SIDEWALK REPAIRS – PLEASE ENTER AND EXIT BUILDING THROUGH DOORS NEAR CAFETERIA

 

Dear Moose,

It was such fun seeing the wonderful assortment of costumes and words that adorned students and teachers today! Our 4th annual Vocabulary Costume Day was a success! Eclectic, aviator, resilient, delectable, nobility, nocturnal, metamorphosis, compassionate, impersonator, retro, and bioluminescent were some of the amazing words that were displayed. How great to have walking dictionaries in the school for the day! Thanks to the teachers and families for supporting this tradition.

I want to give a special shout out to Jessica Carlson-Belanger for her time, energy and effort to motivate students to participate in the Moose on the Move Club. Over 30 students participated in this after school opportunity. Several staff members have also been huge supports to supervising this club. Mr Carra offered some extra running/walking time on Monday mornings and  Nurse Katie has been behind the scenes with organization and tracking of laps. This club was a great motivator to use our new track and to encourage walking and running! THANK YOU.

Conferences occurred this week. It felt great to see so many family members in the building. We continue with conferences next week on Wednesday and Thursday. Students will be dismissed at 1:00 on Thursday to accommodate this. 

Next week we will also have repairs to the front sidewalk. A memo was sent to families regarding this earlier this week. On Thursday and Friday of next week all students and families need to enter and exit through the side kitchen door. Buses will also drop off and pick up at this door. 

Have a great weekend. November starts next week!

Jackie

***MOOSE INTERVIEW OF THE WEEK***

Lloyd from 1st Grade!


LS

JCB:  What is your favorite thing to do at school?
LS:  Look at a book.  Look at books that I brought from home.

JCB:  What is your favorite lunch?
LS:  Breakfast for lunch!

JCB:  What is your favorite thing to do at home?
LS:  Do video games.  Like walk around a world and destroy stuff in Mindcraft.

JCB:  If you could be any animal what animal would you be?
LS:  If I was any animal I would pick a deer because deers do get hunted, but deers are very fast, and it would be fun being a deer.

JCB:  Is there anything you’re looking forward to at school this year?
LS:  Maybe getting a new mascot? 

JCB:  Did you think we were going to change our moose mascot?
LS:  Probably not.

JCB:  Is there anything else you’d like the Shutesbury community to know about you?  What is interesting about you?
LS:  I have a lot of skills.  Flipping skills and stuff like that – I can do flips. I can do front handsprings. I can do rolls. 

Lloyd chose to have his photo taken outside.  Photo credit to Martina Dooley-Carvalho.

 



 

***MOOSE ON THE MOVE NEWS***

 

Moose On the Move Mileage Update! 

Many students and adults have logged a large amount of miles so far this year.  These are combined miles from PE class, recess, extra recess, walking field trips, and the official Moose on the Move Club (after school and before school).  The following children have hit 10 miles already and were recognized with an incentive prize at today’s all-school assembly!  Within the next few weeks we are sure that more students will hit their 10-mile mark and also be eligible for a prize at assembly.  We’ll keep you updated in the Roadtown News.  See the flyer for the Moose on the Move Session 2 in this week’s Roadtown.

An adequate supply of calcium is necessary to build and maintain strong, healthy bones.

Yet some foods increase our calcium needs and others inhibit its uptake, while others actually steal it from our teeth and bones. To cut through calcium confusion and discover delicious ways to nourish your bones, join Leslie Cerier for this fun and informative hands on vegetarian cooking class.
