South Egremont School got a masterclass in kindness and art this week! 🎨 We welcomed Kathryn Matsuzaki from the Norman Rockwell Museum to explore Rockwell’s legacy and his iconic "The Golden Rule" cover. After stepping into the painting through role-play, students created self-portraits for a collaborative poster that we’ll finish next week with their thoughts on "doing unto others." 🤝
Huge thanks to the museum for this free program, which included family tickets to the "American Stories" exhibit (June 6–Oct 26)! 🖼️✨

Kindergarten students engaged in a hands-on science and art project, exploring the defining characteristics of insects. They learned that insects have six legs, a head, thorax, abdomen, and one pair of antennae, and discussed how some insects have wings while others do not. Students applied this knowledge by sorting images of bugs to determine which were true insects. They then designed their own real or imaginary insect, carefully sketching and planning colors while ensuring all key features were included. To complete the project, students painted their insects using watercolor, named their creations, and proudly presented them to their classmates.
Before break, our 8th graders had an incredible experience learning and exploring together in Washington D.C. It was a wonderful opportunity to witness them navigating such significant historic spaces with maturity and enthusiasm. We are incredibly grateful to the dedicated chaperones and organizers who worked so hard to ensure the trip was safe, educational, and memorable for everyone involved.
Early College Forensic Science students practiced using micropipettes to transfer precise, microliter volumes into microcentrifuge tubes for their chromatography studies. A staple in molecular biology and research, the micropipette is a precision instrument designed for accurate liquid measurement. By utilizing disposable tips, these devices play a critical role in preventing contamination during sensitive procedures like PCR and cell culture.
Congratulations to Michael and Silas for successfully competing in the Connecticut Electrathon Challenge. Their 36V car completed an impressive 36 laps in one hour, demonstrating both skill and determination. Finishing 10th out of 24 teams is a strong accomplishment—well done to both of them!
Le Petit Ranch visited the South Egremont School with Suzette and Annette this week!
We learned that chickens remember faces, like to live in communities, and sing to their eggs.
They peck seeds, herbs, spices, grains and fruits!
We got to feel feathers and scaly dinosaur feet, pass the egg with a spoon, examine a feather under a microscope, and make art with colors and chicken food!

Shoutout to the amazing performers from this morning's elementary talent show. Our students did a terrific job!
The 2026 Faculty Art Exhibit is up! Stop by the community gallery space near the administration office to view work done by members of the staff at SBRSD.
This exhibition brings together a collection of work from the Southern Berkshire faculty, offering a window into the artistic practices they maintain outside the school day. The work serves as a reminder that art is more than a graded assignment; it is a lifelong mindset. By making time for their craft amidst professional and personal responsibilities, these teachers demonstrate that creativity is a vital way to remain curious and engaged with the world.

The 5th and 6th grade robotics program recently wrapped up its 8-week introductory session on VEX Robotics, giving students a strong foundation in engineering and teamwork. Throughout the program, each group worked collaboratively to design and build their own Clawbot, learning key concepts like construction, coding, and problem-solving along the way. The session culminated in an exciting competition where teams went head-to-head in two-minute rounds, aiming to score the most blocks. It was a great hands-on experience that sparked enthusiasm and creativity among all participants.
Family Science Night at UME
Families gathered Tuesday night to enjoy a guided hike out to our campus vernal pool. Two groups ventured out, with Massachusetts Audubon Educators Kayla Downs and Dale Abrams to learn about and explore our beautiful vernal pool trail.
