"B Well" Self-Defense Class
On April 11 and 12, the B Well Wellness Program will welcome Julie Morrill, a renowned self-defense and safety expert and founder of Train Your Roar. While we are fortunate to live and attend school in a remarkably safe area, we recognize that emergency situations can happen anywhere at any time, and being prepared can save a life. Morrill conducts safety workshops for young people around the world and trains students in real-world scenarios.
She will put on a safety presentation and demonstration on April 11 at 7 p.m., followed by a hands-on workshop where students can get involved and practice recommended techniques on April 12 at 7 p.m.
If you do not want your child to participate in this event, please contact Director of Health and Wellness Melissa Donais no later than April 10 or call (978) 725-6207.

Congratulations to our Students on the Forefront Interns
For years, Students on the Forefront of Science has provided exciting summer internship opportunities to rising sixth-form Brooks School students. During the past year, a steering committee has worked to expand the program to include not only science, but internships in the humanities, arts and finance, as well. We're thrilled to announce that after a robust application and interview process, 19 students (shown above) have been matched with 14 different sponsoring organizations. These summer experiences will enable our students to gain firsthand insights into professional fields of interest and apply their Brooks learning in real-time.
