Good Afternoon Students, Parents, and Community Members:
This week we held our annual Toy Drive. We appreciate everyone’s generosity as we raised over $5,600. With everyone’s donation, we were able to purchase gifts for countless families within the Bristol County community. We would like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday break.
Dear Teacher/Dear Student: During Freshman Academy this year, the freshman class composed a slideshow (our students did the voice over titled “Dear Teacher” for our staff (the slideshow itself is from the internet, but our students provided the voice over). In the slideshow, it discusses the challenges that so many students face on a day to day basis, which ultimately impacts their learning experience. Our staff was appreciative of the message and thus wanted to repay the favor. Many staff members led by Mrs. Coderre created a message to the students called “Dear Student”. Click the links below to see and hear the presentations. NOTE: You will have to download the video in order to watch it.

Congratulations!
Throughout this past year our Small Animal majors have groomed hundreds of dogs. A few that they do groom need special attention since they are show dogs. Milo, one of Ms. Blanchette’s English Cocker Spaniels is one of those dogs. Our students have learned the simple differences they can provide that can make a dog like Milo excel in the ring. Last week Ms. Blanchette and Milo competed in the National Owner Handler Finals. The top 10 owner handled dogs from each breed were invited to the National Dog Show in Orlando on December 14, 2019 to vie for the title of Best in Show. The National Dog Show brought over 4800 dogs to Orlando, of those 791 dogs competed in the Owner Handler Finals which marks the highest entry in the competition’s history. After intense competition Milo won the top spot for his breed, winning Best of Breed for the top 10 owner handled English Cocker Spaniels in the country.
A special thank you goes out to all the Small Animal students who have worked hard this year preparing Milo. They have worked so diligently on his grooming and socializing to make him successful in the show ring.

Ski Club:
Dear Parents,
As part of our effort to provide additional extracurricular activities for your child, we have scheduled a ski trip to Gunstock Mountain in Gilford, NH on Friday, January 31st. Please see the enclosed information pertaining to costs.
The goal of the trip is to provide the skiing/snowboarding experience for any child that may have an interest. We are welcoming skiers and snowboarders of all levels to join us on our trip.
New or inexperienced skier/snowboarder must take the lesson offered by the ski school. There is no additional charge for these lessons, however learning the proper techniques involved in this sport will diminish the risk of injury. The goal is to have fun while staying safe.
The trip will leave from school at 12:00pm and return around 11:30 pm. PARENTS MUST PICK UP THEIR CHILDREN AT BRISTOL AGGIE AT THAT TIME. All equipment and proper clothing should be brought to the school that morning.
It is the student’s responsibility to maintain eligibility for this trip. They must follow the skier/snowboarder responsibility code developed by Gunstock, and may forfeit their lift pass if they do not.
Forms must be completed and returned to me by January 15th. There are limited amounts of seats, so it will be a first come first serve basis. Permission slips and forms are available from Mr. Surdi, the Main Office and will be emailed to students.
If you have any questions about this activity you may contact via email at gsurdi@bcahs.com
Sincerely,
Gregg Surdi
