"We are a joyful community that is inclusive and guides children toward curiosity, resilience, and compassion."
Dear Families,
Our students and staff have been loving the warm temperatures this week. It’s amazing how stepping out into the sunshine can reset your mindset and improve your day. Speaking of weather, we lucked out during Saturday’s Spring Fair. It was warm and sunny, but not so hot that kids couldn’t run and have fun. Some parents and I discussed having massage chairs in front of the bouncy house next year. Wouldn’t it be great to relax while watching our children jump and have fun? Thanks to the PTNO for bringing back this important Middlesex tradition.
Students are widening their artist abilities during the residency with “No Strings Marionettes.” Barb and Dan use their knowledge of child development along with artistic expression to engage all learners in the process of puppet creation and design. Please come to our lobby to see the bulletin board filled with pictures of students building their puppets.
Logistics
Field day will be held the morning of Monday, June 17.
Step up day (grades K-5) will be the afternoon of Monday, June 17.
Remember to have your children wear or bring sneakers on PE days. Sandals, flip flops, Crocs are fine for recess, but PE requires proper footwear. We have some extras in the clothing closet.
Our lost and found is overfilled with winter gear. Please come check for your child’s belongings OR to “shop” for next year from our donation closet.
Best,
Karoline May
