Last week, students traveled to the Danvers Marina for the Empowering Youth Voices Conference. They met with policy leaders and other students to help destigmatize and advocate for youth mental health in schools. Thank you to Mr. DiSciscio and Ms. Sulzman for leading this trip!

For this year's Scholarship, Integrity, Leadership, and Spirit (SILS) award winners, nominated by our teachers, are Nelli Margayan and Gavin Ryan! The award recipients possess high integrity, demonstrate leadership and good citizenship, and have participated in school and community service. Nelli, Gavin, and Principal Giacobozzi traveled to Burlington for the award ceremony. Congratulations Nelli and Gavin!

Our very popular club, the Ping Pong Society, is having a great time playing together! Club members are friendly, but the competition is ferocious. Huge shoutout to Mr. MacLaughlin for his help in making this club so fun and successful.

This week's Teacher Appreciation Week has been AWESOME!! We've enjoyed an ice cream social, a fantastic dessert buffet and lunch, courtesy of our Advanced Culinary students, lots and lots of cookies, and a special performance from our Advanced Rock Band students. Next week, our PTO members will be hosting breakfast and lunch! Huge thank you to everyone who has made this week awesome, our PTO members, and, of course, our teachers!!

Wednesday, May 7th, all students received their quarter 4 progress reports. The reports are also available on PowerSchool (labeled P4) and reflect student's progress from April 4th to May 6th. Quarter 4 grades, different than the progress report grades, reflect student's live and current grades throughout the quarter.

We are also piloting a change in the way we do progress reports. Previously, students received grades of H, S, N, or U, and this quarter we are trying traditional grade reporting (A, B, C, D, F).
