What’s Happening on the Hill

Bamidele performs for the 5th Grade!

On April 5, the 5th grade was treated to a wonderful interactive performance from Bamidele, a West African dancing and drumming duo. Marilyn and Sekou Sylla performed their show “Wongai! Rhythms of West Africa, Brazil, and the Caribbean” which taught the 5th graders about celebratory West African dances and their adaptations in Brazilian and Caribbean cultures, set to the rhythms of African drumming. The students learned that every dance in Africa is done for a specific occasion and has its own movements that tell a story, its own song, rhythm and instrumentation. The 5th graders and the teachers were also part of the performance as volunteers for drumming and dancing throughout the show!

Thank you parents and caregivers! This program was sponsored by Enrichment and would not be possible without your contributions to the CSA!

Last call for Auction Program Shout Outs!

Deadline Extended to April 21st!

Don’t miss out! A Shout Out is an ad in the Pine Fest auction program providing parents, caregivers and family members (anyone really!) a great way to send a special message to a Pine Hill student or special faculty member.

This is always a big hit with the kids and can be used to feature sports and other teams, scout troops, group bus stops, siblings and friends in addition to graduating 5th graders. This is time to get creative!

Sherborn Picks Up - April 2023

The Town of Sherborn’s Select Board and its Department of Public (DPW) works is supporting this community volunteer effort to pick up litter in Sherborn in April.

Help us fill the WHY!!

A public art installation of letters spelling out “WHY”- made of rebar and chicken wire and standing 5’ tall - will again be installed by the DPW at the Sherborn 16/27 split.

For the April Cleanup, volunteers are encouraged to sign up to pick up litter during times and in areas of their choosing. Litter has accumulated throughout Sherborn on roadsides, adjacent to sidewalks and at the edges of recreational areas such as Fessenden, Laurel Field and the Playground. The sign up just lets us know your interest and plans, you will not be formally committed to anything - and we will be able to reach you with details, photos and local updates throughout the month.
