On this Memorial Day our hearts are filled with gratitude for the courageous men and women of our armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice to secure our freedom. Our thoughts also turn to all the fallen soldiers who gave their heart and service to our community. To the families, we join you in honoring their lives and their immeasurable contributions to our world.

When you have the day off from school on Monday, take time to remember why! Thank you to the American Legion Post 19 for developing this presentation for our schools!

Please come out vote! Funding our schools is crucial!

Our Entrepreneurship students did such a fantastic job at the business pitch competition last week! We are so proud of them for all of the hard work they put into these presentations. Congratulations to all!

Breakers newsletter

The RI Council for the Arts sponsored a fully funded field trip for students in US History II Honors to visit the Breakers in Newport. Students were highly intrigued by the architecture, art and history of the gilded age. As always, student behavior was impeccable; they represented Scituate High School admirably.

Quotes from the students regarding the trip:

“The Breaker Mansion is a marvelous sight to be seen. The mansion’s architecture and artistry are embodied by pure elegance. That elegance flourished through the years and remains a spectacle to this day.” - Julienne Gomez

“The amount of detail put in each room of The Breakers was truly impressive. The fact that this home was only used during the summer and considered a “cottage” by the Vanderbilt family seems shocking by today’s standards.” -William Polouski

“It was amazing to see all the architectural styles and all the art. Learning that they imported many things from other countries and embraced other cultures in the style of the house was interesting. My favorite part of the house was the grand staircase with a tapestry of the story of Alexander the Great with a beautiful stained glass ceiling.” -Jessica Adams

Thanks to musician and artist Bob Schneider for visiting with Mrs. Stormont's AP Literature students. Bob shared his reactions to the students' literary analysis of several songs, and also offered his advice about creativity, pressure, and work ethic.

Students in Medical Interventions are working on a unit about preventing cancer. In this lab, students expose 2 strains of yeast to UV light to see the effect. Next, students will design an experiment to try to determine the best way to protect the yeast from UV damage.

Based on the number of instructional hours needed each year and our current calendar it has come to my attention that we do not have to make up any additional days. Therefore the last day of school will be June 14.
