Message from Principal Phelan
Greetings Lowell School,
I continue to marvel at students' ability to be flexible and resilient. I've enjoyed traveling around classrooms during lunch to check in with students and see how they're transitioning to their new environment. I've noticed how chatty and happy students are during lunch. Then it came to me. They're delighted to eat lunch and sit at the same table with their friends. It's made all the difference. They are talking and drawing together. They seem so much more joyful than I've seen in a long time. Those students who love reading take time to read in a small nook in the classroom.
Students have nicely transitioned to the new mask optional protocol. Every classroom has a mix of masked and unmasked students. I notice more masks worn at the Phillips Building, which makes sense. These are our youngest students who most likely have younger siblings at home who haven't had the opportunity to be vaccinated. We continue to support all our students and their family's decision to mask. On Wednesday morning, the students joined Mr. Chen and me to review the following presentation after morning announcements.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
