In the Classroom-SLOWTOOLS
Over the last few years, Bristol Aggie students (predominantly Agricultural Mechanics students) have been working with the Slow Tools organization. Their mission is:
Our missions include the need to provide nutritious food and soil, clean water and energy, environmental and human health, and cultural democracy and security. We believe these goals are best achieved locally, changing as needed to adapt to people's basic local needs.
We began 10 years ago as a movement among farmers, designers, and engineers to identify, design and make tools for the small farm community.
Farming and food are the essential source of renewable human energy and health. This mission is a fundamental cornerstone of our efforts.
Their goals are the following:
To promote and fund the sustainable and local manufacture of tools.
To promote design engineering education in villages and neighborhoods.
To enable sustainable and regenerative practices through design and education.
To help achieve environmental and financial sustainability through innovation.
To create a global cooperative for the sharing of tool designs.
We have been fortunate with the opportunity to participate in some of this incredible work that will help local farmers remain sustainable. Click here for their website and see more photos from our students.

Weekly mental health tips from calm.com
Do a chore you normally dislike, doing it with extra love and attention.
Write down three qualities that you like about yourself.
Decide how long you want to spend online today and then set a timer. Stop when your timer goes off. Remember that you are in charge of your free time.
Ask yourself, “what can I do less of today?”
Forgive yourself for a mistake you made. Mistakes are a natural part of life. It’s what we do next that matters most.

Senior Photos: Below is a copy of the email that was sent out to seniors earlier this year.
Hello Seniors!
It's time to start thinking about senior photos! All senior photos and baby pictures are due by November 24, 2021. That is the last day of school before Thanksgiving! Please email all photos to me at kreilly@bcahs.com. Only digital copies of photos will be accepted.
Some guidelines:
All photos must be school appropriate and meet the standards laid out in the student handbook.
Be as creative as you would like. It doesn't need to be a posed portrait taken by a professional photographer. You can send in a candid shot taken on your phone. You are welcome to include pets, cars, etc.
Make sure that your photo is in portrait, not landscape, orientation. If you send me a photo in landscape, it will be cropped to fit in the portrait templates in the yearbook.
Make sure to leave a little extra space around the edges of the photo so that it can be cropped if necessary.
If you have any questions or concerns about your photos, please let Ms. Reilly know as soon as possible.
