BLACK OUT BULLYING: Governor Patrick designates Jan. 25 "No Name Calling Day"
Students encouraged to wear black to raise anti-bullying awareness
In keeping with the Patrick-Murray Administration’s commitment to ensuring all students have a safe learning environment, Governor Deval Patrick has designated January 25 as “No Name Calling Day” in Massachusetts. A provision of the anti-bullying legislation, supported by the Legislature and signed by Governor Patrick in May 2010, “No Name Calling Day” will be recognized in classrooms across the Commonwealth as students pledge to take a stand against bullying. At Herberg we will be wearing black to demonstrate our support on Wednesday, Jan 25th and taking the pledge drafted by Governor Deval Patrick.Students are also encouraged to wear black as a sign of their commitment to "Black Out Bullying" in schools January 25.
“In my role as Governor and as a father of two daughters, I firmly believe that every child should come to school knowing that they are safe and free from bullying,” said Governor Patrick. “No Name Calling Day will remind us of the type of vigilance we should exhibit every day to ensure our students are free from the dangers and distractions of bullying.”
"We need to foster safe environments for students, and 'No Name Calling Day' is an initiative to help raise awareness that bullying should not be tolerated," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "I hope that on this day and throughout the year, students feel protected and safe in their schools and communities."
Students will also have the opportunity to sign “No Name Calling Day” banners that will be created at each school to publicly express their commitment to preventing bullying. Working with superintendents and school leadership, members of the Governor’s Statewide Youth Council will help lead efforts in their greater communities to Black Out Bullying.
Have a happy and healthy holiday season!
Please vote for Egremont School:We were informed this afternoon that Egremont School was chosen as one of ten finalists in the IdeaPaint contest. They were selected from hundreds of entries from schools, businesses, and organizations across the United States. They are the only finalist from Massachusetts. All that stands between Egremont and a $2,500 makeover is an online public vote: the two finalists with the most votes in the next week will win.
We would like to publicize this voting opportunity as much as possible across the school district and the city. Anyone can vote once every day with each of their email addresses.

Opening Day is Near
The temperatures are finally starting to drop into the snowmaking ranges at night. The long range forecast is now looking promising for snowmaking to begin on or around Wednesday, November 30, with cold nights to follow. This cold air will allow us to fire up the snow guns for some night time snowmaking with possibilities of around-the-clock snowmaking over the following weekend. With that said, it is a long range forecast and we all know it can change one way or another and probably will. Our earliest estimated opening day at this point would be Saturday, December, 3, but could likely be the following week or weekend. Keep your eyes on the thermometer and on Bousquet, the snow guns will be firing soon!

- After school (2:30-?), in room 101, Friday, October 14th the students (and any parent/guardian that wishes to attend) from the Herberg Middle School/Pittsfield Music Program will have the unique opportunity to meet and learn from an up and coming Jazz musician, Ms. Grace Kelly.
- A little bit about Grace Kelly:
- When it comes to saxophonist/vocalist/composer/lyricist/arranger Grace Kelly, people seem to be divided into two groups: those who marvel at her proficiency, creativity and ever- accelerating growth, and those who have yet to encounter the 19-year-old wunderkind. The ranks of the former category are growing by the day. Trumpeter and Jazz at Lincoln Center Artistic Director Wynton Marsalis was so impressed with Kelly's three-night stand as guest of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra that he invited her to join the ensemble at the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theater in Washington, D.C. Harry Connick, Jr. heard Kelly in a master class on a December afternoon and brought her on stage to sit in with his band that night. Since then, Kelly has been voted "Best Jazz Act" in Boston four consecutive years in the FNX/Phoenix Best Music Poll, received the ASCAP Foundation's Young Jazz Composers Award in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011 and won "Jazz Artist of the Year" at the Boston Music Awards in both 2008 and 2010. The 2009, 2010, and 2011 Downbeat Critics Poll added to her the list naming her one of the "Alto Saxophone Rising Stars", the youngest ever to be named so.
- Ms. Kelly will be in Pittsfield for the 7th annual Pittsfield CityJazz Festival
- The lineup for the festival includes something for everyone: a returning jazz master, the fastest- rising star in the field, a piano prodigy, and the annual "jazz crawl", known more formally as Jazz About Town. The fortnight of festivities takes place from Oct. 7-20, 2011 in and around Pittsfield, the downtown of the Berkshiresîin western Massachusetts. The festival opens on Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 7-9, with the annual jazz crawl. Restaurants, coffee houses, bars and lounges will be presenting regionally-based jazz musicians in casual settings around the city. As many as a dozen venues are expected to participate.
Welcome to an exciting year at Herberg Middle School!
