World Celebration Day offered our school community a special opportunity to explore international traditions, music, art, cuisine, and customs. It was a joyful way to spark curiosity and celebrate the unique identities that make up our global family.

Designed to engage students with their vocabulary words, what could’ve been a simple memorization exercise instead becomes a thought-provoking journey which inspires the student to dream big and encourages peer discussion. These fascinating projects are windows into the world of the child, allowing their boundless imagination and curiosity to flourish while keeping the focus on retaining key basic Spanish language skills which will provide the foundation for years of future learning as they continue their academic journey.

Pre-K students have been learning about migratory species, and Mrs. White thought there would be no better way to help them understand the complex ecological process than for the students to become ‘migratory animals’ themselves. This year's 'migrators' left their mark on the Dining Hall with a creative idea that will solve problems for Pre-K students for years to come.

The Grade 4 Shoredecott Expo is a unique project paying homage to the Caldecott children’s book awards and is widely recognized as one of the annual highlights of Shore’s library program. Parallel to the real Caldecott awards, students immerse themselves in the rigorous process of reviewing, voting, and ultimately selecting their favorite children’s book of the year from a field of numerous books. Students read a set number of books, and then work together with their peers to determine finalists and vote.

The Shore Green Team’s extravagant Textile Fashion Show was a wonderful success! This fun event, which featured many Shore faculty and staff donning ridiculous garments, had a palpable deeper meaning, and the Green Team was able to engage the audience with humor that aided in getting the real point across.

Nibi the beaver, the same furry friend for whom Massachusetts governor Maura Healey personally issued a permit to extend the animal’s tenure at Newhouse Wildlife Rescue, came to visit campus and was a huge hit with the students. Shore was lucky to be one of the first stops on Nibi’s journey, which will include educational trips to schools around the state to increase public awareness of the many dangers facing native species local to Massachusetts.

They say Latin is a dead language, but in the Shore Latin classroom, the characters in textbooks are brought to life. Lucia, Grumio, Quintus, Caecilius — these are not mere names; they are personalities, celebrities, even friends.

Cheerful, chirpy, and chock-full of jokes, this year’s mainstage musical, a comedy by British composer George Stiles and writer Anthony Drewe, was a delight for audiences of all ages. Complete with classic themes, incredible props and costumes, and a colorful cast of characters, this year’s production truly had it all, and Shore’s cast and crew brought the magic to life.

A thrilling defeat at SquashBusters yesterday! We won multiple games but were ultimately unable to take the majority of matches. Several battles saw Shore players push their opponents to the third game to decide the contest. Overall, our serving, control of the T, and agility was much improved. In addition, Shore athletes were challenged to play a bigger role in reffing and scoring the games, and they handled the disagreements and uncertainties of full-speed points with patience.  A big thank you to SquashBusters to host us in their beautiful Lawrence facility. We will be hungry for a rematch next season!

At Shore, we love to find creative ways to maximize learning. Sixth grade students recently enjoyed three hands-on learning opportunities exploring the life of a loaf of bread—from making bread to learning from alumni and gaining an understanding of business operations at a professional bakery, to working in service for their community. These learning experiences were made possible by the hard work of Shore’s Grade 6 team, and our strong and committed lifelong network of alumni and former faculty.

This winter, Shore’s set crew has been hard at work creating all sorts of props, structures, and backdrops for our upcoming musical, HONK! Thanks to the efforts of these exceptional students and their instructors, Shore’s musical will once again have a robust array of materials to use in their production.

What a strong showing at Fay! Although our team needs frequent reminders to think positively of their play, we have much to be proud of from our match today. In years past, we have eked out maybe one game, or perhaps one set from our experienced opponents from Fay. Today, Shore competitors earned significant points, many contests were pushed to the utmost, and we won three! Ultimately, we earned more wins than we have done in recent memory. We went up against a strong team, played hard, and emerged with heads held high. Defeats like this show us what is required to play at the next level, so, hard though it may be to lose, we still benefit from the lessons of our loss. It doesn’t hurt that we have a snow day to relish while we reflect! Until next week, racket players!

This winter, Ms. Bouchard’s Grade 5 class partnered with Lifebridge North Shore River House Shelter to deliver warm clothes, toiletries, first aid supplies, and gift cards to those in need. The shelter works with approximately three hundred people each day, and students have been hard at work collecting these items in order to help Lifebridge North Shore support those who are unable to get these materials on their own.

The midwinter Celebrate, Socialize, and Share in 2025 gathering offered the Shore community a fun way to kick off the new year together and connect in meaningful ways. It was inspiring to see so many of you join us for this new event and to feel the warmth and genuine positivity that provided for new relationships to form among old friendships and shared history at Shore.

Sorry for the late post: Proud to announce a solid win for Shore this week at Myopia against Brookwood! Our less experienced players took to the court this time around, and they delivered consistent serves and fierce shots to earn the victory. Along the way, they earned valuable minutes learning how to navigate the close proximity with their opponent, how to score their own points, and even how to call lets. Big praise for a strong performance!
