Our Early Childhood program recently had the wonderful opportunity to budget, shop, and prepare 70 Christmas bags for our community's assisted living and nursing homes. It was such a joy to see the students' smiles as they participated in this meaningful project.
We learned so many valuable lessons through this experience, and now we're gearing up to prepare our Discovery School students for Christmas carols. We're excited to practice a few songs to sing while delivering the gifts next month. Stay tuned!
Exciting times in Mr. Ginn’s Automotive exploratory class . Our 8th graders are learning the ins and outs of an oil filter wrench. Hands-on lessons like these not only build essential skills but also ignite a passion for automotive care.

Thank you to all the teachers who took time out of their day to make our students smile!

I wanted to share some exciting news from our school, SCRTC, on Friday, September 27th.
A camera crew from the Boston Globe came to our school to film our Monster Finalist, Mrs. Remington, and her students. They collaborated with Mrs. Cole at the elementary school for a fun morning activity. While there, they read the book "I Am So Mad" by Jamilia Tyler. After reading the book, the students made snake bubbles that required them to focus on their breathing. The children were then able to scoop up the bubbles in their hands and take some more deep breaths to calm their bodies.
After leaving the elementary school, we had some alumni stop in and share stories on where their paths have taken them since leaving SCRTC. They joined the fun with the Boston Globe camera crew, and so many special memories were made.
We can't thank Wasabi, The Boston Globe, and Fenway Sports Management enough for making this opportunity possible. It was a truly memorable day for our school community.
Mr. James and his students have been working hard to complete the Observation Room for the ECE program and it looks amazing!
Chef Eagan's Culinary Program has started a unique and tasty growing of a variety of mushrooms. You will note the harvested mushrooms that they have used in a number of dishes.
Mushroom types are: Reishi, Italian Oyster, Blue Oyster and Pink Oyster.
On September 24th our Early Childhood Education program participated in a full day CPR/First Aid certification training. Thank you Dwayne Philbrooke for always putting on such a meaningful training for our students.
