Birchwood held its annual Academic Pep Rally during the week of September 8-11th. This year’s motivational video theme was “Champions and Stars.” Students and staff celebrated education by focusing on how everyone’s future is unlimited and by taking on the challenges of today, and by digging a little deeper, we can be amazing.
Teachers read the book, “What Do You Do With An Idea?” by Kobi Yamadato to their students. This is the story of a brilliant idea and the young child who helps to bring it into the world. As the child's confidence grows, so does the idea itself. And then, one day, something amazing happens.
Birchwood students and teachers then brainstormed ideas on how to be successful at Birchwood this year. To follow-up and build on the theme of “Champions and Stars” each classroom used a light bulb template to organize their plan for success. Another special highlight of the week was a visit from the Whitman Varsity Competitive Dance Team, as well as a dance performance by Birchwood’s very own staff. It was a great week and was accomplished with the fine work of the amazing Birchwood staff.
Congratulations to Birchwood’s finest dancers: Sarah Friedman, Ian “the Wildcat” Denson, Jackie Patino, Ilisa Guittard, Alicia Bucari, Tracey Maddy, Christine Sepe, Melissa Marando, Jasmery Polanco, Lauren Yonce, Elizabeth Weis, Caitlin Bishop, Jill Okurowski, Erin Kessler, Melissa Vultaggio, Carolyn Crofton, Yadigar Saglam, Linda Stauder, Jessica Flinn, Dolores Rufrano, Jen Provda, and Kristin Lally.
