Mount Everett Theatre department presents
Almost Maine
In an almost-town that is so far north in Maine that it’s almost Canada, we discover a community that is almost getting through the winter. On a cold, clear night filled with stars, we see nine stories where connections are forged and split, where hearts are bound and broken, and where magic appears along with the northern lights. John Cariani’s beloved Maine masterpiece is on the Mount Everett stage for the first time reminding us all of the power of love and the importance of belief.

By honing their skills with the Adobe Illustrator Pen tool, Mt. Everett’s Digital and Early College Graphic Design students brought themselves to life through custom vector self-portraits.
Our kindergarteners turned into masters of disguise this week! To explore the science of animal survival, students designed paper frogs with custom camouflage patterns meant to blend perfectly into our classroom environment. Once the frogs were "hidden" in plain sight, the class went on a walking tour to test their observational skills. We wrapped up with a great discussion on why certain colors made some frogs nearly invisible while others stood out. It was a fantastic blend of artistic creativity and scientific inquiry.
Mt. Everett drone teams victorious in Bristol
The Bristol Arts and Innovation Magnet School served host to the REC Aerial Drone Tournament on Saturday. The competition was run with split divisions between middle school and high school. Mt. Everett sent three teams to each division.
The team of Brayden, Massi, and Jordan showed off their skills and teamwork throughout the day earning an invite to the playoffs. The team advanced in the semi-final round and moved on to the finals. The team saved one of their best runs for last and came away with the championship, scoring a 163-110 victory. The middle school team of Alea and Lainey also had a great day finishing second after round robin play and third in the overall skills competition.
In the high school division, the team of Eli and Nico won the overall skills contest. The skills competition is a combined score of a team’s best autonomous drone run as well as their best piloting run. The team of Diego and Cohen also proved their skills in making a run to the finals of the high school division before bowing out 161-145.
Other team members having good performances and gaining valuable experience on the day include Tonia, Katie, John, James, and Ayden. Further information about the REC Aerial Drone Competition can be found at their website: https://recfevents.org

Once again, this year’s Cabaret served as a testament to the exceptional talent within our music department. A huge congratulations to the performers, as well as Ms. English and Ms. Caruso, for orchestrating such a successful evening.
This week, through our partnership in the Jewish Federation of the Berkshire's "Hate Has No Home Here" campaign, Mt. Everett was the fourth school in Massachusetts to host the Mobile Museum of Tolerance. Students in grades 7-12 participated in workshops including "Combat Hate: Digital Media Literacy", "Civil Rights", "The Power of Ordinary People", and "The Anne Frank Story".
The SES spent a magical morning in the woods with Flying Deer! We tracked rabbits, deer, mice, and birds through the brush before warming our hands by a crackling fire. To top off the adventure, we enjoyed the ultimate winter treat: delicious warm maple syrup drizzled over fresh snow.
Fifth-grade students at UME designed, built, and tested water filters this week. This activity simulated how water cycle infiltration filters out particulates to produce clean groundwater.
Last week, NMC PreK dove into dental health and nutrition with a special visit from Nurse Lisa. Using a giant toothbrush and model teeth—which the kids found hilarious—she taught the class the proper way to brush, floss, and choose nutritious foods. The learning continued with interactive tabletop games, where students rolled dice to count "teeth" using white cubes and practiced number recognition by coloring and "brushing" teeth clean. They also sharpened their math skills with ten-frames and learned to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy food choices. Keep your smile bright!

Last week, our elementary families joined together for the PTO-sponsored Glow Dance! It was incredible to see everyone come together for such a glowing cause— proceeds from the night will benefit the 5th-grade field trip to Nature’s Classroom.
A huge shout-out to our amazing parent volunteers who spent the evening transforming faces with neon paint and to everyone who donated the delicious food that kept our dancers moving. Special shout out to the teachers who made the night happen. Great job, DJ Huckleberry Spin and MC Murray on the Mic

Students in Mr. Von Ruden’s Intro to Woodworking class are officially "hooked" on the basics. They’re mastering the art of hand tools to carve out these realistic trout projects. It’s amazing to see these shapes start to emerge from the wood!
Huge congratulations to Sophie DelMasto on winning this year’s First Resistance Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) Good Citizens Award,🎓✨
Sophie was selected as the sole representative for Mount Everett, a distinction that speaks volumes about her character. This award recognizes the four pillars of a true leader: Dependability, Service, Leadership, and Patriotism—qualities Sophie embodies every single day.
We are so incredibly proud of your hard work, Sophie, and your unwavering commitment to making a difference in our community. Keep shining! 🌟👏
Under the expert guidance of Ms. Gott and Mr. Carpenter, Food Prep students mastered the art of the perfect cut. From knife safety to proper technique, these rising chefs are learning that great cooking starts with great prep.
A powerful day of art and history at Mount Everett. Students experienced "Third Generation: A Survivor’s Story," a dance piece by Shany Dagan that explores the "echoes" of Holocaust survival and the resilience passed down through generations. The performance concluded with a thoughtful Q&A, allowing students to connect directly with Shany and the performers about the creative process and the history behind the movement.
Kindergarteners had a wonderful time making crepes with guest parents Marjorie Borreda and Mitch Moulton from Le Petit Ranch! Together, students read the recipe, took turns measuring ingredients, and practiced their stirring skills. This hands-on lesson strengthened early literacy and math skills while fostering teamwork and patience. Beyond the cooking, students explored how crepes bring French families together, expanding their cultural horizons one delicious bite at a time!
To celebrate national FFA week, Mount Everett’s FFA welcomed both Massachusetts state and national officers. Together they provided lessons and demonstrations about eggs, hatching, and chickens for Mrs. Carlson‘s first grade class.
We are so proud of our Mt. Everett Middle School students for their participation in the Changemakers for Good student leadership program. This incredible initiative empowers our young leaders to identify community needs, build empathy, and take real action to create positive change.
Seeing our students step up to lead with heart and purpose is what being an Eagle is all about! We can’t wait to see the "good" they bring to our school and community.
