Innovative Creations!

Ms. Marvin’s Advanced Baking class created beautiful entremets that highlight both skill and creativity. Each dessert included a baked base, a mousse, and a smooth glaze, showing strong technique and attention to detail.


 

Robotics News

At the end of March, the Robocats competed at Hartford High where they finished qualification matches 5th out of 37 teams. We were then selected by Team 236 for the 3rd of 8 alliances, alongside Team 9710.  Though we lost to Alliance 2 in the final playoff match, we were proud of our 3rd place finish.  The team also received the Industrial Design Award, which celebrates the team whose machine demonstrates industrial design principles, striking a balance between form, function, and aesthetics! Our strong performance also earned us a spot at the New England District Championships. The Robocats will be competing with 99 other teams during spring vacation at the Eastern States Exposition in Massachusetts.

Be Well at BA

Be Well At BA was a resounding success, creating a dynamic and engaging environment for our students to prioritize their physical and mental health. These dedicated wellness days saw both 10th and 11th graders fully immersed in a wide variety of activities specifically designed to promote holistic well-being.

The initiative was a direct response to the growing need for proactive health strategies among high school students. By offering diverse opportunities for engagement, we aimed to equip our sophomores and juniors with practical tools and knowledge they can apply to manage stress, build resilience, and maintain a balanced lifestyle throughout their academic careers and beyond.

Students had the chance to choose from sessions that ranged from high energy physical outlets, such as yoga and group fitness challenges, to calming and introspective activities like mindfulness meditation and creative art therapy. Workshops focused on practical skills, including effective stress-management techniques, the importance of proper nutrition and sleep hygiene, and building healthy interpersonal relationships.
