SABRINA GONZALEZ, a SMHS graduate, was commissioned to create an 8ft by 10ft painting on wooden panels for BOW MARKET in SOMERVILLE, MA. There will be a reception for Sabrina & her artwork this Saturday, November 23 from 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM. It all started with a call for art that Bow Market advertised, and Sabrina submitted a sketch based on the theme they had chosen.

Every week representatives from colleges and universities across the nation come to SMHS to meet with students to provide information about their programs and answer questions. If your student is interested in meeting with a visiting college representative they can sign up online through their Naviance account.

Questions should be directed to Kathy Lucas (klucas@sandwich.k12.ma.us) or Melissa Murphy (mmurphy@sandwich.k12.ma.us) in the guidance office.

Please encourage your student to take advantage of the wonderful peer tutoring opportunities available in science and mathematics. Members from the National Science Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta, the National Mathematics Honor Society, are available in the library during Knight Time to offer tutoring services to any student in grades 7-12.
