Star Showers

There is a good chance to see a shooting star if you are up and outside tonight, and even more likely if you are outside in the early hours of tomorrow morning. The Eta Aquarid meteor shower peaked yesterday morning but still offers a show. At its peak the Eta Aquarid meteor shower produces as many as 20 meteors in an hour.

Brissette

Forging an Art Dynasty at High School, Mr. B Heads to China on Third Fulbright

Paul Brissette, chairman of the high school’s art, design and technology department, has been selected to participate in the Fulbright-Hays Seminar Abroad Program to China this summer. He talks about this remarkable honor as an opportunity, not an achievement, which is how he talks about almost everything he’s ever done. As has been true for most of his career at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, Mr. B, as he is affectionately known, deflects attention from himself to his department.
