Mass in Motion - Fall River

From Fall River to Nashville, Business Management and Finance Students head to Nashville this week to compete in the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) National Competition!

This is an incredible accomplishment, especially considering the level of competition. We are thrilled to recognize junior Shepard Mello-Potvin, who is competing in MOS Excel 365, and sophomore Olivia Parker, who is competing in MOS Word 365.

A special thank you to our teachers whose hard work, instruction, and commitment continue to provide students with meaningful, industry-level experiences and opportunities for success.

We are extremely proud of these students who now represent our school on the national stage in Nashville! Good luck this week!

✨ DID YOU KNOW? ✨

Known as the "Grandmother of Juneteenth," Opal Lee dedicated decades to making Juneteenth a national holiday. At age 89, she began walking from Texas to Washington, D.C. to raise awareness about the importance of recognizing June 19, 1865—the day the last enslaved African Americans in Texas learned they were free.

Her tireless advocacy helped lead to Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday in 2021.

As we celebrate Juneteenth, we honor the legacy of Opal Lee and all those who worked to ensure this important chapter of American history is remembered.

Freedom. Resilience. Community.
