CASTLE CHRONICLES - MARCH 18, 2024
A Blue Knight's Call to Arms:
From a 7th Grade Classroom to the Fields & Courts of Glory!
When seventh grader LILA HUNT was tasked with designing a Coat of Arms with a Latin motto in her Latin I class, she embraced the opportunity and dedicated her project to our school's revered athletic teams: Custodes Gloriae or Guardians of Glory... never a truer sentiment! Thank you, Lila!
Student BREANNA PRINDLE Steps Up & Out!
SMHS teacher Beth Donahue met up with SMHS student and talented dancer Breanna Prindle this weekend to enjoy some Irish Step Dancing. Breanna traveled all around the Cape, Plymouth and South Coast performing Irish Step Dancing to enthusiastic crowds this weekend in honor of Irish culture and St. Patrick's Day. Breanna will travel to Texas at the end of June to compete in the National Irish Step Dance Competition. Good luck, Breanna!
EMISCA Coach of the Year: WENDY PIERCE
At the recent Eastern Massachusetts Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association awards nominations, SMHS swim coach WENDY PIERCE was chosen as the Winter South Boys' Swim Coach of the Year! Wendy has been noticed for the past few years by her peers, as her teams continue to show success in the pool, while also displaying excellent levels of sportsmanship and character. Wendy has also been a league representative for the South Shore. She will be receiving her well deserved award at the annual banquet on April 28, 2024.
Congratulations, Ms. Pierce!
