You have made us proud!
Three of our finest 7th graders were finalists competing at the MA State Science Fair on June 5th at the Worcester Technical High School. These students placed at the MA Region III Science Fair back in March and then competed last Saturday with 300 other finalists from across all of Massachusetts. We were fortunate to have two of our students receive trophies for third place and $50 savings bonds from the U.S. Army:Matthew Salit for his project entitled: "Mouthwash Magic: Whiten and Brighten to Have Your Smile Enlightened!" Samantha Johannes for her project entitled: "Does a Stop Sign Really Mean Stop?" The other student who participated, Zachary Garabian, project was entitled: "Does the Weight of a Baseball Bat Affect the Distance Traveled by the Ball?" We congratulate these three students.

Local author, Diane Kosak, spoke to each of Mrs. Dumas's English classes about her latest book Exposing Eurabia, the sequel to Full Circle 911. She spoke about the importance of imagination, researching, and developing plots and characters. Each student was presented an autographed copy of Exposing Eurabia, generously donated by Pawtucket Credit Union.
