Dear PWS Families,
Last Night's Family Fun Night was a huge success. It was great to see so many families come back to school and enjoy Yoga, snowflake making, book walks, raffles, pizza, and reading activities. When the night was done raffle winners were called, much ice cream and pizza was enjoyed, and the school raised over $6,000. Thank you to everyone who made this night so successful.
We hope you all have a wonderful and restful vacation. We are excited to see what March has in store for us.
Have a Great Vacation,
Cheryl Daley, Principal
Dan Mitchell, Assistant Principal

From the PWS Library
February Vacation is a great time for students to read for fun. Whether you’re staying here in NH or traveling, we’d love to see students reading over their break. Send us a photo of your child reading while on vacation and we’ll create a display here in the library. We will also create a slideshow and link it on the library blog. Please email a picture to Mrs. Baldi at baldia@sau25.net. Let’s see how far our books travel!

Intelligent Lives (Film)
Intelligent Lives is a film by New Hampshire’s own Dan Habib. The film stars three young American adults with Intellectual Disabilities who challenge the perception of intelligence as they find their way through high school, college and the workforce. This film questions what it means to be intelligent and points to a future in which people of all abilities can participate in higher education, meaningful employment, and personal relationships.
Bedford School District, in partnership with Amherst School District, Merrimack School District, Manchester School District, the Bedford PTG, and St. Anselm’s Meelia Center, will be hosting a screening of the film on March 31, 2020 at 6:30 PM in the Bedford High School theatre. Following the film, there will be a question and answer session led by the filmmaker, Dan Habib.
