NO SCHOOL.  Winter Break!

  

Hello Moose!
What a strange week of school!  Winter has set in with frigid weather and snow days!  We attempt to go outside for recess if it's above 12 degrees with the wind chill so please bundle up your children in the mornings.  Although the forecast for next week is in the 50’s!  Lovely New England... 

The fifth and sixth grades ventured to the UMass Fine Arts Center this week to see the Harriet Tubman musical.  We are very lucky that our students are able to take advantage of the 5 local college programs and attend these interesting and educational events.  Next week we will host the author, Natasha Lowe, who wrote the Poppy Pendle series!  What a treat!!

Next Thursday the PTO will be hosting a fundraiser at Quarters in Hadley.  From 5-8pm you can buy a wristband to play all of their vintage games and support the PTO at the same time.  Thanks to Carrie Hawkins and the PTO for organizing this fun event.

Mark your calendars for Winter Break from Monday Feb. 18 - Friday Feb. 22.  

Best,

Jackie

Thanks to Matt Foster for keeping our track clear of snow!!  He has been keeping up with it after each snowfall and it’s much appreciated.  And thanks to all the motivated Moose for joining us during this very cold and slippery session of Moose on the Move! 

We (students/staff) ran and walked 203 miles in January!!  Way to go, Moose!  We have gone 1,360 miles total this school year!!  That is like traveling by foot from Shutesbury to Kansas City, Missouri.  Whoa! 

We’d also like to recognize some staff members who have been putting in a lot of miles outside of school time!  Mr. Peelle has racked up 161 miles this school year and Laura, 5th grade teacher, has racked up 93 miles!!  Staff who complete miles during the school day will be recognized with awards at assembly.  Thanks for your support!
