Thanksgiving Message to Families

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, I want to express my gratitude for your continued partnership and support! I am so thankful for your trust in us and for the incredible home-school connection that helps our students thrive.

Each morning Ms. Lisa and I greet your children at drop off and witness their energy, enthusiasm, and excitement for learning! We are also thankful for the many families who participate in school events and volunteer their time. It is this collaboration that makes our school community so special.

We wish you a restful, happy, and healthy Thanksgiving break filled with time spent with loved ones.

Holiday Bazaar

Save the date(s): December 18th with an overflow date of December 19th. The PTO is hosting a Holiday Bazaar for the children to shop for their loved ones. We are looking for volunteers to help set up, wrap, and assist the children with shopping. A Sign Up Genius will go out within the next week. We are asking for donations of gifts and wrapping supplies from the community. (We have plenty of wrapping paper) Any gently used items will work for the children. Please email us at worthingtonpto.ma@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to sign up early.

Thank you!
