Hello Green Meadow families!
We are so excited to be hosting a winter concert for our first, second, and third graders! The concert will be on Friday, December 13th, in the Green Meadow cafeteria. Doors will open at 9 AM. It should last for about an hour, and we encourage you to stay the whole time to hear all the different grades. As for what to wear, your child is welcome to wear whatever they are most comfortable in. We ask them to stay away from any logos or big words on shirts, but other than that it is whatever they prefer. If you think you are able to attend, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/cLRzMNRLqAPsxUaw9. You do not have to fill it out to attend, but it will allow us to have an estimate about how many people are going to be in attendance. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me, nwong@maynard.k12.ma.us.
I look forward to seeing you there!

The “Hour of Code” event takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. It is held annually, typically in December, in recognition of the birthday (December 9, 1906) of Computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper. This year it will take place at GMS on December 16-20th. The program was designed to celebrate coding and raise awareness. It was intended to be a quick way to show that anybody can learn the basics of coding and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. Today it’s become a global movement, participating in 180 countries and 45 languages.
