Good Morning,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday break. We had been very busy filling our Thankful Turkeys and this month we will be working on kindness reindeer. Teachers will be adding antlers to the school reindeer when catching students doing kind-full acts. The students have also helped to decorate the Shawsheen Tree for the Festival of Tress this weekend by writing their favorite book or message on the tree.
Coming up in the next week is our parent/teacher conferences on December 8th which is an early release day. All doors will be locked on this day as our CARES program is still going on. Please be sure to use the front door when entering and exiting the building.
Our Shawsheen leaders club has been busy organizing all the lost and found items which are now located on the stage. They have also delivered any clothing with names on it to students or classrooms. Please take a look on the blog for any items that may look familiar. We will be donating the items in the next few weeks if not claimed.
Lastly, we have a Toys for Wilmington Children bin outside the office organized by the Wilmington Fire Department. Students can bring in unwrapped toys or donations up until December 12th. During parent/teacher conferences would also be a great time to bring these items in. In addition to all the other events we have our second grade concert on December 15th. More information will be sent out to second grade families. We have many events and dates coming up in December, please view the upcoming dates below. You can also view the Shawsheen calendar on our website for events and the Principal's blog for any updates.

November Updates
Happy November,
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.
Upcoming Dates:
11/8-no school (PD day for staff)
11/9-Harlem Superstars will visit Shawsheen and also hold an evening event at the high school.
11/10-all school meeting
11/11-no school Veterans Day
11/21-Second grade field trip
11/23-early release day
11/24-Thanksgiving Break
Thanks for all you do and have a great month,
Mrs. King
