Principal's Update
This week was a short one and rainy at that, yet the Braintree energy still ran high! On Tuesday, teachers had an inservice day with our district curriculum coaches in order to analyze fall data and plan for student needs.
Thank you to all of the families who were able to attend conferences! You are your child's first teachers, and maintaining a partnership is essential to student progress.
Our first Family Council meeting will be Monday, 10/17 right after school in the Braintree Elementary library. We would love for you to join us! If you can't make this one but are still interested, shoot me an email (psprague@orangesouthwest.org), and I'll send out the meeting notes.
I'm looking forward to seeing families at Pumpkin Carving Night! As you'll read below, we're opening our new farmstand that evening. You will find exciting goodies like the potpourri students are making in this picture and some corn and bean salsa that I can personally attest is *fantastic*!
Farmstand Update
We are excited to announce that the new farmstand has a name: Braintree Blossoms. The grand opening will be at our Pumpkin Carving event on October 27th. Each class is making a treat to sell (like the sunflower seeds roasted by sixth graders who volunteered on a day off!), and we'll also have products available made from donated local goods.
