8th Grade Step-Up Night A Huge Success

About 120 people visited Bucksport High School and they walked away with big smiles on their faces.  Faculty, staff and students decorated the school and especially the gymnasium with student work, co-curricular activites information and extra-curricular activites information.  Parents and students were greeted by the playing of our pep band under the direction of Mr. Neslusan.  A total of thirty tables were used to display information of programs offered at BHS.  Parents and students went through four different informational learning activities about Bucksport High School that rotated every twenty five minutes.  Guidance was in the cafeteria where they talked about freshman classes and electives offered.  The six core BARR grant teachers were in the library talking about the Freshman Success Academy we have in place next year.  BHS students gave tours of the school and the last learning activity area was the gymnasium where the chorus sang and at the end Zumba was demonstrated by Mrs. Audibert's PE class.  The feedback we have gotten has been very positive and we showed Bucksport High School is a great place to be!
