MCPE annual meeting at Zullo Thursday

This Thursday, May 26th, please join us for the MCPE Annual Meeting at 7:00 PM at the Zullo Gallery. All are welcome.

We will be honoring and celebrating the following award winners:

• MHS Principal Robert Parga is the recipient of the Robert C. Maguire Global Perspectives in Education Award because of his leadership, work behind the scenes, and openness. He creates and supports an environment that gives teachers and administrators the latitude and resources to present students with a variety of international study opportunities.

• Fifth grade teacher Kerry Cowell and Principal Steve Grenham are the recipients of the Elizabeth Busconi Memorial Award for their grant request for a new graphic novel section in the Dale Street School Library dedicated to former Wheelock teacher Elizabeth Busconi.

• The recipients of the Thomas Reis Award are:

Randie Groden, Melissa Bilsborough, Marissa Foley, Steve Grenham, Orla Berry, Phil Brown, Rudy Cassidy, Kyle Keegan and John Stewart. The award, which was established in 1995 to honor former Superintendent Reis, annually recognizes the grant which promotes cooperation among schools, develops

new programs of study and highlights creativity and innovation. This year’s award is shared between three robotics grants from Memorial, Dale Street and the High School. These grants funded three separate, but related, creative, innovative advances in the study of robotics, fostering a commitment to the discipline, beginning with students as young as PreK and continuing through the completion of high school.
