We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and are enjoying the holiday season.

Please join us for our next PTO meeting which will be held at 7pm on Monday, December 9th in the BMS library. Superintendent Mike Mesorre will be joining us to discuss new policy changes regarding technology use and field trips, he will also give us a curriculum update. Please spread the word!

Tryouts for the Arts Alive production of High School Musical Junior were a huge success!

The cast is excited to start rehearsing. If your child is not in the show, but would still like to get in-volved there will be plenty of opportunities to help with the show. We will keep you posted.

The student variety show is scheduled for February. This is an exciting opportunity for all Barrington Middle School students to showcase their talents. More information to come.

There are many you can participate in the PTO, we have upcoming events and need many volunteers. *One Amazing Night Committee (chaired by Angelica Bazyk) *Variety Show committee (chaired by David Lauria) *Library volunteers *Arts Alive (chaired by Kirsten Davis)

If you are interested in these committees, or have any questions, please contact Carolyn Greeley ([email protected]), or Kirsten Davis ([email protected])

We have added a few new PTO members this month including teachers and administrators bringing our membership up to 227. We would love to see the number increase, if you have not joined yet, it's not to late! Your PTO membership helps support classroom enrichment.

Kidscope News and Notes - December 2013

What a frenzied time of year this is. Holiday season, preparing for and adjusting to winter, a new year, it can all be very overwhelming. For me, it helps to stop, take a deep breathe, and remember just how fortunate I am. Working with the students here at BMS is truly a gift. I get so much pleasure from seeing the enthusiasm so many of our students bring to school. Listening to the chatter about a new or an especially popular book is a special bonus I get from my job. At this time of year, many people ask for book recommends. Reading taste is so subjective; I am reluctant to suggest specific titles. The new “Diary of a Wimpy Kid Hard Luck” is out. You can also use the following websites for other ideas: Nancy Pearl’s Teen Reviews – http://www.nancypearl.com/?cat=63 ALA’s Awards and recommendations – http://www.ala.org/awardsgrants/awards/browse/rlist?showfilter=no Top 100 Middle School Must-Reads – http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1606.Top_100_Middle_School_Must_Reads

Please continue to support our Box Tops program. Although the count is not in, judging from the number of coupons I see going into the collection box, we are well on the way to a record breaking year. A simple snip snip of the coupon on your grocery packaging is worth ten cents. With just ten coupons, we earn one dollar. You can see how quickly that amount can grow. Please remember to send in as many coupons as possible and please include your student/s’ cluster and homeroom. I wish all of you a joyous holiday and the very best in the coming year. . - Mrs. Nancy Maddocks BMS Library Media Specialist [email protected]

Barrington Community School & the BAY Team ( Barrington Adult‐Youth) are offer‐

ing another great way to spend your day off from school!

MOUNT SNOW SKI and SNOWBOARD trip!

Monday, February 10, a Professional Day in Barrington Public Schools! Enjoy an exciting day of New England skiing or snow‐boarding on the beautifully groomed slopes of one of the best‐rated ski and snow‐board resorts in the area. Families, single adults and students are all welcome on this In‐Service Day outing to West Dover, Vermont. Unaccompanied students* are welcome, but must have written parental permission to attend. Permission slips will be mailed home with trip confir‐mation letters and must be brought to the motor coach, signed by parent or guardian. Early morning departure from Barrington; depart ski area at 4:30 P.M. and return to Barrington approximately 9:00. Participants may bring lunch or purchase food at the mountain. Optional group ski lessons are available; call BCS if interested. The DEADLINE to register is Wednesday, February 5– no exceptions! Take advantage of our great day‐trip pricing – less than the cost of a full‐day lift ticket if you traveled to Mt. Snow on your own! FEE: $75. Fee includes round‐trip motor coach transportation, full‐day lift ticket and New England Action Sports’ adult escort. Individuals wishing to take a 2‐hour morn‐ing group lesson should call BCS for prices. Those wishing to ride the bus only and not ski are welcome to join us for $40 per person. *Students younger than 12 are welcome on all day trips, but must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult.
