January News

Good Afternoon,

Thank you to all our families and staff for all the many contributions over the past months. Between Festival of Trees, Donations for Wilmington Families, and donations for the PAC fundraisers, it has been much appreciated. Please be sure to check the PAC's Facebook page and web page for upcoming events such as Trivia Night on March 22nd. I know it sells out fast!

This month we have many exciting things happening in the school. Rob Surette is coming in on Monday for an enrichment program for all students. This should be very exciting. Rob has traveled around the world exploring education through his art. This is his you tube video link below https://t.co/zSCwvtGGMc.

On Friday we will be having our All School Meeting where we will continue to discuss upcoming events, PBIS and an incentive for filling up our Piggy School Bank from the PAC. Thank you so much for any families who have sent in bags of coins. The students are having a blast handing them in and filling the piggy bank up.  Please have students wear their Shawsheen t-shirts or Shawsheen gear on Friday for the All School Meeting!

Also in January we will be having our first Grade 1 music informances. The notice has been sent out to families from Ms. Rene on what this is. Ms. Rene in accordance with the music department is excited to try this out with students and families this year. We hope to see families attend their child's session in January and there will be an opportunity to provide feedback to Ms. Rene.

Just a few reminders that it is getting cold out there and we do go out for recess unless it is in the warning zone on our weather guide. Please be sure students come in properly dressed with warm jackets, hats and gloves. Also, if any families need any extra jackets, hats or gloves please let me know. We always keep extras here and are happy to confidentially supply whatever families may need.

For grade 3 families, information about MCAS dates and background information will be sent out in the next week or so. 

Please see the back for upcoming dates.

Wishing everyone a healthy and happy January!


Mrs. King
