OAAs
Our third and fourth grade students have been focused on the OAAs -- the third grade completed their testing last week and the fourth grade is tackling them this week! Thanks to the PTO, our students have been receiving "Breakfast for Brains" on their testing days. This has been a great way for students to get energized for the tests while filling their bellies! Thank you to Jenny Circello and to all of the parent volunteers who have made these breakfasts possible!
Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week
As you know, this week is our Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week. Students have been showing their teachers their appreciation all week in a fun "Cinco de Mayo" way! Keep in mind that on Friday, May 9, students can celebrate "Fiesta Style" by wearing fun dress-up items including sombreros, hats, ponchos, mustaches, and necklaces.
Also, we are hosting a lunch for the teachers and staff on Friday. There are still a few opportunities left to contribute -- please check out the following link for more information -- Teacher and Staff Appreciation Luncheon. A big thanks to Heidi Pasqualetti and her committee for all of their hard work this week!
