“The Lone Bagpiper” by Mrs. Coderre 

When the students have all gone their way

And the halls empty of boisterous sound

When silence falls on the passing day

And little motion can be found

If you listen very gently

You might be blessed to hear

The lilting lovely notes of the lone bagpiper

Over the fields and up to the knoll way

The music echoes loud and clear

When evening dusk meets the summer day 

And evening shadows fall near

If you listen very gently

You might be blessed to hear

The lilting lovely notes of the lone bagpiper

Aggie Weekly-June 8th

Good Afternoon Students, Parents, and Community Members:

     On Thursday, our nation celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Normandy Invasion during World War II. This invasion was a critical turning point in the war to mount an assault against Hitler and the Axis forces. Over 6,000 landing crafts, ships, and naval vessels transported troops to Normandy beach, while 13,000 aircrafts would provide air support. Even though we were able to secure Normandy beach which led to us winning the war, the Allied troops lost over 4,400 troops in one day. By comparison, since our students have been alive, the War against Terrorism, has been ongoing since 2001 and we have lost approximately 8,000 troops since then. On Thursday, we observed this sacrifice with a moment of silence.

     As we enter our last few weeks of school, we would like to remind our school community that our last day of school is Thursday, June 20th. Please see our final exam schedule below.

BCAHS Equine Drill Team

A few weeks ago the Equine Drill Team performed for the school before Field Day. Two groups of five riders put on two great shows. This team practices three days a week, getting to school at 6:30 in the morning. The students and horses put a lot of work getting into shape for this spring performance. The first group consisted of Freshmen: Makayla Dupe, Sophomore: Hannah Surdis, and Juniors: Arianna Lachance, Kiley Rose, and Emily Lynch -- check out their performance. The second group consisted of Junior: Emma Darling and Seniors: Rabekah Quartochi, Meg Sherman, Michaela Totman, and Emma Palermo -- check out their performance.

An Equestrian Drill Team is a group of horses and riders performing choreographed moves to music. The rides should be controlled and display great uniformity. Drill teams put together performances to please crowds, show the riders sportsmanship, horsemanship, teamwork, and most of all demonstrate their dedication. The hard work and dedication of these students truly shows in their performances.




NRM Underway Day: On Thursday, was NRM’s annual Underway Day on the Taunton River with the MA Environmental Police. The EPOs do this every year after the NRM juniors complete the MA Boating Safety course and exam. All of the students passed again this year.

THE TEEN SUMMER CHALLENGE IS ON!

PLANET FITNESS KICKS-OFF SUMMER-LONG INITIATIVE WITH ACTOR CALEB MCLAUGHLIN

Starting Today, Teenagers Ages 15 – 18 Can Sign up to Work Out for Free at all 1,800+ Planet Fitness Locations through September 1

Caleb McLaughlin Strives to be Every Teen's "Super Positive Workout Buddy" Leading the Digital Campaign

Planet Fitness, Inc., one of the largest and fastest-growing franchisors and operators of fitness centers in the U.S. and home of the Judgement Free Zone®, officially opens the doors of its more than 1,800 locations throughout the United States and Canada today as it kicks off the Teen Summer Challenge. Now through September 1, teenagers ages 15 – 18* are invited to stop by their nearest Planet Fitness and sign-up to work out – and get their sweat on – for free all summer long. Teens under 18 must be accompanied in club by a parent or guardian at sign-up.

The initiative, which answers the call for youth to pursue a minimum of 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each day** as recommended by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, is led by one of Hollywood's most exciting stars, 17-year-old actor Caleb McLaughlin. McLaughlin stars as a "super positive workout buddy" in digital creative for the initiative, offering encouragement for every teen looking to stay active when school is out for the summer.

"Being part of the Planet Fitness Teen Summer Challenge is really important to me because it's offering teens so much more than just a place to work out over the summer, it's giving us all the opportunity to be active, build self-confidence and self-esteem in the process," said McLaughlin.

FEELINGS ON FITNESS: BY THE NUMBERS

A national study*** commissioned by Planet Fitness found that teens today are more fitness-conscious than ever before, with 92 percent agreeing that one is never too young to start taking care of his or her health. Many teens confirm fitness helps them feel motivated (55 percent), is fun (48 percent), and is a way to feel challenged (32 percent). While school-based sports such as gym class or intramural teams are the top ways teens currently get their daily exercise (49 percent), nearly half of all teens (41 percent) report that their fitness levels dramatically decrease over the summer when school is out.

Moreover, one-third (33 percent) of all teens simply don't know where to begin or what exercises are recommended for their age group, and almost two-in-five (39 percent) say they don't have enough guidance on how to properly exercise.

GUIDING TEENS TO A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE

That's why, to help teens kick start their summer fitness regimen, Brian Zehetner, director of health and fitness for Planet Fitness, developed a fun and effective workout specifically for teens this summer. The full body workout program is purposefully centered on appropriate cardio, strength and flexibility exercises for teenagers, providing a balanced blend for impactful activity. Active warm up and cool down periods comprised of dynamic and static stretches help ensure teens ease in and out of the core routine responsibly for greater mobility and less potential for injury.



"Our total body workout designed for teens is a fun and effective introduction to fitness, setting the stage for lifelong healthy habits, as it's designed to really target all major muscle groups efficiently, effectively and with the flexibility, mobility and busy schedules of high school students in mind," said Zehetner. "The best routine is a consistent routine, and we want this plan coupled with Planet Fitness' pressure-free environment to help youth feel excited about approachable exercise."

Free fitness classes specifically for teenagers will also be available Monday through Friday via certified fitness trainers at all Planet Fitness locations. Check your local Planet Fitness for exact times.

INCENTIVES FOR TEENS TO STAY ACTIVE THIS SUMMER

Finally, all teens who sign up beginning May 15 are automatically entered into Planet Fitness' Scholarship Sweepstakes. At the end of summer, 51 lucky teens across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., will be randomly selected to receive a $500 scholarship, and one teen will receive a $5,000 grand prize****. Teens will also have the chance to win exciting prizes on Planet Fitness' Twitter and Instagram channels throughout the summer, such as club swag, movie tickets and wireless headphones.*****

In addition to opening its doors to all teens ages 15 – 18 all summer long, Planet Fitness also offers extremely low prices for parents and other members alike, including a variety of benefits such as a hassle-free environment, brand name cardio and strength equipment, fully equipped locker rooms, flat screen televisions and much more.
