Principal's Update
Change in Dismissal
We kindly ask that you notify the school (christine.warren@norwellschools.org & the classroom teacher) by 12:00PM if there are any changes to your child(ren)'s dismissal plans. We are experiencing a significant uptick in last minute changes, and such changes require us to interrupt classroom instruction to notify students of the change. We understand that unexpected situations arise, and will always notify children of changes, but greatly appreciate your cooperation in minimizing the amount of classroom interruptions.
Some Vinal students did something very cool last week - they presented to the Norwell School Board to share recent updates from the Vinal PTO!
Every year, the Norwell School Board invites Vinal to share updates about the school. Mr. T, Mrs. Egan, teachers, and some awesome students spoke about some of the recent in-school initiatives. The Vinal PTO was also invited to share some updates.
We shared information about photos about the Giving Event in December that allowed Vinal students to participate in their families' gift-giving tradition (for free). Special shout-out was given to all the great volunteers who made this event happen.
• August Perniola & Tommy Sullivan shared about the Dad's Hockey Event and expertly painted the picture of that great event--the excitement of the game, the playfulness of having Blades there, and the generosity of all of the volunteers, donors, and auction purchasers who helped the event raise over $19K!
• Tessa Maratea & Emmeline Hughan gave an update on the recent Crocodile River Music assembly, art installation, and drumming events. They explained why this event was so informative, exciting, and just plain fun!
Speaking in such a formal setting can be so intimidating (even for adults) and these kids did a wonderful job being brave and informative. Thank you to their parents for supporting their participation!
