Seniors are leaving their mark as they prepare for their final day of school.
NMC Pre-K students were excited to receive their last books from the United States of Readers program.
NMC PreK students are learning about the life cycle of frogs and pond life. They created their own lily pads, complete with a handprint frog. For the frog's tongue, they curled red paper strips around pencils and then added a bug to the end.
The children also learned that frogs absorb water through their soft bellies. To demonstrate this, they used a frog-shaped sponge to observe how it soaked up water. They colored their own frog life cycle books and sponge-painted frogs onto their handmade ponds.
Over the next couple of weeks, the students will continue their exploration of pond ecosystems, learning about other animals and plants that inhabit these environments.
Proud to see our SBRSD community out in full force today, honoring those who served! The Mount Everett band were wonderful representatives in not one, not two, but three Memorial Day parades across our district towns. 🇺🇸
Congratulations to the Mt. Everett EV Racing Team for completing 80 laps in one hour today at the Connecticut Alternative Energy Race in Berlin.
Hans Smith, a Mount Everett Class of 1990 alumnus, visited the school today to donate copies of his book, "Bombs Away: A B-17 Pilot's 'Small' Part in a Big War," to the school library. The book tells the story of Smith's great-uncle.

Senior Send-off Spirit Week
To celebrate Earth Day/May Day at New Marlborough Central, all of the students in Pre-K through 3rd grade chose an activity that they were interested in. Then, they enjoyed an afternoon of shared discovery in a multiage group setting. Every teacher and staff member led the activities, which included making paper, a nature scavenger hunt, weeding and beautifying the garden beds, making bug hotels, using recycled items to create treasure from trash, painting rocks to add to the school garden, and using natural dyes from weeds to color clothing. It was a wonderful experience for all involved!

Fourth-quarter Impressionism-inspired paintings created by eighth-grade students.
Fourth-grade science classes built and tested oscilloscopes to make sound waves visible.
Fifth-grade science students explore the idea of inversely proportional relationships. The phenomenon of objects appearing smaller when they are far away is due to apparent size and the concept of perspective. The lesson was a one-day residency with MAPS: Music, Art, Puppets & Sound.
The Early College Graphic Design class learned about typography by designing acrylic boards laser cut with a message of their choice.
Mount Everett's 2025 Prom was a huge success, thanks to the fantastic efforts of the junior class prom committee and all the teachers who helped organize and chaperone the event!
