Scituate School Department

Scituate High School earned its Project ADAM Heart Safe School status this past week!! Project ADAM helps schools establish a plan to respond to sudden cardiac arrest. Maggie Colllins helped establish the plan and run practice drills as part of her senior project. Members of administration, teachers and town EMS participated in the final drill. We are one a few schools in Rhode Island to earn this status and we are prepared if we need to call the team together in a real emergency!

Everyone had a blast participating the Spartan Olympic Games at the end of the day today! Students enjoyed playing Tug-Of-War, Dodgeball, Around The World, and Hungry, Hungry Hippos and there were smiles all around. 💙🤍

The Audubon Society of Rhode Island visited Clayville Elementary on Friday, March 22nd with Great Horned Owls and a Screech Owl! Students learned biofacts about the structure and functions that help these birds survive, the predator/prey dynamics, and the importance of habitat.

The month of March is known as Music in Our Schools Month and our Music Department has been very busy! They celebrated All State weekend, and the chorus performed in the state choral festival. Up next is Band Festival on April 11th!

Students in Mrs. Slaughter's Kindergarten class at North Scituate Elementary are learning how to add using number bonds. They learned how number bonds work by acting out addition stories on the rug. What fun!
