Girls on the Run!
Our GOTR team recently held their practice 5K, and they did amazing! Their stamina and confidence continue to grow! Their remaining lessons will help prepare them for the area Girls on the Run 5K held on November 14th at Western New England University!
Commissioner & Board of Education Visit!
We were so proud to host the Massachusetts Commissioner and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education at our school on Tuesday for their monthly board meeting. A group of 6th grade Ambassadors greeted visitors at the door, and provided a tour of our school garden prior to the meeting. At the start of the meeting, we invited the HRHS Chamber Singers to share a selection - which was just beautiful (note the 3 talented ATD alums in the group!).
The Board acknowledged ATD's history of strong academic performance on MCAS, as well as our work to reduce our rates of chronic absenteeism in the past few years. We are so proud of our school community!
Thanks to Exhibit A for letting our staff park in their parking lot to make room for our visitors!
