We have 10 days to go! Let's make them count! In just five days, we will say good-bye to our awesome senior class! 

A friendly reminder to please complete the Parent Satisfaction Survey. The participation rate is lower this year than it has been and we really would like to hear from you. We have extended the time to complete the survey through Friday, June 14, 2019. Thank you in advance for completing the survey.

Also, we are hearing from families that they would like the opportunity to improve the rating of our schools. These two sites seem to be the most popular. Thank you in advance and we appreciate your support.

AP exams for the 2019 school year were completed last Thursday. 103 students took 190 exams in 12 subjects over 11 days - what an incredible achievement!! We're excited to get the results in July!

Congratulations to the middle school band and chorus for both bringing home the Superior award at last week’s Trills and Thrills festival!

It is time to complete the annual Parent Satisfaction Survey. It will be open through Wednesday, June 5, 2019. Thank you in advance for completing the survey. Your voice matters. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VW5QTR5

The ASRHS Drama Club will be hosting their 3rd annual tag sale fundraiser this weekend, on Saturday, May 25, from 9:00am-4:00pm at the high school.  We hope that you can come out and support the Drama Club.

From Athletic Director, Steve Kendall,

A big thank you to everyone for their support of Unified Track. Yesterday's Central Massachusetts meet went amazingly well. There were numerous PRs by our student-athletes, we won a number of events, and all the kids were talking and making friends with kids from other schools. Assabet Valley was a tremendous host (and their turf field and track facility is amazing).

I cannot thank Paula Gastonguay, Matt Lehtonen, Kevin Hadmack, Meghan Guthrie, Hannah Levensailor, and Nate Diffin enough for their dedication to the kids and the program. Thanks to Dr. Malone, Mr. Caliri, Mrs. Bozek, Mr. Christie and Dr. Meyer for their unwavering support as well.Leominster AD Dave Palazzi was a big supporter as well, and we thank him and Kevin for their efforts for getting unified going at their school as well. Kevin did yeoman work, not only organizing things on Leominster's end but also driving the kids to and from practice and meets. Thank you, Kevin! We don't have the program we have without your efforts! As a graduate of Leominster, I appreciate all you and Dave did to help get this program off the ground and for bringing the world of unified sports to the students of Leominster High.

We will know in the coming days which student-athletes will qualify for the state meet in Milford next week. Regardless of how many qualify, everyone should be proud of the role they played in bringing unified sports to Ayer Shirley and Leominster. Let's keep growing this program!

Thanks to all!
