Before We Move On To May
As April comes to a close, I just wanted to highlight some of the unbelievably fabulous things that happened at NMS this past month.
- Our Student-Led Conferences having been piloted throughout the building were an incredible success. We saw more parent involvement than we have ever seen before during the Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences. Our students and teachers are loving the system and are seeing such gains with our students at the center of their own learning. Much more of this to come.
- Our Jimmy Fund Team Dylan Berio Rally Against Cancer Fundraiser raised a little over $1,500 for the Jimmy Fund and cancer research. It is a testament to the community Middleborough is.
- Our 1st Annual STEM Fair was an amazing success with students volunteering their efforts to show how creative they are in the science and technology field. Awesome.
- Our Wizard of Oz shows were stupendous. (I am running out of adjectives to describe the work of our students this month.) The shows were top-notch and the house was phenomenally packed for all three sensational shows.
- The work our students did on our ELA MCAS administration was wonderful. Students worked hard and it showed every single day. I know our scores will reflect this diligence.
- Our teachers and students continue to utilize the technology in our building by bringing in their own devices or having greater utilization of Google Apps and our ever-expanding tablets.
- Our own Geography Champ, Owen McCarthy represents our community again at the State Championships.
- Our students continue to impress as we move through the warm days and finish strong as the year begins to come to a close as grades for Trimester 2 end and Trimester 3 begin.
I am thrilled with the work we are doing as a complete school community from the teachers and staff working the way they have this year to our students doing a phenomenal job being the center of their own learning, and to the parents and community who are supporting our efforts for they know and see we are moving in the right direction.
Thank you.
May May be as prodigious.
