May News!

Congratulations to Michael Gross for being the first place winner in the 2012 Student Essay Contest sponsored by the Massachusetts Credit Union League. Michael has been invited to attend an awards ceremony at the State House to be recognized on June 7, 2012.

Currently students are wrapping up their studies in writing class with parts of speech, particularly adjectives, prepositions, and conjunctions. We are finishing our study of different types of writing with the art of persuasion, which will conclude with a debate.

It is not too soon to begin studying for the final exam, which is scheduled for Wednesday, June 13th (periods 6 & 7).

As a cluster, we would not want to leave you without a good book to read. Please refer to the BLS.org website for information on summer reading requirements. Consider purchasing recreational books to read over the summer via Scholastic.com. If you plan to buy books, please submit your order by May 29th!

Enjoy the long weekend!
