The time has come!! Please read the following information carefully:

– Yearbook payments: $100 cash (preferred) or $100 check (made to Boston Latin School: Yearbook). Venmo/Zelle/CashApp will not be accepted at this time

– What do you get?: 200 pages of glossy, full-color pages bound in hardcover. The cost of $100 has been the same since the 90s, so we are getting a good deal on the cost! Payments can be brought to Mx. Amico in room 237. I will be available after school for the foreseeable future between 2:15 – 2:20. Please do not leave money on my desk or mailbox unattended.

– It is strongly preferred for payments to be made sooner (we need to pay the publisher, after all!) rather than later, though payments will be accepted until books come in

– Yearbooks will be available for pick up, per BLS tradition, at the Thanksgiving pep rally. This means that senior activities (senior sunset, prom, and graduation) will all be featured in the Yearbook!

– Please email or see Mx. Amico with any questions!

The Costello Fitness Center will close at 5pm on Th 3/11 and Fri 3/12.

No individual or team is allowed in the space after that time.

Please note that effective Monday, March 16, the lunch schedule rotates so that those students who have had first lunch most recently will head to second lunch, those with second lunch will have third lunch, and students who have had third lunch will go to first lunch:

• First Lunch: Modern Languages, English (Capstone)
• Second Lunch: Math, History
• Third Lunch: Classics, Arts and Music, Science

We want to remind young people of the importance of clearing tables completely at the conclusion of lunch. Those who enjoy lunch outside should pick up and dispose of all trash.

Join the Boston high school ultimate frisbee team this spring! Players from BLS and other city schools join forces to compete in the state high school league, including games, tournaments, and the state championship in late May. Players new and old will learn the skills and strategies, the rules (the sport is self-officiated), make friends with teammates from across the city, and have a blast. There are playing options for 7th and 8th graders also. For more information, go to www.buda.org/en_us/e/boston-grades-3-12-ultimate-spring-2026.

Please reach out to Mr. Joel Thompson with any questions: joelhthompson@hotmail.com
