The children did a great job! You will want to take this opportunity to speak with your child/ren about the drill today. We will be practicing again sometime this year.
A special thanks to Sergeant Perry and Officer Shaw from the Barnstable Police Department who assisted us with this drill. Please feel free to contact me (Dr. Kukstis) with any questions or concerns.

BCHMCPS families are invited to join us on Friday, January 18th for a very special performance by Capoeira: Afro-Brazilian Martial Arts, Music, and Dance! As a result of a generous grant from the Barnstable Education Foundation and out Title I federal grant funding, we are pleased to bring this exciting, interactive experience to our students at BCHMCPS. We will host back-to-back performances. Both will be held in the Gym, with Grades 2 & 3 attending from 9:30-10:15 and Kindergarten and Grade 1 from 10:30-11:15.
About Capoeira: From the streets of Brazil comes Capoeira: a unique hybrid of martial arts and dance in which partners pair off and spar in graceful, fluid motions, incorporating acrobatic flips and tumbles, all to the lively rhythms of Afro-Brazilian drumming. Using traditional costumes, colorful maps, live music, Portuguese language, and direct student engagement, the Afro-Brazilian Ensemble brings this unique movement form to life within its cultural context. In addition to Capoeira, two other important dance styles, the Maculele and the Samba, are introduced. Student volunteers will be called upon to get up and try out some moves.
