Q2 Progress Reports Coming Home Friday 12/14

Hello everyone,

   Just a quick update that 2nd quarter progress reports were sent home with your child this past Friday 12/14. Please take the time to review your child's progress report with them over the weekend and discuss areas they have done well, areas for improvement, and developing plans for improving their work for the remainder of the 2nd quarter.
   Please also sign the sheet stating you have seen the progress report and send this back through your child to their homeroom teacher. If you lose the sheet you may send along a hand-written note or an email to your child's homeroom teacher saying you have in fact seen the progress report.

    Signed confirmation of progress reports are due back through your child by Wednesday December 19th.

8th Grade Community Service Day

Thank you to everyone for helping to make our community service day a great success!  Through the hard work of our 8th graders, the generous donations of our families and the dedication of our staff, we were able to prepare 10 meals for local families who are need.  Students baked cookies, brownies and corn bread during our house block today and each 8th grade homeroom prepared the meals during our homeroom period this morning.  It was truly a team effort - Congratulations to all!

During our house block this morning we continued our community service by writing letters and making cards for soldiers serving our country. Forty eighth graders visited Loker School, read stories to Kindergarteners, and assisted in the classrooms.  Fifteen senior residents from Sunrise Assisted Living and Traditions visited our school for a social hour that included games, BINGO and story telling.  Three hundred sandwiches were made and then donated to the Salvation Army in Framingham.  Finally, students crafted origami boxes which will be donated to children in the hospital.  It is hard to believe all of this was accomplished in one hour!

Each and every 8th grader played an important role in today's event and for this we are very thankful.  We are hopeful that it was a rewarding experience for everyone.  Enjoy the weekend.
