STEM Week at Fox Hill

In an effort to boost students’ interest and raise awareness of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education, the Massachusetts Governor's Office declared a statewide STEM Week from October 22-26, 2018, asking educators at all grade levels to participate by planning lessons, events, and activities focused on science, technology, engineering, and math throughout the week.

Burlington Public Schools adhered to the governor's call, and accordingly, STEM Week was announced at Fox Hill School. Room 9 kids visited the Learning Commons twice this week to program, build, learn, and share their science, technology, engineering, and math knowledge. Here are the kids, along with Mrs. Nolte's students, enjoying STEM Week activities.

Today's Beekeeping Program

This morning, Ms. Pavlicek, from the Burlington Science Center, presented a Beekeeping Program to our Grade 4 scientists. Ms. Pavlicek was very impressed with the kids' knowledge of bees, pollination, and pollinators! Her program included a slide presentation, discussion about bees, and Ms. Pavlicek's role as a beekeeper. We then went outside to observe Ms. Pavlicek in her beekeeper's garb. Enjoy the photos from today's program. Thank you, Ms. Pavlicek, for your excellent program this morning!

Thank you, PTO, for organizing this year's Fun Run! During the past nine days, Fox Hill students learned character traits that will help strengthen them and our world, including citizenship, growth mindset, zest, integrity, and teamwork.

Friday, October 12, is Red Sox Day at Fox Hill!

Tomorrow, October 12, is Boston Red Sox Day at Fox Hill. It’s been an exciting season so far, but the Sox' work is not yet done. Saturday night, they open a best of seven game series against the Houston Astros in the American League Championship Series.

If you have any Red Sox attire, or anything red (shirts, shorts, sweats, hats, sneakers) ~ and you choose to, why not wear them to school tomorrow to celebrate the Red Sox success so far this season!
