As I am writing , I am thinking back to this time last year, and I am smiling inwardly. Last February we had just been blasted by that late January blizzard and were digging ourselves out from over three feet of snow. This week, we are looking ahead to warm weather - 56 degrees on Wednesday. While I know we have many snow lovers in our midst, I must tell you it’s been great to have outdoor recess and a continuous stretch of learning for our students. As we enter into February, here’s to hoping that Mother Nature will continue to cooperate with our school calendar. So, Mother Nature, if you are listening, the request from LBMS is a bit of snow, a bit of cold, and a smooth (and quick) transition to spring! Continuous learning is all-encompassing, involving more than academics. I would like to make you aware of our most recent efforts to develop and grow student leadership. Over the MLK weekend, 8th grader Bea Ogden represented our school at the annual service and launch day for Project 351. The mission of Project of 351 is to unite diverse 8th grade service Ambassadors from every city and town in the Commonwealth for an inspirational year of community service, leadership development, and enrichment. On launch day, Bea worked with her fellow Ambassadors to provide service at local organizations, including Pine Street Inn, Greater Boston Food Bank, Inquilinos Boricuas en Accion (IBA), Cradles to Crayons, and Service Village with Meals of Hope and Y2Y Cambridge. This spring, Bea already has plans for a service project within our own local community. Amazing. And, just last week, seven of our 6th and 7th grade students attended a Peer Leadership training at Bridgewater State University. The students worked with trainers from MARC to develop positive peer leadership skills. Upon their return, the group developed a plan to further strengthen and support a positive social climate in our school community. I would like to thank Mrs. Hutton for her mentorship of Bea with Project 351 and her involvement with our burgeoning 6th and 7th grade student leaders. Looking ahead, February will be a busy month. Please mark your calendars and join us as a school community to support the culmination of the basketball season with final games for girls and boys basketball, a Principal Chat on February 5, and our school-wide spelling bee on the evening of February 8.

Important Calendar Information: Spring State Assessments, MCAS As we head into this spring’s state-wide assessment window, please be reminded that there have been

some changes to our state-wide assessment. The grades 3–8 English Language Arts and Mathematics

will be augmented with a limited number of PARCC items for spring 2016. The state intends that these

changes will help make statewide comparisons easier and will offer students the opportunity to

experience PARCC items while assessments for 2017 and beyond are being developed. The test design

for grade 10 has not changed. Click here for more information about this test development.

Please mark your calendars for the important MCAS testing dates below. Thank you for your

cooperation in ensuring your child’s attendance during these testing windows. More information to

follow.

ELA: March 28 - April 12

about U.S. and world geography and was crowned 2016 LBMS Champion.

We wish Bodie the best as he moves to the next phase of his geography

journey which includes a qualifying test for the state Bee.

12 Angry Men and the Judicial System

The 8th grade spent much of January learning about courts, trials,

and juries in an interdisciplinary unit for Social Studies and

English Language Arts classes. After reading the play 12 Angry

Men and watching the film version, and

researching about the trial process, the unit was

capped off with an interactive presentation from

the Massachusetts Office of the Jury

Commissioner. Students learned more about jury duty, trials, and how jurors are

selected. After the presentation, the students were able to participate in a simulation

of the jury selection process and a mock trial. The students found the presentation

both informative and entertaining--ask them what they have learned about jury duty!

Rising 9th Grade Open House for Nashoba Regional High School The high school will be hosting an information night for rising 9th graders and their parents at the high

From Our Nurse, Mrs. Perkins

Youth Risk Behavior Survey

On March 8, 2016, Luther Burbank Middle School will be administering the Youth Risk Behavior

Survey to all 6th and 8th grade students. This is an effort that the NRSD participates in every two

years with other schools in our area. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey Project was started in 1998

under the guidance of Emerson Hospital. The project is modeled after The Center for Disease

Control and Prevention's YRBS. The results provide a look at our student's healthy behaviors as

well as risky ones. These results guide our efforts to educate our students, in partnership with

you, to help them develop good health habits that will lead to a long and healthy life.

In preparation for the administration of the survey, representatives from Emerson Hospital and

health education coordinators from the eight participating districts, meet to update and refine the

YRBS and the process for its implementation and analysis. In addition to NRSD, the other seven

participating districts include: Harvard, Acton-Boxborough, Maynard, Groton-Dunstable, Littleton,

Westford, and Concord-Carlisle. Currently, The NRSD School Nurse Leader, Donna Lindstom has

represented our district on the current planning team. In past years, Interim Superintendent, Dr.

Curtis Bates, and Lancaster School Committee member, Kathryn Codianne, were involved in

planning committees on behalf of the school districts that they were employed at the time.

To learn more about the NRSD results from the 2014 YRBS and how our students compare with

other students across the state, click on this link.

Please be assured that all information that students provide is anonymous and un-identifiable.

Letters will be emailed to all parents of 6th and 8th grade students this week. Parents without

email access will receive a paper copy in the mail. As always, you have the right to opt your child

out of this survey without penalty. If you have questions or would like to discuss this further,

please feel free to call me at 978-365-5629.

Thank you, Mrs. Perkins

VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED!

Are you interested in helping out our school? Have some time to help with projects, copying,

assembling hands-on materials for our students, or lending an extra hand in a classroom? We need

you! Many of our Burbank teachers would benefit in different ways from an extra pair of hands. If

you are willing and able to volunteer, please email me directly at [email protected]. Thank you!

Leftover Craft Materials for Projects Do you have any leftover craft materials from

projects that you are willing to donate for student use? Donations of items such as: pom poms, felt,

pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, clay, poster board, glue sticks would be gladly appreciated. Please

bring them to the LBMS office. Thank you, in advance, for your continued support of our students.

Student Writing

This month we highlight an 8th grade student writer, Alec MacDonald, who writes to

commemorate the life work of David Bowie.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF DAVID BOWIE

David Robert Jones or as we know him, David Bowie, was born on January 8, 1947 in Brixton,

England. David grew up listening to rock music, such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and of course

the king, Elvis Presley. In the early 60’s, Bowie went to art school where he met three other guys

who shared the same musical interests as him. They started a band called The Riot Squad and he

changed his name to Davey Jones. The band went on to release a few singles that went on the

charts, but they disbanded in 1967. Two years later, Bowie released his first single titled “Space

Oddity”. The song went number one in the UK charts in 1969, and many consider the single his big

break. For the first time in two years, Bowie was known to the public again. He changed his name

for the second and last time to David Bowie. 1972 and 1973 were also huge years for Bowie

because he released the album “Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars”. He created an alter

ego named Ziggy Stardust who came from Mars and played guitar left handed, among other things.

The fans loved Ziggy. Even though it was just Bowie in makeup, he acted like a completely

different person. Ziggy “died” at the end of 1973 when the tour ended. Also, in 1972 he made the

album “Transformer” with the former Velvet Underground member Lou Reed. In 1975, Bowie

collaborated with John Lennon and produced the rock song “Fame”. In 1977, he released “Heroes”,

a number one hit. In 1984, he starred in the movie “Labyrinth” directed by Jim Henson, in which

he sang the soundtrack “Underground” and he played the role of the goblin king. In the 90’s, Bowie

didn't have as much success with songs like he did in the 70’s. One song that stood out on his 1997

album “Earthling” was “I’m Afraid Of Americans”. Skipping ahead a few years to 2016, he released

his last studio album “Blackstar” which came out on his 69th birthday. It is an odd album with the

genre Experimental Jazz and Hard Rock. Two days later on January 10th, Bowie died of cancer

which he hid from the public for 18 months. I think that he could not have left his fans (including

me) a better present to remember him by than “Blackstar”. But look at how lucky we are to have

lived in the same time as David Bowie and how lucky we are to experience his wonderful music.

My personal favorite song by him is “Life On Mars” released in 1971 off the album “Hunky Dory”.

David will be forever missed and will go down as one of the greatest singers of the 20th century. I

guess you could say that the Starman went back to Mars.

Ellen Miller from the Worcester District Attorney’s Office gave Luther Burbank students this critical information during her visits on January 12th & 13th.

Please discuss these important tips with your child.

#1 Take Away = When in doubt, TELL AN ADULT

3 Reasons the DA’s office thinks Cyber Bullying happens more than other types of bullying

People feel more power when they are online rather than in person False Belief: “No one will ever find out it’s me.” One example from Assumption College

– student twitter account threatened the school, police found out that one student borrowed another student’s account… police / experts were able to track the real person at fault)

“What you don’t see” – We don’t see faces, expressions, reactions, tears, anger online

Tips to Protect Yourself

Protect passwords Do not post anything that you would not want EVERYONE, your parents,

teachers, principal, or coaches to see

DELETE does not exist

Your Digital Footprint

February 24, 2016 Parent Workshop: Basic Rights in Special Education

Is your child struggling in school? Do you suspect your child could have a learning or

behavioral disability that may require him/her to receive additional support services at school? Is your child currently on an IEP or 504 and you’d like a better understanding of the laws and

process that the NRSD Special Education Department follows to provide support services to your child?

This workshop provides families with an introduction to their rights and responsibilities under the

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Massachusetts Special Education Law. It is designed to help parents learn how to be effective partners with their child’s school to decide their child’s eligibility for special education, and to plan, make decisions and monitor their child’s

progress in school.

Where: High School, Room 216, 12 Green Road, Bolton

Luther Burbank Middle School Drama Presents

an ORIGINAL MUSICAL

A Fairy Tale Life?

A Musical©

Story© by: Paula Castner Music© by: Nancy Beaudette

Lyrics© by: Nancy Beaudette and Paula Castner

Friday, March 11, and Saturday, March 12, 2016, 6:30 p.m.

At the Mary Rowlandson and Luther Burbank auditorium

103 Hollywood Drive, Lancaster, MA 01523

Tickets available at the door: $4 students and seniors and $6 for adults

Advance ticket sales available through attached form

Award winning Canadian singer and songwriter, Nancy Beaudette, and writer

and playwright, Paula Castner, have combined their talents to produce a whimsical play

about teenage angst and the role of choices. Ebullient, thoughtful songs and embellished,

realistic characters make for an entertaining amalgamation.

Four high school students – Josh, Marissa, Brian, and Kelly – wrestle with

dating, making friends, desires versus limitations, and self-esteem. All the while, the

Fairy Godmother has brought the Evil Queen to watch the teenage dramas unfold as part

of the Evil Queen’s rehabilitation for putting Snow White to sleep. Josh, Marissa, Brian,

and Kelly wish their lives could match the fairy tales they grew up listening to, and the

Evil Queen blames Snow White for all her problems. How all five come to learn lessons

about living will regale audiences of all ages.
