Thank you to all the parents for your continued efforts in making the Shawsheen a great place. I have noticed lots of volunteers in the building helping out in the computer lab, library and supporting our PAC fundraisers. This month according to our Whoos reading through the PAC the students have read a total of 55,916 minutes. That is great!
Some other exciting news is that beginning in November, our new Shawsheen student leaders group will get started with grade three student volunteers. This is taking place of student council and all students were invited to participate. We are also going to be doing a Mock Election on Monday for all students. The purpose of this is to give them an opportunity to experience the voting process.
Tuesday is a Professional Development day and NO School for students. On Thursday we will be having an All School Meeting where we will revisit recess/playground rules and share student work around Veterans Day. Friday is no school in honor of Veterans Day.
Today we also had a practice evacuation drill and it went great. Students followed all the appropriate procedures and listened to their teachers and staff. We will be scheduling an ALICE practice drill for later in November.
