Harriet Beecher Stowe Students Acting Out Emotions: Feeling Charades in Action!
Students recently had a blast playing Feeling Charades as part of their BARR activities! In this engaging game, students acted out different emotions—like excitement, confusion, and fear—while classmates guessed the feelings. It was a fun way for students to explore emotions, practice empathy, and strengthen classroom connections.

📣 Good news! 📣 We’re excited to share that telecommunications at the high school have been fully restored and we are back up and running! After investigating the issue, it turns out the culprit was an unexpected visitor—a rodent that chewed through some cables 🐭⚡️. Repairs are complete, and everything is now functioning normally. Thank you for your patience and understanding during the outage, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything moving forward! #teambrunswickme #mainesuperintendent #cable
