Melville Message Community Update

In partnership with families and community, the mission of Melville Elementary School is to provide all students with a strong academic foundation through diverse and challenging instruction in a safe and nurturing environment enabling them to achieve their greatest potential while developing self-confidence, respect, responsibility, compassion and a love of learning.

There is no school for students on Tuesday, November 3rd- Election Day!

First and foremost, last Saturday’s Fall Festival was an absolute blast! I loved seeing so many of our students and their families come together to enjoy this long-standing Melville tradition. A HUGE shout-out to our Melville Parent Teacher Group and all of the volunteers who generously gave their time and energy to make this event possible. We are so grateful for the community that makes these special traditions happen!

A big thank-you as well to all of our Kindergarten families and students who joined us on Thursday afternoon for the K Monster Mash! I know Mr. Soares, Ms. Carellas, and Mrs. Read had a wonderful time planning and organizing this event. Thank you to them for creating such a fun afternoon for our youngest learners and their families!

We wrapped up the week with our school wide Character Day celebration and Kindergarten Character Day Parade! It was a fun way to bring our school community together and celebrate the creativity and spirit of our students. What a great way to end the week!

Happy Halloween and please be safe,

Principal Laurie

Educators from around the state were celebrated at last Saturday's Water Fire in Providence and our very own Mrs. Pascoe carried a torch in recognition of being Portsmouth's Teacher of the Year!
