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)
