The Weekly Update #4

Dear Molin Community,

We are excited to implement year two of “Discovery Fridays” once a month for Molin students. Students will rotate through a variety of stations building, experimenting, creating, discussing, and collaborating. Research shows that these hands-on experiences improve:

• Problem-Solving Skills

• Creativity

• Communication Skills

• Empathy and Emotional Regulation

• Memory and Retention

Halloween at Molin!

We will celebrate Halloween on the morning of October 31st. Fourth and fifth graders will parade from the front entrance to the blacktop at 8:15. Students should wear costumes to school and be prepared to change into their typical clothing before lunch. For safety reasons, we ask that students refrain from wearing masks except when marching in the parade. All weapons associated with costumes must remain at home.

Families are invited to view the parade!

For the safety of students, the driveway entrance will be closed. Please park along Low St. The parade can be viewed by lining the perimeter of the blacktop.

NEF AUCTION

The Newburyport Education Foundation Annual Lighthouse Auction is fast approaching, and we need volunteers to be Class Basket Leaders! Each classroom will create an amazing, themed basket with donations collected from parents. Baskets can range from hand-made kid crafted items to lottery ticket wreaths to a cozy winter weekend in a basket. Your help is key to making these baskets truly special. Want to help but don't have a creative idea? Don't worry, we have lots of suggestions!
