A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

This week has flown by! We have been busy learning about the American Revolution in fifth grade, made some beautiful spin art shamrocks, and in fourth grade we had our second week of the SALTY program, where students are learning about marine species in the Gulf of Maine. Today, students and staff showed their school spirit by wearing green. We had some very cute and original outfits! Tomorrow, teachers will continue their professional learning. There are many activities taking place from literacy studies, specialists' meetings, safety training, DEI, and data and assessment work. It will be a full day!


Next week's "Thursday Folder" will come home on WEDNESDAY. In addition to a book for grades 3-5 and other fliers, the folder will contain your child's report card. If you have not done so already, please sign up for a parent/teacher conference. The conferences will be held next Thursday, March 21st.
