PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Wow! We had a great assembly. Our amazing 3rd Grade led the school into the gym via an outdoor Earth Day parade, followed by them performing Rhythms of the Rain. Thank you to Ms. Michaud and Ms. Barker for leading us in a rendition of Habitat. Shout out to all of our Academic and 3 Pillar Award recipients this month, along with our Artist of the Month recognitions. Congratulations to Ms. Gagnon’s, Ms. Heath’s, and Ms. Gerrish’s homerooms for winning this month’s Earth Day Challenge.
Also congratulations to Ms. Metrano’s, Ms. Sewall’s, and Ms. Wheeler’s homerooms for winning the attendance challenge. We ended by drawing three new winners from our perfect attendance jars, and additionally the students were excited to learn that they earned a whole school reward for meeting the schoolwide challenge goal of reducing their lunchtime waste by 25%. The students surpassed the original go with a final total of 60% reduction of lunchtime waste!! As a final piece, it was nice to have Mari Eosco come in today and speak with our 3rd Grade about trash, waste and the impact on the landfill.
