INTRODUCTION
From SBRSD’s Director of Curriculum
and Instruction, Julie Dolan
We are at the end of another
successful school year at
SBRSD. Our students,
staff, and community have
all worked really hard to
make the 2023-2024 school year productive,
rewarding, and memorable.
This, our final 2023-2024 issue of Educating
Our Eagles, offers a “look back” on the school
year – highlighting achievements, academic
progress, and all of the unique and memorable
aspects of education at SBRSD.

Family Math Night was a tremendous
success! We welcomed over 150
attendees of all ages and from all three
schools. Every family had the opportunity
to enjoy engaging math games designed to
enhance mathematical comprehension. They
also received copies of the games to continue
the fun at home. Additionally, students had a
blast participating in a school-wide scavenger
hunt, searching for math-related concepts.
Prizes were awarded to all children who
participated. The estimation table was a hit,
where children made educated guesses about
the number of items in a group or the length of
a ribbon. We had several close guesses! A big
thank you to all the families and teachers who
contributed to making this event so wonderful!

Mount Everett competitive tech teams put
together another banner year. In robotics,
the school had 19 students in grades 6-12
participate in the VEX Robotics Competition – the most
ever. The high school team competed twice and made the
playoffs at both events. The three middle school teams
attended an event of 30 teams in Framingham with Mount
Everett placing teams in 10th and 11th place.
Mount Everett sent 3 drone teams to an event in
Winsted, CT, in which all three qualified for the
regional championship. At the New England Drone
Championship, Mount Everett’s team of 8th graders
finished 7th out of the 32 teams.
Mount Everett’s rocket team once again competed in
the American Rocketry Challenge. This year the rocket
needed to take an egg to 820 feet and back down within
a 42-45 second flight window. After many designs and
test launches, Mount Everett had their official flights on
March 15th. The first flight hit 826 feet and the second
790. The egg survived both flights.
Finally, Mount Everett started in a new electric vehicle
racing team this year. The team competed against 6
other schools in Berlin, CT in May. The race challenges
teams to complete as many laps of the track as they can
in one hour, changing drivers every 15 minutes. Teams
can pit at any time to fix electrical or mechanic issues,
but it does cost valuable track time. During the event,
teams cannot change or charge their batteries. Mount
Everett completed 83 laps finishing 3rd and receiving
another piece of hardware for the trophy case at school.

By tackling real-world problems through hands-on activities,
students actively engage with science, technology, engineering,
and math concepts. This approach fosters critical thinking,
collaboration, and problem-solving skills as they design, build, and
test their ideas. PBL goes beyond memorization, turning STEM into a
dynamic and relevant experience that ignites a passion for innovation
and prepares them for the ever-evolving world.

In our schools, hands-on activities aren’t just fun and games; they’re a
powerful learning tool. By building volcanoes, creating maps out of salt
dough, or measuring ingredients for a science experiment, students become
active participants in their education. These activities bring the curriculum
to life, solidifying concepts and fostering a deeper understanding of the
world around them. This approach not only strengthens their knowledge
but also develops critical skills like problem-solving, collaboration, and
creativity, making them well-rounded learners.

Our SBRSD community proudly
participated in the Berkshire County
Special Olympics at Monument
Mountain on Wednesday, May 1st! Students
from kindergarten through fifth grade donned
their school colors and marched high in the
opening ceremonies.
The energy was electric as athletes from all over
the county competed in friendly competition.
Cheers erupted from the crowd as teams gave
their all in the softball throw, long jump, and
the ever-popular 50-meter dash. We even had a
shining star in fifth grade who brought home a
gold medal in the 100-meter dash!
The day wasn’t just about winning. It was about
celebrating inclusion, sportsmanship, and the
joy of competition. Our SBRSD athletes brought
home an impressive haul of 15 medals – 5 gold,
5 silver, and 5 bronze. But more importantly,
they made new friends, shared hugs, and left
with smiles stretching from ear to ear.

SBRSD fosters a unique sense of community
where students forge bonds from infancy all
the way through to senior year. The nurturing
environment goes beyond classrooms, feeling
more like a family than just a school. In such a
close-knit atmosphere, teachers and peers get to
know you on a personal level – understanding
your learning style, your emotional well-being,
and who you are as an individual.

get to do more teamwork, plus you can
help someone and they can help you if
you need it. The entire year has been
very passionate. It helped us learn that
“teamwork is the dream-work” isn’t just
a saying. We got our lungs and breath
stronger. Band is challenging but fun,
so when you play it correctly, you feel
amazing.”
