First graders have been working hard on a class book and excited to share with their families!. Each student brainstormed what they want to be when they grow up, organized their thoughts, wrote a rough draft, edited their draft, wrote a final draft, and colored a detailed picture to match their writing. Career Day is an event where students celebrate all of their hard work, and showcase their writing to families. Each student will read their page from the class book to the audience, and dress up as their chosen career. We are so excited for this special event! Families, please arrive at 9:30; parking is in the playground area.
The annual West Bridgewater Town Meeting will be Monday, May 6th starting at 6 pm in the MSHS auditorium.

From the School Nurse
Just a reminder, if your child has medication in the health office that needs to be taken home at the end of the school year, please make arrangements with me to come in and pick it up. Children are not allowed to transport medication home.
Physical Examinations Incoming 4th grade students
Your son/daughter is scheduled to have a school health examination for the next school year. Massachusetts’s law requires a health examination four times in a student’s school life. These exams are done upon entrance to kindergarten, fourth, seventh and tenth grades. Because your child’s physician has a comprehensive knowledge of your child’s health, we recommend that he/she perform the examination.
The exam forms are available on the school website at www.wbridgewaterschools.com (click on Health Services) or your physician may use his/her own form. The form should be completed and returned to the school nurse at the Howard School before the end of December 2024.
The SECOND ANNUAL PLEDGE WALK FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER will take place on Saturday, May 4th from 4-7pm. Hosted by the MSHS student-run Committee for Childhood Cancer Awareness, this event raised over $18,000 last year for the Jimmy Fund Clinic at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and their goal this year is to top $25,000! It will be a fun day with food trucks, music, games, a chance to dunk Mrs. Page and to just be with the community to help an important cause. Please contact the MSHS with any questions. We hope to see you there!
Please fill out this form to register for the walk: https://forms.gle/h16onUbUbuqyNKnF8
May brings us all sorts of fun activities and field trips! Watch for special links from your teachers to order lunches for field trips packed by the Cafe for Free! In addition, each student will have a snack provided for the field trip for free from the Cafe.
This year at RLM we started working on a sustainability project with the kids and introduced reusable metal flatware. The kids have been doing an amazing job of bringing back the flatware to be washed at the end of the meals and we will have an ice cream treat on May30th to celebrate their success for any student who orders a school lunch that day. In addition, with our new filtered water bottle filling station we have drastically reduced the number of disposable cups we were consuming- so keep sending in those water bottles especially as the weather gets warmer.
