Celebrations and Goodbyes

Image
This week was full of celebrations and the start of goodbyes. However, it was dominated by our farewell celebrations for our 8th graders! Regardless of whether the student has been with us for 6 months or 9 years, they have become family. On Wednesday, we celebrated with a Commencement at the High School. A special thank you to the parent volunteers who decorated and to the PTA for a banner that will surely become a staple at events to come. There were awards, certificates, and a ton of smiles. We followed it up on Thursday by "clapping out" our 8th graders before they attended their semi-formal dance at Harrington Farms. Again, this was made possible by the 8th-grade parent planning committee and their fundraising. And finally, today, the 8th graders attended Six Flags! What a week! This class will definitely be missed!  It wasn't all about 8th grade though. On Wednesday, we also said goodbye for the summer to our youngest learners, the kindergarten. We sent them off in

6.5!

Thank you to the STEAM night planning committee and to Mrs. Chapalonis for chairing the committee!  Congratulations to our Basket winners!  K Basket - Pam Grimaldi  1st grade - Jules Moynihan  2nd grade - Crystal Courville 3rd grade - Mike Lynch  4th grade - Betsy Chase 5th grade - The Burwell family 6th grade - Jake Roczniak 7th/8th grade - Dan Hollis Staff basket - Kelsey Riberio Cruiser ride with cruiser - Melissa Finkler I want to remind everyone that Tuesday the 11th is the town meeting.
