Bristol County Agricultural High School: Aggie Weekly-March 15th

Aggie Weekly

Good Afternoon Students, Parents, and Community Members: Please click here for the Aggie Weekly

We hope all fared well in the storm the last couple of days. Unfortunately it does not look like we will get much of a break next week, with another storm coming on Tuesday night. Let’s cross our fingers for some rain! As of now we have had four snow days, and our last day of school is Monday, June 25th.

Next Phase for Seniors: We are proud to share with you our senior’s plans for their next step in their college and career exploration. Based on the knowledge and skills, learned during their 4 years at BA, we are excited to publish acceptances into colleges, universities, military plans, and any career pathways each week. Please let Ms. Dias know in Student Services, so we can update our list weekly. Thank you for your dedication to excellence and drive to maintain Bristol Aggie Excellence.

In the Classroom:

ELA: Freshman in Mrs. Noel’s English classes have been very hard at work this week. They have been mastering crucial skills from Massachusetts English Language Arts Standards, specifically » Reading: Informational Text. These are part of the Common Core skills that develop college and career readiness. In particular,students have been reading non-fiction articles (a.k.a “informational text”) and current events magazines; their focused task has been to pull out key ideas and details, make inferences, determine main ideas, and provide objective summaries of the text. These are techniques that require practice to master and serve as a building block to strong comprehension and adept ability to respond to writing prompts! Keep up the great work freshman students!

Arbor: After this week’s storm, there was plenty to clean up. Mr. Cook and the sophomore Arbor students learned how to chip brush.

PE: Today students from Animal Science and NRM were battling in Badmitton.

FFA State Convention: Even though we cancelled school on Wednesday, our FFA students still came to school to catch the bus to Sturbridge, MA for the FFA State Convention.
