Everyone is heading off for vacation, but first it was a busy day at SBSD. At Chamberlin, there was an Alphabet Fashion Show, Orchard held their Winter Sing Along, 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!
