Dear PWS Families,
It was great to have so many families come and visit our Open House last night. Once the doors were opened, it was a non stop flow of energy and excitement. Thank you also to anyone who stopped by the Book Fair over the past few days. In the end, we raised over $6,000 that will go right back into the school. Over the 5 days, there were 645 sales. Thank you to the many volunteers who ended up putting in over 200 hours to make this happen. A special thank you goes to Kerri Sullivan, Boom Belair, and Sarah Croteau for organizing this event.
Our School Counselor works tirelessly to address the needs of the students here at Peter Woodbury. I addition to working with students in small groups and individually, she also gets around to do whole class lessons as well. Recently, she has been working with the students about kindness. Please check out her website and subscribe to her blog to get up to date information about School Counseling at PWS. Mrs. Clark's Website
International Dot Day inspired the students and teachers to be creative and design their own dots. The bulletin board shows the beauty of our creations when we all come together. "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds brought great conversations to all classrooms about the power of "yet". It allowed teachers to discuss the concept of Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset and that instead of saying, "I'm not good at..." we should say, "I'm not good at...yet." The "YET" shows we are working hard at the skill and have a growth mindset.
 
Have a Great Weekend,
Cheryl Daley, Principal
Dan Mitchell, Assistant Principal
