5/20/2019 0 Comments May 20-25Dear families, What a memorable week! First, Ms. Pelletier and Mr. Beyer's 7th and 8th grade students hosted a cultural bazaar. This event provided an opportunity for our students to learn about spanish and latin speaking countries. Thursday, Mr. Bean and Mr. Murdock conducted our lower school during a spectacular Spring Concert. Our week culminated with a glorious celebration of Blue and Gray day! Thanks to Ms. Furtado (and the perfect weather), we enjoyed a full day of organized activities including potato sack races, fill the bucket-water challenges, wheelbarrow races, water balloon tosses, and hula hoop tosses. Let us not forget our tug-of-war matches! The students enjoyed the full day of outdoor activities, especially teaming up with their second grade friends. Next week, we will have our last All School Meeting for the year. The first grade Bookworm Celebration will follow this meeting. They have completed their projects in class and are eager to present to you. We look forward to seeing you there. Have a great long weekend. Seema Curriculum Highlights Mathematics
