Dear Parents and Guardians,

The school year is quickly coming to an end and while you might think things are winding down here at Bromfield, there is still a lot to come in the next two weeks.

We were all pleased that the weather held out last Friday and we were able to hold graduation outside. The setting was beautiful; the speakers did an excellent job of capturing the spirit of the Class of 2009 and it was wonderful community event. We are so proud of our graduates!

On Monday the eighth grade enjoyed their annual trip to the Six Flags Amusement Park. Their chaperones were especially impressed with students’ cooperation and demonstration of responsibility on this trip. The Iced Coffee House was last Tuesday and it was another successful evening showcasing the diverse talents of our faculty and student body. The seventh grade seminar took place on Wednesday and by all reports it was a valuable experience for everyone who attended.

This evening the annual Firefly Dance for ninth and tenth graders will be taking place in the Bromfield courtyard. While we hope the weather holds out so they can enjoy what is usually a pleasant spring evening under the stars, the dance will be held rain or shine.

On the agenda for the next two weeks:

• Monday is the seventh grade trip to Cranes Beach
• Wednesday the ninth graders head down to Washington D.C.
• Monday June 22 is the sixth grade trip to Canobie Lake Park.

Next week is the last full week of classes. Remember that on the last week of school, every day is an early release day, with students being dismissed at 12:05 each day. Students in grades 8-11 will be taking final exams on these days and there will be no lunch served.

Sincerely,

James F. O'Shea
Principal
