Halloween Karaoke party in 6th grade Chorus
Mount Everett students celebrated Halloween with a dance party and costume contest during Advisory today. Congratulations to the creative costume winners!
Scholastic's United States of Readers™, a first-of-its-kind literacy program, was launched at SBRSD yesterday. This innovative partnership will allow students to choose two books, five times a year, for a total of 10 books at no cost to families to add to their at-home libraries. Teachers at the participating schools will receive 25 books for their classroom library, further expanding book choice and access for the entire school community. Students were excited to welcome guests to UME's official launch ceremony, including a presentation by Jerry Pallotta, a Massachusetts native and award-winning author of the Scholastic book series Who Would Win.

Mount Everett students brought their books to school in the most creative ways for "Anything but a Backpack" day as part of Spirit Week!
📚Earlier this week, students in every class at NMC, UME, and SES were excited to receive their first set of books through the United States of Readers program! The joy was palpable as teachers unboxed the USoR packages across the district, with students eagerly diving into their new books. Over the school year, they’ll each have the chance to choose eight more books to bring home and enjoy. Thank you for supporting and celebrating this exceptional exemplary program in our rural public elementary schools. Reading rocks!
Check out NMC's new rockin' pathway! Each grade painted a rock inspired by "Only One You." by Linda Kranz. They aim to continue adding new painted rocks to the walkway each year.
Autumn Adventures in PreK! 🍂🍁

The Mt. Everett Robotics program once again stole the show at Flying Cloud Institute’s STEAM Challenge Night. This year's festivities were held at Hancock Shaker Village. Presenting alongside representatives from the Berkshire Innovation Center and the University of Albany, Mt. Everett juniors Ben Vella and Sophie DelMasto helped young students (and some adults) learn the basics of driving a robot and piloting a drone. Young students from all over the county attended last night’s event and at points were 10-15 deep in line waiting for a chance to work with our Mt. Everett students. Many parents took the opportunity to scan QR codes to watch videos of Mt. Everett’s underwater drone, model rockets, and EV go-kart in action.
Mt. Everett was the only high school invited to present at the event. Other presenters included Berkshire Sterile Manufacturing, Crane Paper, Greenagers, Mass Audubon, Berkshire Natural Resources Council, Hancock Shaker Village, Bottomless Bricks, Bard College at Simon's Rock, and Flying Cloud Institute.
This event is part of the statewide Mass STEM Week initiative. To see more photos, please visit: https://www.mteverettrobotics.org/fci-steam-night-2024.html
