December 23, 2016 - Week 17

Happy Friday Dale Street Families,

What an exciting week!  Take a minute to check out some of the awesome things that took place at Dale Street this week.



We had our Final Competition for the 2016-2017 Geo Bee on Thursday morning.  All 17 contestants did a remarkable job!  Congratulations to all of you for making the final round.



Congratulations to Carl from Mr. Douglas' class for winning this year's Geo Bee. Carl will now take an online exam with a chance to join the state competition, eventually the national competition and a chance to win a $50,000 college scholarship and a trip sponsored by National Geographic!



Mrs. Crable's class participated in number talks this week.  

The Holiday Mall and the Holiday Flea Market were incredible successes this week at the Dale Street School. These events both benefit the Medfield Home Committee.  I am honored to report that these two events raised $2,648!  Wow!  Thank you to all of the students, families, and staff who supported this wonderful cause.  

















Congratulations to our raffle winners!

Congratulations and great job to the Dale Street Bands!  On Monday, the fourth and fifth grades bands performed for their family and guests.  The music was fantastic and all of the attendees enjoyed the performance.  Thank you to Mr. Dexter and Mr. Murphy for their outstanding leadership.

This week students in Ms. Condon's and Ms. Curran's/Hacker's classes read the story "Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot" (about the true story of the Candy Bomber, Lt. Halvorsen who began "Operation Vittles" - dropping candy to kids living in West Berlin during the Berlin Airlift). 

Students made their our own candy parachutes and reenacted the Candy Drop.  
What a cool activity!



Great excitement in Ms. Isaacson's fourth grade class as they received their first pen pal letters this week.  




Congratulations to Dale Street Library/Media Specialist, Mrs. Kerry Cowell for becoming Medfield's first teacher to be Level 1 Google Certified!  We are very proud of you!  
Happy Holidays from the Dale Street School! We hope that you enjoy some time with your family and friends during the break from school.  There will be no school for students on Monday, December 26, 2016, through Monday, January 2, 2017. Students will return to school on Tuesday, January 3, 2017. 

Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2017!

Yours truly,
Steve
