KTC’s production of Dear Evan Hansen was an incredible success, showcasing the talent, dedication, and hard work of our Sandwich Middle High School students. From powerful performances on stage to the seamless work behind the scenes, the entire production came together in a truly memorable way.

This achievement would not have been possible without the efforts of so many: students, tech crew members, and families, who all played an important role in bringing the show to life.

A special thank you goes to KTC Director Anthony Teixeira for his outstanding leadership and vision in guiding this production from start to finish.

We are proud of everyone involved for delivering such an amazing experience for our school community! Bravo!

We extend our sincere thanks to our SMHS School Social Workers, the SMHS Mental Health Advocacy Project Club, Justice Resource Institute Cape Cod, and Bay Cove Behavioral Health & Wellness Center Hyannis for generously volunteering their time and mental health resources to support our school community.

Over April vacation, 16 SMHS students traveled to Rome and Naples alongside their Latin teacher, Abi Creighton, and World Language Department Chair, Liam Kelly, for an unforgettable educational experience in Italy.

Students explored iconic historical and cultural landmarks including the Vatican, Pompeii, ancient ruins, and renowned museums, bringing their classroom studies to life in extraordinary ways.

From immersing themselves in Roman history to experiencing Italy’s rich culture, cuisine, and traditions, the trip offered students an incredible opportunity to learn and make lasting memories.

With winter weather now in the rearview mirror, students are once again enjoying the opportunity to eat lunch outdoors. As the temperatures rise, the courtyard and outdoor spaces have come back to life, giving students a chance to relax, connect with friends, and enjoy the fresh air during the school day.

It’s a welcome sign of the changing seasons and a reminder of the simple joys that come with warmer weather! ☀️

Marketing students hosted a Marketing Exhibition, showcasing their understanding of key marketing concepts.

Each project focused on an actual company and highlighted key strategies such as advertising positioning, customer retention, market segmentation, and data-driven analysis using perceptual maps. The projects were highly visual and engaging, allowing students to clearly communicate their ideas.

In addition to demonstrating their knowledge of marketing strategy, students strengthened their presentation skills by sharing their work with visitors who stopped by to listen and ask questions.

The exhibition provided a valuable opportunity for students to connect classroom learning with real-world applications while building confidence in presenting their ideas. It also proved to be a wonderful experience for our middle school students to engage with high school students and learn about the SMHS Business Pathway.

Students in English 12 Honors brought Frankenstein to life through a creative and engaging final assessment that blended writing, collaboration, and presentation. After completing an open response essay, groups worked together to explore major themes from the novel and connect them to modern-day issues such as cyberbullying, artificial intelligence, and societal responsibility.

Throughout the classroom, students led thoughtful discussions, presented original ideas, and used visuals to support their thinking. Many groups made powerful connections between the treatment of the Creature and challenges in today’s world, emphasizing the importance of empathy, acceptance, and accountability.

The project highlighted not only a strong understanding of the novel, but also students’ ability to think critically, collaborate effectively, and apply literature to real-world situations.

SMHS students had the opportunity to explore a wide range of STEM careers during the recent STEM Speaker Series, hosted by the Science and Math National Honor Societies.

Professionals from several fields generously shared their experiences, career paths, and insights into their respective industries:

Erin Lehane: Registered Nurse

Ron Horwood: Meteorologist

Michael Thomas: Mechanical/Aerospace Engineer and Technology Professional

Brian Kelly: Wildlife Biologist

Dr. Kristin Sareault: Dentist

Tom Fougere: Electromechanical Engineer

The event provided students with a valuable connection between classroom learning and real-world careers, helping them better understand the many opportunities available in STEM fields.

Students in Mr. Boykin’s Principles of Biomedical Science class took their learning to the next level with hands-on exploration of real-world medical techniques. Using professional training equipment, students practiced procedures such as blood draws on prosthetic arms with real syringes, along with blood flow simulation and intravenous (IV) application.

Working collaboratively, students strengthened both their technical skills and their understanding of how the human body functions in clinical settings. These immersive labs bring classroom concepts to life, building confidence and precision as students apply their knowledge in authentic, high-interest scenarios.

As part of the Biomedical Pathway, experiences like this provide meaningful exposure to the healthcare field and continue to prepare our students for future careers in nursing, medicine, and medical research.

We’re excited to share an upcoming community-wide event! On Tuesday, April 28th, the Sandwich Public Schools are partnering with Boston Children’s Hospital’s Digital Wellness Lab to host A Day of Digital Wellbeing.

● Recognizing that we have the power to make intentional decisions about technology use

This day is meant to create a shared knowledge base that students, faculty, and parents can use to discuss balanced digital media use at home and in school. As such, the student workshops will be followed by an evening talk at 5:30 pm at the Oak Ridge School open to the greater Sandwich community featuring speakers from the Boston Children’s Digital Wellness Lab.

SMHS Project 351 ambassador, 8th grader, Fenno Greene, organized a clothing drive across all three Sandwich schools.

Thanks to his efforts, Fenno collected 11 bags of clothing which were donated to Cradles to Crayons, an organization supporting children and families in need.

Fenno was assisted in sorting and organizing the donations by 7th grade Student Council members Claire Glazener and Charlotte Lehane.

We are proud of Fenno and all of our students for their commitment to giving back to the community!

Members of the National Honor Society brought color and cheer to residents of Cape Heritage Rehabilitation Center this week. During their meeting, students potted 36 pansies to share with residents, creating a simple but meaningful gesture of kindness.

Seniors Luke Caleshu and Lauren Frazel delivered the flowers, helping brighten the day for those at the center.

We are proud of our NHS students for continuing to make a positive impact in the community.
