This week we returned from April break for the home stretch. With only approximately 8 weeks left of school, and only 5 weeks left for seniors, the end of the year is quickly approaching. We encourage our students to remain focused and finish the year strong!
Student Assembly: On Wednesday, we will have former Boston Celtics player Chris Herren speak to all our students at 12:30. Mr. Herren has a great story about battling addiction and has visited Bristol Aggie in the past. We look forward to his presentation. See poster for more details.
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.

Dighton students help rebuild rabbit population- For some seniors at Bristol County Agricultural High School, every day is Earth Day. Click here for the full story from Channel ABC6
DIGHTON, Mass. (WLNE) -- For some seniors at Bristol County Agricultural High School, every day is Earth Day.
"I mean how many other schools can be like oh I helped with the cottontail population," said Isabella Bartlett.
These 17- and 18-year-olds are tasked with the very adult responsibility of helping Massachusetts Fish and Wildlife bring back the New England cottontail rabbit.
"They caught the rabbits for us and then they delivered them here," said Mia Slater.
Natural resource management students spend their days out in the woods gathering food for the rabbits, then head inside to feed the 13 cottontails, keep their space clean and collect data.
"This is really good for me because I can say I have the experience of working with the cottontail," said Mellany Munroe.
Soon, the rabbits will be released onto an island off Martha's Vineyard to start a brand new colony.
"With hopes that they can reproduce on their own and help get their population up again," said Merissa Silva Robertson.
For Brian Bastarache, chair of Bristol Aggie's Resource Management Department.
"If we talk about it just in the classroom, then it becomes trivial, //as opposed to giving them the opportunity to apply what they've learned on a real-world challenge," said Bastarache.
The hope is to inspire other students and adults to do their part to create a better world.
"I think one thing you can take away from this is that anyone can make a difference. We're all just high school seniors and we're making a difference," said Andrew Flory.
The rabbits are almost ready to be taken to their new home. In May they'll be transported to Noman's Island. On the island, their population will be monitored by GPS, and once their numbers are high enough, they will be taken to new habitats all across Massachusetts.

ELA:
Students in Mrs. Coderre's Senior English Class prepare for their debate based on Henry David Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience." Thoreau was sent to prison for not paying a poll tax to a government that was engaged in a war that he did not believe in. In the debate, students will argue whether this makes Thoreau a patriot or a traitor.
In the end, it seems our teams are pretty divided about whether Thoreau was a patriot or a traitor.
What we learned by our experiment:
“Thoreau was remembered for many things, but most importantly for his patriotic spirit. His unwavering ambition for the pursuit of fulfillment makes him a beacon for those who are lost. Belief in oneself and the path of success through self-discovery play a role in Thoreau’s journey. As a patriot is defined, . ‘anyone that is prepared to defend against enemies.’ Thoreau preaches the truth of an unjust government and opens the option of self-made success. A true patriot must first be a patriot to himself.”

Junior Students! SAT & ACT Information
The last administration date of the SAT for this school year is coming up fast! Next Friday, May 3 is the regular registration deadline for the June 1, 2019 SAT test date. In addition, the ACT only has two more test dates available for this school year. See the pictures below for the test dates and registration deadlines. There is the possibility to sign up after the regular registration deadlines but it will incur a late fee. We always recommend junior students take the May or June SAT test so that if they need to take the test again for college admissions they have that opportunity in August. If students are looking to apply for early admissions at colleges, they will need finalized scores by November and December for their application packages.
Registration is simple and can be done on each of their websites. For both the ACT and SAT tests you will need the following to register:
