Sharon hosts Seekonk at noon Saturday.
The Sharon High School varsity baseball team clinched a state tournament spot Thursday, although the Eagles lost on the scoreboard. Host Stoughton won, 5-2.

Linda Chery-Valentin says she 'really can't tell' whether the allegations against her in Jamaica Plain will discourage parents from enrolling here.
The founding director of a new French bilingual Montessori school opening in Sharon says she "really cannot tell" whether new charges against her in Jamaica Plain will discourage parents from enrolling their children here. However, "this morning, we got two calls from parents in Sharon who said, 'This is all false,'" Linda Chery-Valentin said today. "I don't know what people are thinking. But, they don't know me. I've been in business for so long. This is not me at all," she said. Chery-Valentin, 46, of Natick pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of assault and battery. She directs the Arc-En-Ciel Daycare and Montessori School in Jamaica Plain. She is accused of trying to run down …

Matt Sullivan's 'Reviving Redwood' is among nine finalists in the U.S. for a Student Academy Award.
A two-minute animated silent film by Sharon High School alumnus Matt Sullivan has people talking. "Reviving Redwood" is among nine finalists in the U.S. for a Student Academy Award by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Sullivan expects to hear the results by Monday. A Facebook page he has set up is promoting the film, which was his senior thesis at the Ringling College of Art and Design. "I just want to create some buzz and some interest so people want to see it," says Sullivan, a 2008 Sharon High grad. "Hopefully, before the Academy is voting, if they see that there's a big buzz around the film, maybe it'll help me in some way, or maybe they'll be more inclined to give it another chance."

Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey awarded the funds, totaling $500.
Sharon has received prom and graduation -- safety -- gifts totaling $500, from Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey. The $250 "Project Prom Sense" and "Operation Graduation" grants will "help fund food, entertainment and supplies for the alcohol-free, drug-free events organized to keep the class of 2012 safe" after those two celebrations, according to a press release from Morrissey's office.

SHS Theatre Company performs 'Seussical the Musical Jr.'
The Sharon High School Theatre Company hopes the school auditorium is among "the places you'll go" on Saturday. The students, and Sharon youngsters in grades three to five, will present "Seussical the Musical Jr." at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $8. "I really wanted to do Seussical," says senior Melanie Parziale, the show's director. "I think it's a really fun show, and it's really cute. And it's really good for little kids to be in it and to have their friends come and see it." The 33-member cast is "having a ton of fun just being these crazy, kooky characters," Parziale says. They're joined by 13 Sharon kids in one show and 14 in the other. "It's 'Dr. Seuss,'" Parziale says. "And, what's more 'little kid' than Dr. Seuss?"
