Principal's Blog: October Updates :)

Good Morning Families,

We have had a very busy month so far. The third grade students went to the Middlesex Canal Field trip last week and they had the Owl enrichment program yesterday. The presenters have just released a new book called Owling and will send out a notice if any students would like to buy a copy and have it signed. Stay tuned for that letter. As a school we have had our Author Visit, Corey the Dribbler, Bus Safety and tomorrow we are having Fire Safety. The students did an incredible job with all of our enrichment programs by using our 3 R's.

Next week on Monday we will have our October All School Meeting. We will be talking about our Shawsheen leaders first community service project and reviewing lunchroom expectations on earning the pawsome picnic grounds. Students are all encouraged to wear their Shawsheen Shirts. Also, we have lots of lost and found clothes already piling up in the cafeteria. I have had students go through them for the past week. If your child is missing anything, feel free to come and take a look before or after school. At the end of the month we will be donating them.

We have Picture day coming up on the 29th and on the 31st we will have the annual WEF walk at 2:15. Students are welcome to bring in costumes or wear orange/black. All students will participate regardless of costumes. We ask no face paint or masks for the day. A letter from WEF is going home in the next day or so. We will walk around the building for about 20 minutes and families are welcome to walk with us or watch from the parking lot.

On November 2nd is the Winter Wonderland that is put on by our amazing PAC. This is a great event for families and one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. The PAC is still looking for donations for the bake sale and volunteers for any portion of the day. They have over 40 vendors coming and will have lots of raffles and a store were children can buy gifts for family members.

Please note on the calendar that we have NO school on November 5th for a staff professional development day.

We will also be doing a tree this year from the Shawsheen School for the Festival of Trees. We are still deciding on a theme so stay tuned!
