This morning, we enjoyed a lovely breakfast with our Top 10 academic achievers and their families! We are so proud of how hard these students have worked. Make sure to read about each of them in the Valley Breeze. Congratulations to all!
The grade 7 team, along with Mr. Brian Sheehan, our CTE Coordinator, visited the Submarine Force Museum earlier this month. Students had the opportunity to tour the USS Nautilus, the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, and explore interactive exhibits at the museum. This educational visit exposed students to various career pathways in naval engineering, marine science, and military service while connecting to our classroom curriculum. The field trip was being funded by a CTE grant through the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE), our SMS PTO, and the Feinstein Foundation!
The 6th and 7th grade enrichment classes took part in the annual Scituate Reservoir Poster Contest. This year's theme was Ephemeral Streams: The Stream Less Travelled. The winners from the middle school joined the Agricultural Club as leaders at the Water Festival put on last week by the Northern Rhode Island Conservation District, and helped out the third graders from Scituate and neighboring towns. Congratulations to the winner, Julia Bianco, and our two honorable mentions, Elsie Cheng and Paige Davis.
The Foreign and Regional Foods students have been preparing meals from many countries throughout the world! Last week, they prepared chicken fried rice, pot stickers, and cinnamon roll danish.
Congratulations to our middle school students who earned Spartan Shout-outs last week!

Clayville Fourth and fifth graders were excited to spend some time with the SHS Band and Chorus! This is another step in the fifth-grade transition process. Students can choose to take band or chorus during their middle school experience.
North Scituate's Mrs. Grissom won a Recess Visit from College Athletes through Recess Rocks in Rhode Island (RRRI). On Friday, April 4th, Bryant College athletes joined students for recess to play games and talk about teamwork and being a good sport! They helped make recess EXTRA fun! Huge thank you to Karin Wetherill (RI Healthy Schools Coalition), Jessi & Margaux (Playworks coaches), and the Bryant Athletes for making this possible!
14 students at Hope earned a pizza party for having tremendous attendance at school during Trimester 2! Congratulations to all!
The Girls Lacrosse Team visited students at Clayville Elementary last Friday to help students start their day off with smiles and high-fives! Clayville students were thrilled to see them.
Physical Science students at SHS were engaged in learning about light and optics during a lesson taught by Mr. Guertin from Rhode Island College (RIC) during his final week of student teaching.
A few of the stations included: light dispersion, refraction & color mixing and the science of shadows. Although many of the students have observed or experienced these phenomena on their own, Mr. Guertin's lesson explained the mechanism behind each of them with this kinesthetic lab.
Congratulations to our middle school students who earned Spartan Shout-outs this past week!

A reminder that the NHS and RIHS induction ceremony is on Wednesday, May 7, starting at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium! Family and friends are welcome to attend--no tickets or reservations are required.
NHS members met this week for an hour of service. Some members helped stuff catnip toys to be donated to the Friends of the Scituate Animal Shelter. The toys will be sold at the Scituate Art Festival to benefit the Scituate Animal Shelter.
Some members helped prepare programs for the upcoming NHS Induction ceremony, while others gathered positive notes that will be given to high school teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week.
A group of 28 travelers including World Language students, chaperones, and parents went to France during April break! They toured many famous sites including The Eiffel Tower, The Arc de Triomphe, The Louvre, Omaha Beach in Normandy, and several chateaux and cathedrals, walking a total of over 45 miles over the course of the trip!
Mr. Lee from the Scituate Watershed Education program visited Hope students to educate 3rd graders on keeping the Scituate Reservoir and the surrounding watershed clean. Students had the opportunity to manipulate a model to learn about how pollutants affect the environment and reservoir!
Students at North Scituate debated on the topic of "Should children be paid for chores, yes or no?" Students picked a side, then researched and argued it. Prior to the debate, students brainstormed sentence starters with their teacher. There were three jobs for each team, and students discussed who would take on each job. Principal Soccio was impressed to see the level of respect for each other's opinions while arguing their own points. Students worked well together to ensure everyone's voice was heard.
Under the guidance of Hope Art Teacher, Mrs. McCann, students in grades K-5 have been creating a beautiful mural on the wall in the K-2 hallway! Each student designed their own flower representing something about them, used transfer paper to copy their design onto the wall, and then added color and detail to their design on the wall!
