Dear PWS Families,
Dear PWS Families,
Our reading challenge month has begun. There has been so much positive feedback. Children have shared they are going home and choosing to read for an hour or more! Please make sure to fill out the reading logs in your passbooks. Take good care of them and when they are completed you can turn them in on March 31 for a Seussical Surprise! On Wednesday, we celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday. Many students wore Dr. Seuss items or dressed as Dr. Seuss characters. Please see Cindy Lou Who below..
We are looking forward to the Father/ Daughter Dance this evening from 6:00-8:00. We can’t wait to see all our girls, dressed in their finest, enjoy some very special time with their fathers.
PWS Happenings
IT TAKES HEART TO BE A HERO! Our Jump Rope for Heart event kicked off this week with a visit from the Jump Rope for Heart demo team, The Hip Hoppin' Hawks. In Physical Education class students watched a video about a Heart Hero, Bran, who is 11 years old and was born with a heart condition called Pulmonary Atresia. Thanks to the children who have raised donations for the American Heart Association in the past Bran was able to have surgery to help his heart. Mrs. Ferenc also discussed heart disease with each class to help students understand why they are raising money for the American Heart Association. Collection envelopes are going home this week (March 1-4) and must be returned by Friday, March 25. Students can fundraise online if they wish, which is much easier and more efficient. We are encouraging the students to make web pages by visiting heart.org/jump and search for Peter Woodbury School using city and state. Join our schools's team and set up your own Web page to email family and friends.
Last year PWS raised $13,087 Please help us beat our new goal of 13,200!
In the past, students were able to earn duckies from their donations. This year they will be able to earn doggies as displayed by our lovely model below:

Bedford School District Vote on Tuesday March 8 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
All voters in Bedford are urged to vote on Tuesday, March 8 from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m at the Bedford High School gymnasium
. These are the key issues to be decided:
- OPERATING BUDGET: The proposed operating budget is $68.3M, a 3.9% increase over this year. The increase is primarily due to personnel, health insurance benefits, and significant building maintenance. If the proposed budget is voted down, the default budget would be $2.3M lower.
- SIDEWALK: There is separate article to fund the construction of a sidewalk along Nashua Road from the Bedford High School lower parking lot to the Department of Public Works parking lot. The cost would be $234,000.
- CAPITAL RESERVES: There are two separate articles about our unused capital reserve funds. One article would discontinue them. The other would re-purpose those same funds for a building maintenance reserve. The total amount as of June 30, 2015 was $478,518. Together these two article would have no tax impact.
- Additional information can be found here.
The total estimated tax impact of a "yes" vote on all articles would be $0.66 per thousand, which would be an increase of $198 for the year on a $300,000 home.
