Accomplishment
We build community in many ways, and in that spirit we celebrated the accomplishments of our 8th graders at our graduation ceremony. Families, volunteers, staff members, students and alumnae sat together in the synagogue's social hall sharing joy and tears. This group of 15 girls will attend 9 different schools next year. Members of this class were awarded $292,000 in scholarship assistance and will likely pursue everything from anthropology to zoology in the years ahead.
They love learning. They also love sailing, pineapple and a spicy treat called Takis. Confident with their social and emotional literacy, they have learned how to be excellent listeners, how to speak up when it matters, and how to work hard toward a long term goal. They've also learned how to show appreciation. As a class gift, they collectively purchased a sun dial for the future outdoor learning space. The class of 2017 is the 7th group of young women to pass through our doors, and we are very proud to call them Sister Sailors!
Our mission, as an independent, tuition-free, nonsectarian middle school, is to educate and inspire economically disadvantaged girls from the New Bedford area. Our Sisters' School empowers girls to step into the future with valuable life skills and a mindset of achievement and excellence by providing a safe, supportive, and academically challenging environment.
