PLEASE HELP CONTINUE THE TRADITION: Will you be a chaperone at the BHS Post Graduation (all-night) Party?  Its tradition for the parents of underclassmen to chaperone the party for our graduating seniors.  We are looking for men to help with the sumo wrestling on all 3 shifts - shift 1 (10 pm - midnight on Sunday June 8), shift 2 (midnight - 3 am on Mon June 9), shift 3 (3am - 5am on Mon June 9) We also have a few spots avail for either men or women at other activities for shift 3.  You don't need to have a child in the high school, any adult that does not have a senior at the party is welcome.  This is a great way to "pay it forward."  Help us this year and when your child graduates, the parents of underclassmen will be there for you!  To volunteer, or if you have any questions, please contact Michele Shields at Michele_Shields@verizon.net or 781-270-5142.

Our Technology Advisory Committee has developed a short parent survey for parents. We would appreciate if parents took a few minutes to provide some feedback on our 1:1 Technology Initiative.  Here is the link to the survey.

BPD radKids Week
The Burlington Police Department will once again be offering the radKIDS 
program this summer to Burlington children ages 8-12. The kids will be in a 
fun and very active program that stresses safety awareness through role-play, 
self-defense and other activities. 
The Burlington Police will incorporate risk awareness skills (strangers,
public safety etc.) with radKIDS, a program that offers defense against 
abduction. The radKids portion of the class (defense against abduction) is a 
15-hour class to be integrated with safety awareness teachings. 
 Due to a generous grant from Lahey Clinic, classes will be free for all 
attending residents. Donations to the Burlington D.A.R.E. Program are 
appreciated. As per the radKIDS organization, each child thereafter will be 
able to re-attend the class on an unlimited basis for free. 
The course will be held at the Memorial Elementary School gymnasium
Monday – Friday (9am-12noon) July 14-28, July 21-25 and July 28-August
