Dear Pentucket Families,
This week brought a few hints of spring in the air, and it finally feels like we may have turned a corner after a long winter. The warmer temperatures and longer days are certainly welcome!
On Tuesday evening, we held our Winter Sports Banquet, which was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of our winter student-athletes. It was a great evening for families, athletes, and coaches to come together after a long and demanding season. The dedication, teamwork, and perseverance our students demonstrated this winter made us all very proud.
We also had a meaningful learning opportunity for our middle school students this week. Berwick Academy senior Johnnie McComiskie spoke with our 7th and 8th graders about living with epilepsy. Johnnie shared his personal experiences and helped students understand what epilepsy is and what they can do if someone is having a seizure. His willingness to educate others and advocate for awareness was incredibly impactful, and we are grateful for his leadership.
All in all, it was a good week at Pentucket. As always, thank you for your continued partnership and support.
Have a great week!
