Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Thank you for all that you do each and every day. I am so grateful to work with all of you.  The PTO is graciously taking care of us this week. The coffee truck will be pulling up on Wednesday morning. Thursday lunch will be provided from TJ's. A colleague put together this great resource of Teacher Appreciation Deals  that is definitely worth sharing.  The faculty meeting is on Thursday, May 8, at 2:55. We have a busy agenda. The concert choir will perform a selection from their recent MICCA competition, the CARES team will share information from the recent survey on supporting LGBTQ+ students and staff, and the team working on AI best practices will present their work.  Important reminder: Please use the appropriate branding materials for any items that represent Ashland High School. This is an expectation of the School Committee and the Superintendent. If you have any questions about how to access the materials, please let me know....
