Dear Moose,
Last Friday the 6th grade presented their ‘Living History Museum’. They have spent months learning about, researching and writing about heroes. This museum was a culmination of their learning. Parents, students and teachers attended the museum and were taught about these amazing individuals and their lives and accomplishments. The sixth graders dressed as their heroes. Below, find a few great pictures from the event. Amazing work 6th grade!
Our PreK/K, 1st and 2nd grades had their traditional field trip to the Quabbin on Monday. The rain stopped when they arrived and started again when they got on the buses to leave! All students and teachers reported a fabulous trip.
Attached to this RTN are our testing schedules again. Also an email in Google Doc was sent to parents of students in grades 3-6 asking to contribute some healthy and tasty snacks during our state testing. Please consider donating for your student’s class.
Our whole school Arts Night will take place on Wednesday May 4th beginning at 6:00pm! Ms. Chris and EveLynn have been collaborating together to make a beautiful night of space-themed art! Please save the date for this performance, as all students will be expected to perform with their class.
Please enjoy a safe and exciting April break. We will see everyone back at school on April 25th.
Best,
Jackie
