PWS Families,
Aren’t children great! In our adventures this week we were sitting next to some of our fourth
graders who were discussing how they were going to get a Ph.D when they grow up, while
in the same breath talking about how excited they were to join the BHS soccer team.
Children’s thoughts are amazing!

This morning the students enjoyed their extra 20 minutes of recess. While it was a bit brisk,
it seemed like everyone enjoyed it. Thank you to all the students who turned out to take part
in the Kids Vote this past Tuesday. Despite the weather, PWS had the largest turnout of
students taking part in the vote. Great job and thank you all for your support.

Last Day of School now June 20
The Superintendent announced at Monday's Board Meeting that the last day of school for
students is June 20 (as of now). He had a conversation with the NHDOE about the two days
we missed school due to the Halloween wind storm this year. Given the circumstances of the
storm and our school calendar, we will not have to have students make up those two days at
the end of the year.
