Three students from Mr. Duque’s Introduction to Engineering class—Janlucas Mercedes Morales, Angela Sarfo, and Ryan Lima—were honored with a special opportunity to visit Liberty Mutual’s headquarters in Boston this week. The visit was a reward for winning the Persistence Award at the 2025 One8 Student Showcase, where their project on portable, renewable clean energy stood out to industry volunteers as “super original and a great example of true iterative thinking.” During their visit, the students explored behind-the-scenes operations, learned about opportunities for internships, and enjoyed lunch with Liberty Mutual employees.

Bartlett’s Life Skills STEM Students Dig Into Gardening!

This spring, Bartlett’s Life Skills STEM class, with support from the Farm-to-School program, has been busy learning about plants and growing their own garden. Students explored hydroponics by starting seedlings in a hydroponic growing system, then carefully transplanting them into pots, which they tended with great care. They also started tomato seeds and flowers in soil pots, nurturing them until they were ready for the outdoors.

All their hard work paid off when they finished planting everything in the new garden beds outside the Mobile Classrooms. The students did an excellent job and are excited to watch their garden grow!

Families are welcome to stop by and see the garden, as well as take what you would like throughout the summer — we’re proud of what our students have accomplished and can’t wait to share it with you!
