At today's Gateway Honors Assembly and Thanksgiving Celebration, our sophomores honored our senior students who have submitted early college applications, by presenting them with good-luck gifts consisting of handmade college pennants and smiley-face stress balls.
I am especially grateful to our cheerful crew of sophomores who crafted the pennants with great care and creativity - all 34 of them! Don't they look amazing?
On November 18, Mrs. Drurey's Chemistry Honors class participated in a daylong visit by scientists from Beyond Benign, a green chemistry education nonprofit based in Wilmington, MA. Our Gateway 10th grade students undertook an experiment in which they built small solar cells sensitized by the dye of blackberry juice. And they worked (albeit on a small scale)!
Thank you to Mrs. Drurey and the staff of Beyond Benign for providing our students with such a cool laboratory experience!
