A fun day was had by all as the long-awaited Mooreland greenhouse went up on Saturday, May 12th. With many thanks to John Casertano & family (Casertano Greenhouses and Farms, Cheshire) and those students & parents who raised funds for this project over the past four years.
The MHS tennis team lost to Watkinson 5-2 on Thursday, April 26th. Mooreland victories went to first seed singles Carter Neubieser, winning 6-2, and to doubles pair Cam Matino and Manny Samra, winning in tiebreak 7-6 (5-0). another notable performance goes to Samantha Plourde, playing for the first time in the third singles spot and losing 6-4. The set of the day, though, happened when first seed doubles partners Khalil Bradley and Michael Fischer lost in a lengthy and nail-biting tiebreaker 7-6 (11-9).
On Thursday, April 26th, the seventh grade traveled to UMass Amherst to see a production of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The students were treated to a well-choreographed performance that brought energy and humor to a classic text. This field trip kicks off the beginning of the seventh grade Shakespeare unit, where they will be reading Shakespearean sonnets and the classic tragedy Macbeth.
In March, the students of Mooreland”s Latin program participated in the 2012 National Latin Exam, a Latin prize exam administered to over 148,000 middle and high school students from all fifty states and thirteen foreign countries. We are proud to recognize three MHS students who received honors from the American Classical League for their performance on the exam:
Seventh grader Brianna Gambacini received a certificate of achievement on the Intro level exam.
Seventh grader Ben Czuprinski received a ribbon and certificate for outstanding achievement on the Intro level exam.
Eighth grader Brian Tomasco received a gold medal and Summa Cum Laude certificate on the Latin II level exam.
