ePack #21

Dear Families,

Although it was a short week, it sure was a busy one!  We celebrated our 100th day of school yesterday.  Many classes recognized the day in different ways - special hats, dressing as 100 year olds, and many other activities involving the number 100.  Mark your calendars!  Due to the snow days, our final day of school is now Tuesday, June 21st.  As you know, February Vacation is February 15 - 19th.  Enjoy the break!  

Marshmallow Challenge: A hard copy of this reading activity was sent home to you.  The Marshmallow Challenge is an easy and fun way to keep the children reading over vacation. These sheets are due back on Monday, February 22nd.  Please encourage your children to participate as there will be a prize for those who do. 

MCAS:  Please note that a draft of the upcoming MCAS testing schedule is in today's ePack.  This is subject to change.  

MassCue Grant:  Mrs. Brems, Title I/Curriculum Director, and I were awarded a $3,000.00 grant to create  MakerSpace for Community School.  I'll update you as we go forward.  Here are some links that may be helpful:

Shoes:  Please remember to donate used shoes to our bin in the main hallway.  Thanks for the donations that came in!

Box Tops:  Please note that a new Box Top collection sheet has been posted in tonight's ePack.  A hard copy will come home tomorrow with your child.  Please return these collection sheets upon your return from February vacation.  

That's all for now.  Have a great weekend and a better vacation!  

Mr. Gaudette 


Thanks to our kindergarten and grade one classrooms for collecting 100 (or more!) items for Lenore's Pantry!
