What does Solstice mean?
In astronomy, the solstices occur near when the sun is at its highest and lowest points in the sky (around June 21st and December 21st). Middle school can be a time of ups and downs, both academically and socially. Our team name reminds us that an “up” time is always around the corner – even during the “down” times. The solstices are also connected to our seasons…the summer solstice and the winter solstice mark the beginning of each of those seasons.

Ms. Bellot
Humanities
Ms. Bellot appreciates going for long walks, shopping, and listening to books on Audible. She enjoys a good strawberry frosted donut with sprinkles. She is excited to welcome her first child in late November. Other than teaching, her dream is to run a Hallmark store where she can find the perfect cards for her customers (and maybe collaborate with Mr. Newton on the drawings).
