DC Night Thank you

Hello everyone,


  On behalf of all the cluster teachers we would like to give out a big THANK YOU for taking the time to come to the middle school for D.C. Night. It is a chance for all of us to celebrate, reflect, and look back on the culminating experience for our 8th graders in their middle school career. We hope that the slideshow brought back fond memories for the students and gave you as parents a glimpse of their time in D.C. From their poems and portfolios we hope you also got a glimpse of the power of your child's ability to reflect and think deeply about the monuments, memorials, and social moments of the trip. Again thank you for your support for the trip and also for coming to enjoy D.C. night with all of us!

  We also want to thank everybody for their generosity with our bake sale fundraiser for the Matthew Pucino Memorial Foundation.We were floored by the excitement, bustling and generosity in the main lobby at D.C. night. We are in awe of the generosity of the community for such a meaningful cause. We were able to raise over $1600 with our bake sale fundraiser for the foundation. This will be presented to Matthew's family and in particular his mother, when they visit with the 8th graders in June as a donation on behalf of the entire 8th grade house (parents, teachers and the students). We will have more details about their visit in a few weeks as we put that day together.  Parents will also be invited to attend the special ceremony with the Pucino's if they wish.

Thanks again for a special evening!
