FAFSA Info Night Seniors applying to college this year are invited to take advantage of a virtual webinar that will help you prepare for the FAFSA process on Wednesday, December 20. Contact the school counseling office for more information.
Feeding CT Food Drive Feeding CT needs the student body’s help to collect canned and dried goods for the holidays. The goods will be donated to the Berlin Food Pantry. Hand the food into your advisory teachers from December 11th through the 15th. Each good will count as one point for your advisory class. The class with the most points will win donuts during the next advisory class! Officers will be counting the food on Friday, December 15 after school.

Interact Club Meeting and Holiday Party on Tuesday Interact Club meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 12 after school in the Multipurpose Room. This meeting will also act as our holiday party.

Peer Mentoring at Hubbard Elementary School Any student interested in mentoring a Hubbard Elementary School student in grades K-5 once a week should reach out to Ms. Patel via email or in person. Peer mentoring involves working with an elementary school student once a week for 30-45 minutes. You will be the high school buddy to this student for the remainder of the school year, so maintaining consistency with your attendance is crucial. You will do activities like coloring and drawing, games (board games, card games, etc.), helping with homework, practicing an instrument, and whatever else your elementary school student needs. Please contact Ms. Patel with any questions or if you'd like to sign up.
