Ben's Buzz:
February 10, 2016
As a reminder, this year's February Break is an extended Presidents Day Weekend. This break will consist of an early release on Friday, February 12th, followed by no school on Monday and Tuesday the 15th and 16th. School will resume on Wednesday, February 17th.
This abbreviated break was approved by our administration and Board of Trustees in the Spring of 2015 in order to afford us an earlier last day of school. You may recall that last year our last day of school was June 23rd. At this point, our projected last day of school is June 16th. Please note that the June 16th date is subject to change based on any upcoming weather related closures.
Congratulations to Ms. Herliczek and all of our 7th and 8th grade students for their participation in the Science Fair. We will have six students participate in the Regional Science fair to be held at Bristol Community College in early March.
