Yesterday afternoon, Vivian, Shiya, and Shyanne from Dr. Canavan's English II class visited the Pre-K classroom. The high school students wrote an original children's book titled "The Positive Pickle" and shared it with the enthusiastic young learners.

This week, Southern Berkshire Regional School District had the honor of recognizing Ben Vella as our Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents (MASS) Award recipient.

Congratulations, Ben!

Mount Everett' Prom 2026
Thank you to the Junior Prom Committee for planning a wonderful evening and for Laci, Yaritza, Hailey, and Ms. Gott for the amazing dessert table. Special thanks to the Country Club of Pittsfield, DJ Chris Plankey, and Berkshire PhotoBooth for helping our students have a night to remember!

Demonstrating exceptional technical skill and collaboration, the Mt. Everett middle school drone team secured a spectacular runner-up finish in the middle school division at the Northeast Aerial Drone Championship in Fairmont, West Virginia. Competing against top-tier teams at the Fairmont State University Falcon Center, the team excelled through intense rounds of precision piloting, autonomous coding challenges, and strategic teamwork matches. This impressive second-place achievement highlights their dedication to STEM education, showcasing their engineering problem-solving capabilities and establishing Mt. Everett as a premier contender in competitive aerial robotics.

To bridge the gap between the classroom and the workforce, Mount Everett students engaged with industry professionals at a career fair highlighting local and global opportunities.

Thanks to our generous PTO and PTA and a large donation from Brockman Real Estate, we are able to bring Jenny Schwartz back for another round of the Science of Cooking classes at UME, NMC and SES! We are so lucky to have so much support for these amazing experiences!

You can watch live our middle school drone teams as they compete in West Virginia at the Northeast Aerial Drone Championship.

7th-grade Greek Week 2026

Calling all SBRSD Alumni!

We are putting the finishing touches on our end-of-year Look Book, and we want to celebrate where life has taken you since graduation!

Whether you’ve launched a new career, hit a major milestone, traveled the globe, or started a family, your home district wants to share in your success. Our current students find so much inspiration in seeing the many paths our alumni take—it’s a wonderful way to keep our community connected across the generations.

How to participate:
Email kgiordano@sbrsd.org with a brief update and a photo. We can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to!

Fifth grade science students gathered data to describe how high they can jump on earth. Then they returned to the classroom to calculate what that jump would be on other planets and moons in our solar system, as they learned about the relationship between mass and gravity.

Fourth grade science students demonstrated their knowledge of convection during their study of heat energy.

We have some pretty amazing teachers in the Southern Berkshire Regional School District! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to our dedicated teachers. Thank you for your patience, compassion, and the work you do every day to make our classrooms an engaging place for students to learn!

Congratulations to our SBRSD Special Olympians! Mount Everett was proud to be represented by Camden, who did a fantastic job. We also sent twelve student volunteers to assist with the long jump—well done to everyone involved!

Stay tuned for another post celebrating our elementary participants!

Pony magic at UME! 🐴 Thank you, Le Petite Ranch, for stopping by today and putting smiles on the faces of our students and staff.

The Southern Berkshire Regional School District is excited to announce our upcoming Celebration of Learning on Wednesday, May 28 from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at Mount Everett Regional School.

Every week, students in Mr. Wolgemuth’s classes take a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate the good stuff.
Through a regular weekly exercise, students write down one positive or joyous moment from their week and add it anonymously to the classroom bulletin board.

Our 7th graders are kicking off the week by channeling their inner Olympians! Today, the field transformed into ancient Greece as students stepped into the ring for a Greek-style discus throw.

Huge shoutout to the Interact Club for spending their day volunteering in the pollinator garden! 🦋🌼
Thanks to their hard work, the garden is ready for Spring.
