First quarter has ended, and we are well into second quarter and all the events and activities of a busy school year. In particular, our students have been showing growth in academics and personal development.
Beverly High School has begun a new student recognition program. Each month, faculty and staff can nominate a student who they feel through actions embodies the Panther Spirit- the traits of involvement in the school community, kindness to others, and respect for self, people and property. The Climate Committee, comprised of students and staff chose from the nominees a Student of the Month for each class. Congratulations to October's Student of the Month -senior, Foster Smallman, junior, Merianne Batista, sophomore, Daniel Wittenberg and freshman, Matthew Duvall. November's Student of the Month will be announced in the first week of December.
