We have turned the corner and spring is now officially upon us. A new season --- it also MCAS season (the fifth season?) and the time during the school year where we are working hard to fit all that we want to do into the next three months. Recently, we celebrated the young scientists in the building via the Science Fair. I spent time wandering from through the biology, chemistry and physics areas, learning about electrical polarity and meat-eating plants! I want to congratulate all of the participants as it was an event that highlighted student interests (from flight to video games) and allowed the students to demonstrate their abilities in creating and carrying out a successful experiment. It was a fabulous event that is a tradition at our school, and helps to create that unique flavor of education that is -- Shutesbury Elementary School.
