As we move into the second half of our school year, we are quickly coming closer to the CAPT testing in March.  Throughout the year, 9^th and 10^th grade students have been practicing for the CAPT in all of their core subject area classes, and should feel ready for the test.  It is important to stress to your student the importance of the CAPT, and that their effort and concentration will play a critical role in their success on the assessment.  In February, I will be visiting with all of our 10^th grade students to reinforce this message as well.

 

Since the New Year, there have been a number of successful events here at the high school honoring the high achievement of our students.  The National Honor Society inducted eleven students on January 11^th, and the Poetry Out loud Competition was a great success, with 12 contestants competing for the honor of representing our school in the state competition.  In addition, our sports teams have provided the school with some highly competitive contests.  I encourage everyone to come out and support our athletes, our boys and girls basketball teams are both competing for state tournament berths and our wrestling team is currently on a three match winning streak.  The indoor track team is completing a highly successful season with a strong showing at the NCCC championships, and our boy’s hockey team has been doing very well against some of the top teams in the state.  Last but not least, our cheerleaders have been showing great skill in their performances at the games.  It should be an exciting winter season for the Panthers!

 

A few reminders about upcoming events:

 

On February 13^th (snow date of February 15^th) at 6:30p.m., we will hold a 8^th Grade Program of Studies night for students currently in 8^th grade.  A presentation will take place in the auditorium, with an activity fair to follow, highlighting opportunities to learn about courses and activities that the Class of 2016 will have available once they begin their high school years.

 

February 28^th brings an enjoyable evening for all with the East Windsor Pops Concert (formerly known as the All Town Music Festival).  Bands from all three schools will perform in the high school’s gymnasium.  This concert will be preceded by a pasta dinner fundraiser served by the East Windsor High School band.  Funds raised from this event will assist the band, chorus and color guard students in going to a music festival this April in Virginia Beach.  A snow date for this event has been set for February 29^th.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  I hope that we can work together to make this a successful school year for your child.

 

Thank you,

Ted Keleher
