Message from Mrs. Phelan Message from Mrs. Phelan

Dear Lowell,


Happy Friday! MCAS ELA and Math testing is complete for grades 3-5 with the exception of a few make-up tests for students who were absent on the actual MCAS testing date. Fifth grade has the Science and Technology MCAS to complete this week. The students worked extremely hard and took their time to do their very best. We are super proud of them!


We have lots of fun events planned by classroom and grade. Keep posted by reading your student's classroom newsletters.


With Gratitude,

Stacy

Explaining Mindfulness To Kids Practicing mindfulness can be very soothing. Some apps include Mindful Powers (available for Apple and Android devices) and SOS Method (available for Apple and Android devices). Headspace is another great app. If you want to unplug and practice mindfulness that's a great idea too!

MusicFest, an annual fundraiser whose proceeds go to support the Fine and Performing Arts programs in our schools, was a huge success. We saw and heard wonderful performances by many members of our community. We look forward to continuing the tradition next year.

We continue to be very active in the K-5 P.E. Classes. For the Walkathon, the K-2 classes walked around the block and the 3-5 classes did an active obstacle course. As a result, the Lowell School raised over $20,000. This is very impressive!

A Message from Watertown Pride Month Representative

Dear Lowell Community,

Watertown Pride Extravaganza is coming up soon. I hope the students/children in your life feel welcome to attend this affirming event which will happen on Saturday, June 3rd. Here is a link to the site:

https://www.watertownlib.org/676/Watertown-Pride

I also wanted you to know about an event that will be a precursor to the Extravaganza, Design Your Pride Gear on Thursday, May 25, 5-8 pm at the Watertown Free Public Library. We will have many crafting opportunities for all ages: flag decorating, sign making, social justice jewelry making, bedazzling hats and t-shirts, and a lot more. There is no registration, and all supplies and instruction are free.

I have attached a flyer for you to post/distribute to those who may be interested. Families and student groups are more than welcome to come!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
