  • Shoutouts for the Climate Action Club! Tommy Chase wrote a grant for $500 in order to grow hydroponic lettuce in the cafeteria. Davion Dawkins spoke to the Hyannis Garden Club on tuesday and stole the show with his eloquent speech about the need for sustainability! Ysell Rivas, Jericah Dujua, Ashia Forrester, Gabriela Bilcalho and Lily Ghilardi are putting the system together---watch for it in the cafe! -Mrs. Beth Dietz

  • A HUGE SHARK SHOUT OUT to the students and alumni who came out in the rain to volunteer to help at the Suicide Awareness Walk this past Saturday in Hyannis or to represent our Hope Squad at the walk. The drizzle was relentless but spirits were bright. The photos below show our hard-working volunteers in their bright green t-shirts: some helped with set up, some were greeters, and some were course marshals. Pictured are: Rallston Hunter, Brittany Gould, Thomas Correia, Teresa Nobre, Ryan Casey, Michael Considine, Sophia Cohrs, Olivia Eldredge, Sophia Bourgea, and Ashleigh Bourgea. Volunteers who are not pictured are Annaleigh Massey and Hillevi Segerson. Members of the Hope Squad pictured are: Ashley Smith, Jordan MacRoberts, Tatum Jacobs, Camden Jolibois, and Asher Porter.
