On June 24, Marilyn Decker, Co-PI of the BSP received the Michael G. Contompasis “Zeus” Award, recognizing her outstanding leadership of the district's science department. Introducing Marilyn at the awards ceremony, BPS School Committee Chair Elizabeth Reilinger said, “From organizing annual science fairs to building partnerships with local colleges and national organizations, Marilyn's leadership has made science a district-wide priority and we look forward to her continued leadership in her new role as Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction.”

Furthermore, making it an especially big month for Marilyn, she was asked to become the new Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction for the Boston Public Schools. We wish her all the best as she takes on this leadership role for Boston.

Pam Pelletier, already known to most of us for her stalwart support and appreciation of teachers in the district, will be the Interim Director of Science. Congratulations to both of them!
