Family Fun Night
Dear Families,
We hope you have marked your calendars for our Family Fun Night (FFN) which will be held February 15, 2017! Planning for our fun filled night is "STEAM-ing" along. Our student-designed t-shirts have become a tradition! The students love having an investment in the night and seeing their work worn by their peers and PWS families. To help offset the cost of the t-shirts this year, we welcome the financial support from businesses/corporation affiliated with PWS families. In turn, we would love to advertise your company's name on the back of the student designed shirts. Please click HERE to learn more. Stayed tuned for more FFN info!!!

From the Art Room
Classes have been busy and excited. First graders recently completed paper weavings and are now working on a collaged pair of matching (or not) socks. Second and third grade have finished one of their two pieces that will be in our spring art show. Fourth grade is in the middle of a weaving project. Art Club members are working on STEAM based centerpieces, using their art and engineering brain, for Family Fun Night. A new exhibit from PWS has gone up in the district office. Click to see the PWS artists whose work is displayed this quarter. Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who have helped these past few weeks!
Math and Science Volunteers
Are you looking for ways to volunteer in the classrooms? Please consider signing up to help us with math and science activities. CLICK HERE for more information.
Ecosmith Recycle Bins for Destination Imagination
Did you know that every school in the district has an Ecosmith Recycle Bin? This is a great way to donate/recycle old clothes, while helping raise funds for our teams who advance to Global Finals each year. You can put any kind of fabrics in these bins, towels and stuffed animals too. Ripped shirts and pants with holes are fine, as well as well worn shoes. Bedford DI greatly appreciates your continued participation in this program.
Engineer Volunteers
We are looking for a few engineer volunteers to help a PWS student get a prosthetic hand. We are teaming with students at the Academy of Science and Design in Nashua who will meet every Monday from 3:30-4:30. They are establishing a chapter of the E-Nable Organization and will be utilizing 3D printing to make prosthetics. Their hope is to make a prosthetic for any child in NH who may be in need of one. Please contact Mr. Mitchell (mitchelld@sau25.net) if you are interested or have any questions.
