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!

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!
