PWS Families,

This week was full of fun, energy, and excitement. As the week wore on you could feel the energy of the students increase. It was great to see so many parents and families come in and celebrate with us, either as part of a classroom party or the fourth grade multicultural buffets. This morning's all school meeting was a great opportunity to celebrate the season and the acts of kindness over the past couple of weeks.

Finally, we want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Here's to 2019.

Have a Great Break,

Cheryl Daley (Principal)

PWS Families,
    The excitement of the weeks before vacation is always very high at an elementary school. One of the things we cherish is the sound of children singing holiday songs throughout the school. It has been great to see that excitement turn into some true and authentic learning opportunities with the students. Whether it is first graders working on Breakout sessions to rescue Rudolph or second graders diligently researching animal habitats, the students are engaged and working well.
      We received a thank you note this week from the Bedford High School students who coordinated the Halloween donation drive for UNICEF. Thanks to your generosity we were able to contribute $664.75.
     Speaking of donations, our Lost and Found area is teeming with items. All items remaining after December 21st will be donated to those in need. Please take a moment next week to check out this area and claim anything that may belong to your child. 
       Finally, we want to thank and give well wishes to our Student Teachers who have worked so hard with our students this semester. Thank you to Ashley Brand in Mrs. O'Rourke's class, Mary Theresa Whalen in Mrs. Beecher's class, and Daniel Espinoza in Mrs. Piantedosi's Art class. We know you are all on to great careers as educators.

Have a Great Weekend,

Cheryl Daley (Principal)
Dan Mitchell (Assistant Principal)

PWS Families,
      The response to our annual Food Drive has been extraordinary!  In just one week, we filled over five large containers of food and collected 3,283 items. This level of giving shows how amazing PWS families and students are. Thank you for your generosity and support.
      As the cold weather continues we are finding out Lost and Found growing by the day. If your child is missing something please take a moment and check our Lost and Found. We will be cleaning this area out over Vacation. It is highly recommended that you put your child's name on all hats, gloves, jackets, snow pants, boots, and any other items they may bring in. This will ensure that everything gets returned to their correct owner. 

Happy Hanukkah!

Dan Mitchell (Assistant Principal)
