Particulars:   On Thursday afternoon March 15th, the entire 7th grade class of Bartlett Junior High School gathered in the school cafeteria to kick off a pep rally of sorts.  The occasion for the event was to pump students’ confidence levels up for the upcoming MCAS standardized testing.  The rally was also a great way for their teachers and the school’s faculty to show their support of the students in gaining a “Proficient” score of at least “240” on their exams.  Teachers stressed to the students that they already possess the skills and the knowledge to tackle the tests, and they should believe in their abilities.

This is the 2nd Annual MCAS “240”party that has been held at the school and it was attended by the entire 7th grade class.  This year’s festivities included a cupcake decorating competition which highlighted the “240” score theme.  The battle cry was “Take a BITE out of the MCAS!”  On hand to give a few words of encouragement and judge some very well decorated cupcakes were School Superintendent Dr. Gregory Ciardi, Principal Dr. Steve Dlott, and Helen Rowlings, the school’s Vice Principal.  Lara DeRose and Sarah Kane organized the event.

Bartlett Junior High School would like to thank the Webster Shaw’s Supermarket for their generosity in donating the cupcakes, frosting and other decorations that made the event possible, as well as Beth Esposito and the Bartlett Jr. High PTO.
