Tewksbury Public Schools opened its meeting with student performances and district recognitions, featuring a theatrical excerpt and presentations of student accomplishments in science, music and art.

Julia Barushik, a Tewksbury Memorial High School student who will play Ariel in the school's production of The Little Mermaid, performed a short excerpt from the show for the committee. Central Elementary and Ryan School students later performed selections from their stage productions; the committee noted that about 110 fourth graders participated in the Central Elementary performance earlier in the season.

Superintendent Terry O'Regan and district staff highlighted student achievements included in the meeting packet: winners at the Massachusetts Science and Engineering Fair (Zia Shah, Claire Petrone and Carter Fleming), selection of a student, Armani de Silva, for first violin at the 2025 Massachusetts Music Educators Association Junior District Festival, and history projects and STEAM nights at the Ryan School illustrating curriculum progression across grades. The packet also noted preschool and early grades classroom work and a Heath Brook demonstration for National Down Syndrome Day.

Tewksbury Memorial High School's theater production of The Little Mermaid opens this weekend; tickets were reported at $10 and selling quickly. The committee and superintendent thanked staff, volunteers and families for supporting arts, athletics and clubs across the district.
