During November, classrooms will read the texts Maddi's Fridge by Lois Brandt and illustrated by Vin Vogel, and Saturday at the Food Pantry, written by Diane O'Neill and illustrated by Brizida Magro.

In addition to reading and discussing the stories in school, the students are invited to complete a Giving Back Choice Board focused on promoting generosity, gratitude, and service within our community. More information about the stories and the choice board can be found here.

Additionally, over the next two weeks, we will collect non-perishable food items for the Watertown food pantries and the Community Fridge.

If you want to contribute, please consider donating canned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, and other non-perishable food items. You can drop your donations in the boxes outside the Nurse's Office. Scroll down to the bottom of the newsletter to find the flyer.

If you have unwanted/leftover Halloween candy (even just the stuff that your family might not like!), we will gladly take it off your hands in the Main Office. I am often purchasing candy for faculty meetings, etc. and your extra's last year really helped. We actually got through the whole rest of the year without having to purchase snacks for meetings and professional development!

Wondering what your kids are learning this year? We are beginning a series of grade-level curriculum discussions to occur throughout November. The flyer is attached below. Please join us to see what kids are reading, learning, and doing! The Math and Literacy Coaches (Forrest Sturgis & Mis Mulvey) will join me for these interactive sessions where you'll also get some tips on how to help at home. We'd love to have you!

Learn about our curriculum programs, the most important skills of the grade level, and how you can support learning at home.

Hello Hosmer community!
