Cari from White Memorial Conservation Center visited NMC this week for a presentation called, “Wildlife Outside our Windows”. The presentation was all about what animals we might see in our backyards. Cari told facts about the animals and the children played a game of “Guess what animal this artifact comes from”. It was a very interactive and informative presentation. She brought three live animals: Rocky the Box Turtle, Jacob the Rat Snake, and Shakespeare the Barred Owl. All of the animals that they have at the center were brought there because they were injured and in need of rehabilitation and a new home. Thanks to the generous donation of the New Marlborough Cultural Council, we were able to have this program come to NMC.
With the extremely generous help of the Eagle’s Fund, the 7th-grade team is embarking on an exciting end-of-year field trip to Groton and Stonington, CT. Students are experiencing programs from Project Oceanology and the New England Science and Sailing Foundation.
Great job, 5th and 6th graders, at last night's band and chorus concert!
UME Kindergarteners planted Sunflowers, Morning Glories, and Nasturtiums.
As the class planted seeds, they made predictions and observations about how seeds grow over time.
The 6-8th grade band and choir students had their Spring concert last night. Great job to all of the musicians.
5th graders at UME had a tie-dye day to prepare for their upcoming Moving Up day!
The Early Childhood Education students received a grant from the Eagle Fund to purchase RealCare Babies.
The entire 5th grade traveled to The Lenox Wildlife Sanctuary and spent the morning evaluating the water quality on the property. Analysis included temperature, Ph, macroinvertebrate diversity, and dissolved oxygen.
We saw deer, snakes, frogs, beaver, and tons of macroinvertebrates!
Senior, Amber, left a mural painted on the wall of the middle school bathroom as a parting gift to her classmates.

Mount Everett Awards and Scholarships Night 2023
Congratulations seniors!
Mount Everett students and alumni were honored and awarded at the 2023 Great Barrington Rotary Scholarship Ceremony this afternoon.
Last week, all of the NMC students and staff traveled over to the New Marlborough Meeting House to watch the Nutshell Playhouse perform, Spyjinks! It is about three intrepid spies and a parrot who are on their very first spy mission.
In honor of National EMS Week, members from The New Marlborough Ambulance and Police Department visited NMC to discuss how they respond during an emergency, as well as what constitutes an emergency. The students also got to go into the ambulance and check out all of the equipment.
SBRSD students and alumni participated in today's Memorial Day observances, including the Golden Eagle Band who performed at three parades! We're proud to honor those who gave all.
