Friday Memo | February 14, 2025        

Dear TBHS Community,

Happy Valentine’s Day and February Vacation! We’ve had a fun time with Spirit Week this week….from Bromfield Spirit day to Fan Day to Pink & Red, we’ve been dressed up all week.

The week we come back brings progress reports on Wednesday, 2/26. It’s hard to believe that means it is half way through quarter 3. 

Have a safe and fun week!


Best,

Kim

Kim Murphy

The Bromfield School Principal, 9-12

Greetings from the Bromfield Science Department  


Consider being a judge at the 2025 Science Fair!  The annual Bromfield Science Fair will take place in person at The Bromfield School, 14 Massachusetts Avenue in Harvard, MA on Friday, March 7th at 3:30 pm. What could be more fun than interacting with some enthusiastic and energetic young scientists on a topic they’re passionate about?  


Prior experience is not required – training and guidance will be provided.  A background in science is helpful but not essential – more important is a love of learning and an interest in interacting with young scientists.  Judging at the science fair requires about 1½ to 2 hours.  We ask judges to arrive at 3:00 pm, so we can start with a brief training session.  Judging will finish around 5:45 pm, depending upon the number of projects that are in your panel. 


If you are interested and available to judge at this year’s science fair,  please complete this form (link:  https://forms.gle/2FWSTr1TPXXrRzS29) with your contact information as well as the subjects and grade levels you prefer to judge. We will determine judging assignments based on the number and types of projects and do our best to match your preferences. Please contact Kristen Vanderveen, the Bromfield science department leader, with any questions or changes to your availability. 


We look forward to hearing from you!
