This week LEAP students made a Jingle Mix to share with their families over the break. Each student added an ingredient to the mix and then drizzled it with white and milk chocolate and packaged it in cellophane bags. Some students made garlands to share with their families and designed their own gift bags.
Middle school musicians (and high school helpers) performed beautifully at last night's Winter Concert.

Mount Everett Band seniors began a group project this year titled “My Band Shirt, My Impact.”
Each student chose an SBRSD staff member who had an impact on them throughout their time at school. Students surprised each teacher with a shirt personalized with the student’s name, graduation year, and instrument. Teachers were presented with a letter and listened to speeches by the student who chose them describing their impact. It was a feel-good day for everyone involved. Ms. English hopes to make this a tradition every year.
Stay tuned for a student-made documentary about the project and a full list of the band seniors and chosen teachers in the new year!
Ms. Brown's 8th grade Genius Hour class has been putting this student-driven project together as a token of their appreciation for SBRSD faculty and staff. Students fundraised to buy all the materials, baked, and prepared them all themselves to show their gratitude for our school community.
On Friday, December 8 UME students and faculty wore their PJs in honor and support of a PreK student who has battled (and won) childhood cancer. The student's favorite color is red; in support of him, the PreK staff at UME wore red cancer ribbon PJ shirts.

We are so thankful for the donations that were made to SBRSD in the name of Jan Storti, a beloved English teacher at Mount Everett for over 40 years. During her teaching career, she served as the high school newspaper advisor, Cum Laude advisor, curriculum leader, graduation advisor, National Honor Society advisor, and the GED language arts instructor. She worked to help SBRSD students well beyond her retirement and her memory lives on in the students she taught and the colleagues she supported at SBRSD.
Wishing you all a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

After reading the story, Balloons Over Broadway, which is a story about Tony Sarg and the history behind the floats in the Macy’s Day Parade, the New Marlborough Central School’s 1st graders designed and created their own balloon floats and then paraded around the school.
