Across our elementary and upper elementary schools, Moving Up and Clap Out celebrations took place—marking an exciting milestone for our amazing 3rd grade students as they get ready for upper elementary! At Winn Brook, parents and students gave a big round of applause—complete with cowbells and pom-pom waves—as 3rd graders paraded around the school. Wellington welcomed families indoors for a video presentation, then continued the celebration outside with a festive reception. At Butler, 3rd grade students were cheered on with the message to Dream Big!, while Burbank 3rd graders performed Count on Me to close out their elementary journey. The CUE celebrated its 6th grade class with a special ceremony and wrapped up with a spirited Clap Out. Congratulations to all our rising 4th and 7th graders! Enjoy the summer!

Last Friday, BMHS, Wellington, and Winn Brook came together to hold stirring Memorial Day Assemblies in tribute to our local veterans and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. At the high school, the marching band and student singers delivered heartfelt performances of patriotic songs, including a moving rendition of Taps. Veterans introduced themselves, shared which branch of the military they served in, and were warmly welcomed with applause, gratitude, and appreciation for their service. At the elementary schools, excitement filled the air as students greeted our veterans with cheers and fist pumps. Students banged drums as veterans walked in, performed patriotic readings, sang the Armed Forces Medley, turning the assemblies into joyful, meaningful celebrations of service and remembrance.
