June 10, 2022

Good afternoon-

It is hard to believe there are only 2 days of regular classes left.

Final exams are scheduled from Wednesday, June 15 through Wednesday, June 22. The schedule is attached here: Final Exam Schedule 2022

Please make sure your student comes to school with their Chromebook and charger. We do not have extras available for a large number of students. 

Students only need to attend when they have an exam. Students must be present during the exam period and can only use the make-up exam time if they have an excused absence. Please reach out to the office immediately if your student is unable to attend a required exam time. 

News from National Honor Society:

1)  NHS big check to NEADS

Members of the National Honor Society were pleased to present a "big check" to NEADS World Class Service Dogs (where our very own Huxley got his start) in the amount of $3850.  The reps from NEADS brought ambassador dogs Verna and Loring, and Huxley got to show them around his workplace!  Thanks to all the families who supported our fundraising efforts.  The amount we raised has qualified our group to "name a puppy" and students have nominated and voted on names to share with NEADS for their selection in a future litter.  This year's donation brings the total amount raised by NHS members for various charities to $49,904 over the past seven years.  

NEADS dogs are bred and trained to serve adults and children with physical disabilities, veterans, people with autism or developmental disorders, and as assistance dogs for the classroom, hospitals, courthouse, ministry, and therapeutic settings.  

2)  Appeal for grad gown donations sized under 5'7"

If you have a recently graduated senior at home, please consider donating their graduation gown (no caps, gown only) to the National Honor Society for use in our annual induction ceremony.  We have a special need for gowns in the under 5'7" size ranges.  These may be dropped off in the main office.  

3)  NHS Fundraiser at Dairy Queen on Tuesday

Rising NHS seniors have selected Heading Home, a non-profit which helps homeless people in Boston, as our charity for 2022-23.  Our first fundraiser for Heading Home is this Tuesday, June 14, at Dairy Queen on Pond St., Ashland.  Come by between 4 - 8 p.m. and show the attached flyer, and a portion of your order price will be donated to NHS and earmarked for Heading Home!
