Dear Parents,
Grades close today.
Next week will be a flurry of activity with graduation, class day, the
great race, awards, etc.
· Agriculture
Secretary Ross will visit Monday to review our Farm To School program
activities. I want to recognize
Kelly Meacham and Amy Richardson for their hard work this year to integrate Farm To School activities
into the classroom curriculum.
· Students
will have step up day scheduled during this last week so that they can meet the
teacher they have been assigned to for next year.
· On
Wednesday, eighth grade students start the day with Principal’s breakfast and
receiving yearbooks. Yearbooks
will be distributed to students who ordered them throughout the day.
· The
eighth grade Class Day assembly takes place at 1:30. Honor roll, athletic, and individual class awards will be
given at this time. Parents are
welcome to attend.
· The
6 and 7th grade students will have their final awards assembly on
Thursday morning at 8AM. After
this, students will participate in The Great Race. This is a tradition involving academic, athletic, and some
absolutely crazy competition!
· Another
tradition is ringing the bells and giving the busses a huge send off at noon.
· Eighth
grade students do not attend school Thursday morning. Instead they are to come to school at 1:00 PM for
Graduation. We spend the hour
before graduation starts taking a class photo, pinning flowers on to lapels and
corsages onto dresses, and generally having a few minutes together before
saying goodbye.
· Graduation
is at 2:00 PM.
The office will be open Friday, and
all next week. Teachers will be
wrapping up their professional responsibilities by Tuesday. Linda will post a schedule of her summer
hours in the window of the Principal’s office. When Mr. Wright comes on board, he will do the same.
A summer food program has been
established in Windsor that serves students in all of Windsor County. Any child under the age of 18 can enjoy
breakfast and lunch at no cost at the State Street School all summer.
Don’t forget to check out the lost
and found!
So it is time to say goodbye to the
students and parents of this wonderful school. Simply said, I have been blessed to work here, and I leave
you in good hands. As always, give
your child a hug for me.
Judy Callens, Princpal
