Town Meeting
There will be a special Town Meeting this Tuesday, February 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the Buck Auditorium at Town Hall to determine if the new BMHS building project will move forward. Two-thirds of the Town Meeting Members need to vote in favor of the project. If the project receives the support of 2/3rds of the members, then the entire community would vote on the proposal Saturday, March 5.
Empty Bowls
Our Fine Arts and Family & Consumer Science Departments have teamed up to support the community and raise funds for those in need. The Empty Bowls fundraiser is open to the public and begins at 5 p.m. this Tuesday, February 23. Our students have created ceramic bowls that they will be filling up with their favorite homemade soup recipes. The money raised will directly support local families through our monthly food market. Please consider coming by before Town Meeting and enjoy some food before the vote.
FIRST Robotics
Tuesday is proving to be a very busy day around here. Aside from the Special Town Meeting and Empty Bowls, Team 4909, the Billerica Bionics will be finishing up the build season for the 2016 competition. This year's event is called Stronghold and provides elements of past competitions. I receive a lot of questions about robotics and our team. Since the build season is coming to a close with the official bagging and tagging of our robot on Tuesday, I thought this might be a good time to share what has happened and how you can witness what robotics is all about. http://www.team4909.org/ Please follow this link FIRST Stronghold 2016 to watch a video of this year's competition. The video is just over 3 minutes, but provides an extensive overview of the competition and, I believe, demonstrates why FIRST Robotics is considered the academic equivalent to athletics.
This is Who We Are
Mr. Murphy,
My name is Jeff Avigian and I am teacher
at Danvers High School. I just returned
from a trip to Greece with eight kids and we were fortunate enough to be paired
with Billerica Memorial High School. I just
wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how wonderful your kids were. You should be really proud of the way they
acted and accepted my group of kids as one of their own. I have heard horror stories about other trips
with the groups they were paired with and I am so glad we were paired with
Billerica.
As far as staff, Jessica and Joanne were
beyond amazing. This was my first trip
and Jessica led me through the whole process.
Without her, I don't know if the trip would've been successful. Joanne was amazing as well, always greeting
my kids in the morning asking them how they slept like they were from
Billerica. These two made my time on the
trip so much fun.
I will go back to my principal and let
her know anytime Danvers High school can travel with Billerica we shouldn't
hesitate to do so.
Once again you should be proud of they
way the students and staff handled and treated us as one of their own.
Sincerely,
Jeff Avigian
