with energy from start to finish.
Today we conclude our 3rd marking period, and 4th quarter clubs and community partnerships begin next Friday, April 3.

Come check out this amazing project:
Alongside WHOI scientists, Grade 7 learned how ocean data is collected by fishing vessels operating on the New England continental shelf and subsequently analyzed by scientists.
Guided by WHOI researchers, 7th graders conducted their own research and met with Jill Pelto, an artist and science communicator who creates data-driven artwork integrating real climate and conservation data to illustrate human–environment connections and make scientific information engaging and accessible.
