This week our freshman students were able to select and get placed in their voags. This is an exciting time for many students. For the students who did not get their top pick, we ask that you keep an open mind and try it out. There will be an opportunity in the fall for you to try and switch majors.

Teacher Appreciation Week- May 4th-May 8th:
Teacher Appreciation Week- May 4th-May 8th: We are fortunate to be a part of such an amazing
teaching staff at Bristol Aggie. Above and beyond is the status quo. Teachers change the lives of children every day—their immense work and impact moves us beyond words. And with the abrupt end to the physical school year, our teachers have done even more to continue education with virtual classrooms and learning at home lessons. All to ensure every student has the tools they need to reach their full potential. (National PTA)

In the Classroom:
- Mrs. Coderre’s Class: Touchstone Texts
In literature, a touchstone is a book that we hold dear because it somehow adds value to our life. It could be a book that makes us laugh, makes us cry or makes us think. It could be a book from youth that has influenced us in some way or it could be a book that sits on the shelf ready to be read again and again. Recently the students in Mrs. Coderre’s Junior Honors English class were asked to share their touchstone texts. The list is as varied as the students that make up this class. We would like to share our list with you in the hopes that you can find joy and meaning in these books much as we have. Enjoy the read:

- Look Me in The Eye ~ John Elder Robinson
- The Boy in The Striped Pajamas ~ John Boyne
- Howl’s Moving Castle ~ Diane Wynne Jones
- Dumplin’ ~ Julie Murphy
- The Outsiders ~ S.E. Hinton
- Corrie Ten Bloom ~ Janet and Geoff Benge
- The Boy in The Striped Pajamas ~ John Boyne
