Byam Newsletter

Our students earned an all school reward on Wednesday and were treated to staff sumo wrestling matches. Thank you to Mrs. Brown, Ms. Boutin, Mr. Graber and Mrs. Holman for joining Mr. Fredette and Mrs. Dolan in the ring. It was certainly a day to remember! We are on to earning more roars and our next incentive.

Mr. Graber and our 4th grade students performed at the State House in Boson as well as for the entire school this week. Their performances were a great way to send us off to winter break.

The Great Hall pictured below at the state house is decorated with flags of the cities and towns of Massachusetts. Below Byam 4th grade students are viewing/pointing to the Chelmsford town flag hanging in the State House Great Hall.
