P A G E 8 Bilingual/ESL For Bilingual/ESL at FHS and throughout the district the past month has been all ACCESS all the time. Students have been taking on line tests in each of the four domains: listening, reading, writing and speaking. The month long marathon of testing ends in the first week of February, just in time for the MCAS science retest! On December 6th, a group of Bilingual/ESL students attended a Celtics game as guests of TD Bank. The invitation to be part of the TD Bank Clubhouse came through the efforts of Vinicius De Souza, a former FHS student who is now a manager at TD Bank. In order to select 16 students from the nearly 300 in the program, the department ran a contest. Students were invited to communicate the reasons why they should be chosen to participate. Students at every level submitted entries in the form of essays and power point presentations. Eli Driscoll chaperoned the select group to Boston Garden to watch the Celtics beat the Mavericks 97-90. Special Education Thanks to a DESE grant for transition planning, the special education department has been able to open the Fleagle Market. This is a "school store" where students can purchase pens, pencils, paper, poster board and other school supplies during lunch and study hall periods. It is run by students and they are learning valuable vo- cational skills such as keeping an inventory and using a cash register. The store is self sustaining as all of the money collected goes back into buying more supplies.
