Last Friday, the fifth grade students were made to feel like stars at the Grade 5 Hollywood Kids' Night Out party. The students participated in games and dancing during the event. A big thank you to Liz Dewar and all of the parent volunteers for organizing this fantastic night. Here is a snapshot of the evening.....
The Grade 5 Orchestra, under the direction of Mrs. Evans and Mr. Ruggiero, sounded amazing this afternoon!
Math Night is Coming!
On December 2, 2015, we will be holding a K-5 parent math information night from 6:30 p.m.- 8:30 p.m. at the Dale Street School. If you did not happen to see the notice that was sent out, you can view it here. We hope to see you there!
The Student Advisory Council has created a great way to spread cheer during this holiday season. The Dale Street School will be participating in a holiday card project.
Students in Grades 4 and 5 will be creating holiday cards for the soldiers. This project should be completed at home and is an optional project. Student Advisory Council representatives will be collecting created cards over the next few weeks and sending them to the office on Friday, December 4th.
The Student Advisory Council representatives will be sharing ideas with his/her classmates should you need any. Participants should use their first name only. If you have any questions, please see a Student Advisory Council representative, a Student Council Advisor (Mrs. Carey, Mrs. Vancura, Mr. Grenham), or your classroom teacher. As a reminder, all completed cards must be returned to school by Friday, December 4th. Please consider spreading some holiday cheer this year!
Although families may have a familiarity with standards-based grading, we will be offering parents the opportunity to come in, receive answers to some frequently asked questions, view the draft math insert, and ask their own questions. Parents are invited to come in on Wednesday, December 2nd at 9:00 AM or Wednesday, December 2nd at 6:00 PM.

THANK YOU FUND - Are you looking for a way to thank your child’s teacher? Make a contribution to their THANK YOU FUND! Anyone may contribute a financial gift to any teacher’s THANK YOU FUND. The teacher can use these funds to purchase books, games, supplies and other things for their classroom as needed. This is a great way to give your child’s teacher a little extra something that will benefit both the teacher and the children in their class. This is particularly useful for “specials” teachers that do not receive classroom gifts. This is all you need to do to contribute to a teacher’s THANK YOU FUND:
· Write a check payable to DALE STREET PTO with a note in the memo line designating which teacher’s fund you are contributing to
· Send the check to school in an envelope with your child and include Nancy Thomson’s name on the envelope
· You can also mail the check directly to Nancy Thomson at 52 Cypress Street
· You will be given a note that your child can give to their teacher letting them know you contributed to their fund or a note can be sent on your behalf
Please contact Dale Street Treasurer, Nancy Thomson nancyandgreg@comcast.net with any questions.

Mrs. Carey's Health classes have started research for a tobacco report. Today, students visited the technology lab to find facts regarding different types of tobacco.
I can't wait to see the reports!
From the Dale Street School Family to yours, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.
Enjoy the break!
As always, thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
Stephen S. Grenham, Principal
