December 12, 2025

Dear TBHS Community,

With 7 days left until December break we are busy busy busy! This week we had a School Committee on Monday evening where the budget was presented. Wednesday the investment club had a field trip to Fidelity in Boston and the 6-12 instrumental Winter Concert that evening. Thank you to Emily Trainor, Nik Hunt, and Kevin Burokas for all your hard work preparing our students. A bravo to our young musicians! Today progress reports are due, which means you will be contacted if your student has a D+ or lower in any of their classes.

Next week brings 2 field trips! A trip to the MFA with French students and a trip to the Hanover Theater for music students to see A Christmas Carol. Next week also brings the 6-12 Choral Winter Concert on Wednesday evening.

Today is final opportunity to donate to the Project 351 Food Drive in support of Loaves & Fishes. Our Project 351 team and their advisor, Ms. Hodgens, have been working tirelessly toward our goal of collecting 2,000 pounds of food. Thank you, Project 351!

See below for a unique opportunity with Warner Free Lecture Series for students to present on a topic of their choosing and win $200! Applications due Jan 23rd!

Of course, these are only a snapshot of the range of academic, social, and emotional learning happening at TBS!

Please let us know if you have any questions! Below you will find upcoming dates and school/community events.

Best,

Kim

COMMUNITY NEWS AND EVENTS

Fanfare is holding its annual Winter Concert Fundraising Drive. We hope to support our music teachers with several requests this year. Our current drive will raise funds to purchase student ensemble folders to organize their music. Last year’s drive to fund school instrument repairs was a huge success.
