Honoring Our Veterans!
Students and staff at CUE, Burbank, and Butler came together to honor the brave men and women currently serving in our military and those who have served. We recognize their personal sacrifices in protecting our freedoms and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Through patriotic readings and songs, students across the grade levels celebrated our veterans and recognized each branch of the U.S. military. Veterans introduced themselves, and some even gave special shoutouts to their own schools and shared the years they graduated!
Students excitedly lined up to give veterans, along with BPS’s own superintendent and asst. superintendent, high-fives as they left the schools—a fun and heartfelt way to say thank you!
Thank you to all our veterans for your service and sacrifice. We are grateful for you!

Our 8th and 9th graders had a blast at an interactive assembly with ThinkFast Interactive, combining important lessons about vaping and drug misuse prevention with plenty of fun! Students teamed up, used handheld keypads to answer trivia questions, racked up points, and competed for a spot in the final contest. There was even a dance competition with DJ music to keep the energy going! It was a great way for students to bond with their peers, have fun, and learn about making healthy choices together.

The Belmont ELPAC hosted a potluck picnic at Wellington School on September 22 to welcome new families, reconnect with returning families, and celebrate our wonderful English Language Education community.
We had a fantastic turnout, with an amazing array of food from around the world! Families also had access to simultaneous interpretation in five languages.
The evening included a presentation about the English Language Education program, our goals for students, and the importance of partnering with families. New families also applauded returning families who came to help welcome them to our cosmopolitan community.
To wrap up the evening, families were invited to take home free books, generously provided through the Foundation for Belmont Education’s elementary library renewal project.

There’s nothing quite like the excitement of the first day of school! 📚✏️ At Winn Brook, educators greeted students with warm smiles, helping make the transition from home to school a little smoother for both students and parents. We’re so happy to have our students back and can’t wait to see all the learning, growth, and joy this new school year brings. Welcome back, BPS!
Today, we kicked off the new school year by welcoming back our returning staff and saying hello to the new faces joining the BPS community!
Superintendent Jill Geiser celebrated the district’s accomplishments and the collective work that has moved BPS forward, while sharing her excitement for the year ahead. School Committee Chair Meg Moriarty also greeted staff and offered her best wishes for a great school year!
Then, principals from PreK through gr 12 took the mic to share what makes their schools so special. While every school has its own unique spirit, one message rang loud and clear: It’s the people who make BPS special.
Together, we build our community! Here’s to an amazing year of learning, connection, and growth!

Today, the BHS Senior Project Exhibition transformed the Field House into a vibrant showcase of creativity, innovation, and learning. Peers, families, staff, and community members walked around the Field House exploring projects that reflected months of research, dedication, and passion from these students. Each project highlighted the unique voice, talents, and vision of our seniors, and it was inspiring to see their ideas brought to life. We are very proud of the Class of 2026 and look forward to all they will accomplish in the future.
Celebrating dedication and impact! 🎉
At Staff Recognition Day yesterday, Belmont Public Schools and the Belmont Education Association honored educators and staff with 10–30 years of service at a special luncheon, kicked off by a wonderful performance by the Clay Pit Crooners, BHS a cappella group. Thank you for the difference you make in our schools and in the lives of our students every day.
What a way to spend a Friday lunch at BHS! Thanks to Ms. Lacasse, BHS Band Director, we were treated to an incredible live performance by the U.S. Navy Band Cruisers. From cool horn lines to standout guitar, keyboards, drums, and powerhouse vocals, the energy was unforgettable!
Formed in 1999, the Navy’s premier popular music group brings together eight dynamic performers who can do it all — from jazz and R&B to classic rock, pop, and more. Their high-energy, fun-filled performance had staff and students fully engaged and loving every minute.
Thank you to our amazing school lunch heroes today and every day!
Congratulations to the Foundation for Belmont Education (FBE) Outstanding Teacher of the Year recipient Meghan Newcombe from our English Department. 🎉
When her students were asked what makes Ms. Newcombe truly outstanding, they didn’t just point to her love of Shakespeare, her knowledge of contemporary literature, or her mastery of grammar. Instead, they highlighted something even more meaningful—her patience, flexibility, kindness, and her ability to make learning genuinely fun.
Thank you, Ms. Newcombe, for the incredible impact you make every day!
Belmont students attended the METCO Directors Association’s annual Youth Conference at MIT yesterday, joining peers from 33 districts for a day of learning, connection, and inspiration. Centered on the theme “My Plan, My Purpose,” the conference brought together students in grades 9–12 for leadership development, college and career workshops, and networking opportunities. We’re proud of our students for representing Belmont and participating in this event!
