The rain today had the students inside for recess so you can expect some extra energy at home.

We can tell that you all had an active Labor Day weekend as the students came back sleepy on Tuesday. It has been a busy week at PWS as things have started to pick up at PWS now that routines have been established. The children are amazing. We noticed two Kindergarten students greeting each other this morning as they were being dropped off. They were so eager to see each other as they said, "Good Morning." A couple of first graders wanted to get married. Second graders were playing I-Spy at lunch. An excited third grader told us it was her father's birthday. Mrs. Daley and Mr. Robitaille enjoyed their time this week meeting with third and fourth grade classrooms to introduce the new Google Jamboard with Mrs. Cassamassino. Those classes have been using our new technology to discuss community. Teachers and students are also working hard to get the building prepared for Open House next week. (More information below.) Please take a few minutes to read upcoming dates and information below. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent;

font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It was a very very eventful week at PWS as the school year is beginning to wrap up. Our fourth graders enjoyed Egg Day on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week as they tested their egg carriers in a number of different situations. Eggs were dropped from ladders, flung from a fire truck ladder, smashed with bats, and squashed with a sledge hammer. In the end we had six students make it through the two days with their eggs in one piece. We would like to thank the fourth grade team and the Bedford Fire Department for their assistance in making these days memorable. We were very proud of and impressed by all of the “eggcellent” designs! The school also celebrated field day today and it was certainly a hit. Students in grades one through four went outside to participate in a number of exciting relays and activities to help wrap up the year. Thank you Mrs. Ferenc for all of the planning and preparation and thank you to all of our awesome parent volunteers. Please take a moment to read about end of the year updates from our school and district.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PWS News:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Last Day: </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A reminder that our last day of school is Friday, June 11th.

Our fourth graders all got a chance to participate in Lego Day this week. Students worked in small groups to create some engineering designs with legos and computer coding. Other grade levels in the school got to participate in building Wiggle Bots. Students built simple machine designs that operated off the power of a battery. It was wonderful to see all of the engineering designs that the students came up with this week. Please take a moment to see all that is going on at PWS and around the district. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PWS News:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Last Day: </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A reminder that our last day of school is Friday, June 11th.

The school welcomed some special guests as Miss Allen’s third grade class is incubating duck eggs over the next few weeks. Everyone is very excited about watching the progress of the eggs and the eventual hatching. Miss Thissell’s third grade class also had special guests to review their tiny house projects. Our guests or “clients” were very pleased with the hard work that the students put in to design these special tiny homes. Next week our school will be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week. We are excited to see all the fun activities that have been planned for our amazing staff. Please take a moment to read about all that is going on at our school and the Bedford School District. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;

Our fourth graders also got to watch their jump rope performances on video at lunch. Thank you Mrs. Ferenc for putting together a great experience for our jumpers. Several classes in second grade had the opportunity to build sail cars and test how far the wind could carry them down the hallway. The students were very excited to show off their inventive ideas. We would like to wish everyone a safe and happy April vacation. We look forward to seeing everyone in a week and finishing the school year with some great memories. Please take a minute to read about all that is going on at PWS and in the school district. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PWS News:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For Parents of Remote 3rd and 4th Graders:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Art supplies from Mrs. Piantedosi for the lesson that will be posted on 5/3 will be available for pick up on Friday 4/23 and throughout vacation in the PWS vestibule.

From now until the end of May, you can donate all of your old pairs of shoes, boots, sneakers, heels etc and purses/bags (no flip flops or cleats). Ecosmith no longer accepts old shoes that cannot be reworn or broken zippers. It is important that the special blue or green bags are used and these can be found in the school vestibule, OR through our DI Coordinator, Marie Russell. You can deposit the bags directly into the bin in the school parking lot. Note: if your bag is too full, it will not fit in the slot. Also, if you find the bin full, please let Mrs. Russell know. We would also like to remind you that clothing, fabrics, stuffed animals, etc. can always be donated year round in this bin. As always, Bedford DI appreciates your support.

Our fourth grade students began SAS testing this week and did great. As always they made us proud as they put their best effort forward. First, Second and Third graders began their Gates assessments. It was great to see some of our remote learners come to PWS for this testing. We sure had missed seeing them in the building. Please be reminded that April vacation is coming up and there will be no school from April 26th-April 30th. Classes will resume on Monday, May 3rd. There are some important notes in today’s Principal News, if possible, please take some time to review what is going on around our school and district. Thank you for your continued support.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PWS News:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">BSD Mask Policy:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Please take a moment to read this </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FatKJDeO5v_scIbf1g7BKXAazjfcrHw1sDvkLvYp1a8/edit?usp=sharing" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">LETTER</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> from the SAU. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">American Heart Association:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thank you all for your donations to the American Heart Association.

It was another exciting and engaging week at Peter Woodbury as many teachers and students had a chance to celebrate some fun pranks for April Fool's Day. Mrs. Sylvain’s class came up with a silly one. Students misled staff members into thinking they were receiving a yummy brownie. However, what they really received was a brown letter “E.” The students were still talking about this April Fools joke today. Another one was when staff facilitated students changing classrooms so the classroom teachers came in to a different class. The students loved it! While there was indeed fun and games this week at PWS the work continued in our classrooms as quarter three came to an end today. Please be reminded that quarter three report cards will be available next Friday, April 9th at 2:45pm. We appreciate your continued support as we head into the last quarter of the 2020-21 school year. Please take some time to read about all that is going on around PWS and the district.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PWS NEWS:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2020-2021 Yearbook Sales:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PWS Yearbooks are on Sale Now!

Some fun stories for this week... A Kindergarten student told Mrs. Daley that he was running around the classroom because he was “Sleepwalking.” Mr. Robitaille went into a first grade classroom to talk about self control. He went to show how to use tools and deep breathing to calm our bodies down. Mrs. Daley went to talk to some second grade students about their behavior during recess. When she knelt down to get at eye level with them the children knelt down as well….so sweet. In a third grade classroom we participated in a division game with a group of students. It was so endearing how they helped each other find matching cards. Fourth graders showed kindness by helping the younger students get to their classrooms in the morning. We love working with your children. Thank you for sharing them with us!</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 30pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PWS News: </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 30pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">NHPIE Rock Star Award:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 30pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PWS is very excited an announce that our very own Mrs. Cassamassino was selected as a 2020 NHPIE Granite State Rock Star.
