Dear Parents,
Once again, I am very appreciative of the many ways that
parents honored their children’s teachers last week. Thank you for your kindness.
We welcomed our incoming Kindergarten students and their
families on the afternoon of the 17th. Students rotated among stations, met their classmates and
interacted with the K – 2 staff.
This looks like a wonderful group of children and families to welcome to
our school community.
If you walk through the seating area by the main office, you
may notice a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Ginny White’s brother, George Figuroy, sent them as a thank
you to our student council. The
student council sent letters to those serving in the military in
Afghanistan. They were very
appreciative.
If you plan to move out of town, or relocate to another home
in town, please give the office a call with that information. We need this information to plan the
bus routes and balance out the class assignments of our students. Thank you.
Next week will be a busy one. First, Mr. Wright, (who will be Principal starting July 1),
is visiting on Tuesday and Thursday.
The purpose of his visit is to meet students and staff and to begin to
get a feel for the school. If you
are in the building on either of those two days, stop by to say hello.
The K – 4 spring concert and Parent Appreciation Night is
Thursday at 6:30 PM. As usual,
this should be wonderful.
Mr. Wolfe returns on Monday. He has organized his yearly trip to Boston with the eighth grade students to walk the Freedom Trail. This will take place on Thursday.
Seventh grade students will work with members of our local
American Legion on Thursday morning to decorate the graves in the cemetery
behind the Brick Church.
As this year begins to wind down, students get spring fever
and begin to get frisky, especially those in grades 7 and 8. Please talk to you children about
hanging in there a bit longer, and controlling their behaviors. Especially important to me is that they
treat the adults in school with respect.
Lately this has not always been the case. Thank you.
The spectacular weather is expected to continue through the
weekend. I am sure you will all be
planting gardens and having barbecues.
Enjoy! As always, give your
child a hug for me.
