Dear PWS Families,
Somehow a 60 degree Monday turned to a 10 degree Friday, throw a little snow in the middle and I guess that's just a typical January in New Hampshire. This week was a good reminder that the weather can change quite dramatically, even in one day. Please make sure your child comes prepared for whatever Mother Nature may throw at us.
We are getting excited for next week's PTG Principals' Winter Read and for Family Fun Night in a few weeks. Please be sure to read below for more information about both of these fun night events.
Today, we held our National Geographic Geography Bee for fourth graders. Representatives of each class faced tough questions about American and international geography. Congratulations to all that participated and made it to today's round. When it was all said and done, Sumedh Godavarthy from Mrs. Marshall's class was crowned the 2020 Peter Woodbury School Geography Bee Champion. Congratulations Sumedh and to the runner up, Caroline Space. You all make us so proud! Thank you Mrs. Speaker for coordinating this event.
Finally, student report cards are now available on the Powerschool Parent Portal. For a reminder about how to access this portal please click HERE.
Have a Great Long Weekend,
Cheryl Daley, Principal
Dan Mitchell, Assistant Principal

PWS Family Fun Night 2020
Peter Woodbury School invites you to our annual Family Fun Night on Thursday, February 6th (with a snow day of Thursday, February 20th). Our theme this year will be Taking Care of Mind, Body, and Each Other. Games and activities, for all ages, will be offered throughout the school for students and families to engage in and have fun.
As always, each classroom will donate a unique theme basket to raffle off that night. Our popular teacher raffle will be there too! Advanced sale of these raffle tickets are discounted and sold as three blocks for $10.00. The night of the event we will sell the tickets for $5.00 a block. The Book Walk will be held in the Multipurpose Room ($1 per ticket). The Book Walk is set up on the idea of musical chairs. Kids will walk around in a circle and try to be on a circle when the music stops. We are also selling 50/50 tickets. Fifty percent of the money raised through this raffle will go directly back to the winner!
Pizza, salad, ice cream, and water will be served. We advise families to purchase food tickets in advance. This will guarantee your food and water selections. Food will not be available to purchase the night of the event. If you would like to purchase food tickets, raffle tickets, book walk tickets, or 50/50 tickets please fill out the attached order form and return it to school no later than Wednesday, January 29th.
Important Note: Pre-ordered tickets will NOT be sent home this year. ALL tickets will be picked up that night.
