Principal Lima's Eagle News

Dear Families and Students,
Although last week was short, it was certainly cold. Students in grades K-4 were introduced to the Earth view maps today, and everyone seemed to enjoy the engaging experience. If your child didn't get to visit the maps today, they will have another opportunity to explore them next Friday.
Next week, students will get excited about the Scholastic Book Fair, which will take place during their library time. We also have a special visit scheduled for Wednesday, January 29th, when MassDOT will unveil their new slow plow truck, "Taylor Drift," in Mrs. Perry's class.
To conclude the week, we invite you to join us for the Scholastic Book Fair event on Friday night, January 31st, from 5:30-7:30 pm in the gymnasium. Don't forget to take a look at the list of upcoming important dates below.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Katelyn Lima, Principal (klima@drregional.org)
Mrs. Christina McGourty, Assistant Principal (cmcgourty@drregional.org)
