Girl Scout Week: Girl Scout Week is the week of March
8 and begins with Girl Scout Sunday being recognized in area
churches. We are in need of someone from each church to ar-
range for the girls in their church to be recognized and to serve
perhaps as greeters or participants in the service that day. At
Holy Family Church we are in need of at least 15 girls to partici-
pate in the 8:30 a.m. Mass. Please contact Joan Riser if you can
co-ordinate this event at your church or if your daughter wishes
to participate at Holy Family.
New Daisy Troop: We want to welcome our new Daisy
Troop for girls in kindergarten! The good news is that there is
still room for a few more girls. The Daisy program now runs for
two years, right through first grade, so your daughter will have
plenty of time to complete the Petal program and to begin work-
ing in the new Journey program. By joining now you are assured
of troop placement in the fall and can take part in our Service
Unit activities this spring. Please call Rosemary Tufankjian at
781-934-9754 for more information or to sign up. The troop will
be meeting the second and fourth Thursday of the month at the
Girl Scout House.
Troop Happenings: Members of Cadette Troop 80331 and
Junior Troop 80437 traveled to E. Madison, NH a week ago for
a day of skiing at King Pine. The weather was perfect: cold, with
bright blue skies as the non-skiers headed for their lessons, and
the skiers joined the chaperones to head up the chair lift. Once
the lessons were over the Cadettes joined instructor Tricia Ja-
cobson who reviewed safety on the slopes, equipment they were
using and told them about her position as an instructor, to cover
some of the requirements for the Sports For Life Interest Proj-
ect. After lunch and a few practice runs down the Bunny Slope,
the former non-skiers headed up the mountain on the chair lift
accompanied by their chaperones and more experienced troop
members. It wasn’t long before they were all skiing confidently
down from the top of King Pine and thoroughly enjoying their
newly acquired skills!

it started.”

School Committee By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor

After the split vote flipping the start times of the Alden

lic.
Maureen Connolly, who voted no, was visibly angry when
explaining her decision.

only possible negative for the younger students, therefore he
had to vote for the change.

Grant highlight: 5th GRADE WRITING INITIATIVE –
NEO 2 (Alphasmarts) This grant provides funds for the initial
purchase of three NEO 2 carts (with 30 NEO’s on each cart), to
be shared by all fifth grade teachers and their students. Designed
specifically for classroom use, the NEO 2’s provide students
with independent writing support through the use of hundreds
of built-in writing lessons that can jump start students’ imagina-
tions and fuel their writing. Having NEO’s in the classroom
will create a one-on-one environment where students can con-
tinue to develop their writing skills while at the same time help
them with communication, collaboration, and critical thinking,
all identified as important skills for the 21st century.

trombone; Senior Eric Yanulis, french horn; Junior Alex Kosharek, clarinet. These students auditioned
and were selected to participate in the 2009 Massachusetts All State Concert in March. They will spend
three days in Boston rehearsing and performing in a concert at Boston Symphony Hall with the best high
school musicians in Massachusetts. The Duxbury Middle School Green Band has been selected
by a concert committee to be a featured performance group at
the 2009 Massachusetts All-State Conference at the Seaport Ho-
tel in Boston. The band was chosen through taped audition, and
was selected based on the high quality of a recording they made
in December. This invitation is a HUGE honor. This is the sec-
ond time a Duxbury Middle School performing group has been
selected. The band will be performing for music educators from
Massachusetts, and they will be representing what the commit-
tee regards as the best middle school band in the state. An anal-
ogy that best describes this opportunity is that if we were play-
ing football, this would be our Super Bowl! The students will
perform on Thursday, March 26 for over 500 music educators.
