Everyone is heading off for vacation, but first it was a busy day at SBSD. At Chamberlin, there was an Alphabet Fashion Show, RMCS students visited their neighbors at Allard Square and City Hall and sang for them, students in Mr. Carlson's science class had a science museum to present their projects on ecosystems and the high school had A Block with popular activity bead jewelry and introduced new activity, Drumline! That wraps up 2023, but we look forward to more busy days in 2024!

The Middle School held a food drive and dropped off of the cans at the Food Shelf today. They donated 3,011 items, which was 2,700+ pounds and the largest donation received by Food Shelf!
The Team Advisory with the most donated items got the privilege of bringing the FHTMS haul to the Food Shelf and this year Lauren Bartlett's TA won by bringing in 408 items!
The risers are ready! The Rick Marcotte Central School Winter Concert is tomorrow night! Chamberlain's concept is also tomorrow (during the day) and Orchard's Assembly is on Friday (just for students)! And the middle school is holding their concert tonight at the high school!🎶❄️
