In a recent school committee meeting, members discussed the acceptance of a fifth pig sculpture, which was donated by committee members Miss Piavoje and Mr. Musselman. The initiative aims to foster collaboration between the high school art program and the local sculpture park, with the pig designed and painted by BHS art students. The funds contributed by Piavoje and Musselman also supported art scholarships at the school.
The committee unanimously voted to accept all five pigs, with a final tally of 3 to 1 in favor. The pigs are intended to be displayed in various locations, including a tortoise enclosure at the high school, symbolizing the intersection of art and science education.
Additionally, Principal McMahon addressed questions regarding after-school programming at the middle school. The committee discussed the need for a summary of middle school stipends and evaluation processes, similar to those at the high school, to streamline communication and decision-making.
The meeting highlighted the committee's commitment to enhancing educational opportunities through collaborative projects and structured programming.
