Message from Mr. Imbusch

Dear students, staff, and parents/guardians:

Today, we begin a week-long break from school. I hope that students and staff will enjoy some rest and relaxation, and return on Monday 26th rejuvinated and ready to resume teaching and learning.

If you're having trouble coming up with some things-to-do in the Boston area, the Boston Discovery Guide has a few suggestions. Also, see the information below from our Drama Club, who will be performing Radium Girls tonight and tomorrow night!

Have a wonderful February break!

Sincerely,

Stephen Imbusch

Principal

Humane Society

The Humane Society will be collecting donations for local shelters. We will be collecting towels, paper towels, unopened dog/cat food, gently used collars and leashes, gently used toys, dog beds, sanitizing wipes and other pet supplies. There will be a box in the front lobby for donations. All monetary donations are making a difference at local shelters, like the sponsoring of a puppy cage through the Great Dog Rescue of New England.

Photography Club

The Photography Club will hold its next meeting on Leap Day and this is our 20th Meeting. It's been a great year so far. Over vacation the theme is to use the setting on your phone cameras and have some fun with the .5x setting. We all love how those make us look like we have super long arms and legs in our selfies. Well maybe you could take a funny picture in .5x in a selfie or try a landscape in .5x and see if it actually comes out pretty good. It's for those super wide shots. If you are going on vacation somewhere give it a try. Anyone wanting more information on the Photography Club can contact Mrs. D'Agostino and follow our instagram: photography_whs123
