Picture of the Week:
As part of learning about checks and balances in government, fifth graders at Prospect Hill Academy Charter School in Somerville participated in a simulation where they were either Supreme Court justices or representatives in Congress and debated and voted on proposed bills.

For the fifth year, members of the Kiwanis Club of Somerville delivered over 200 backpacks filled with school supplies for distribution to high school students who are most in need of assistance. The students who will receive these backpacks will be identified by the staff at Somerville High School and the administrators at Prospect Hill Academy.

“We take the opportunity to get in front of teachers during professional development sessions to talk about upcoming food events and stress the importance of our breakfast and lunch programs,” said Michelle Doyle, MS MPH, Meals Program Director for Prospect Hill Academy Charter School.

PHA is thrilled to be one of only 2 schools in Massachusetts and 160 nationally to receive the inaugural CS100 Award for computer science K-5.
