It's been another great week at Dale Street!
Thank you to all the families who were able to join us for the first Positive Referral breakfast of the 2016-2017 school year. The Food Service department provided coffee, juice, and a variety of delicious treats for everyone to enjoy. Thank you to them for all of their hard work organizing this event. Lastly, a huge thank you to all of the students who continue to demonstrate outstanding character. We are so proud of you for making such great choices each and every day!
The Dale Street School participated in Hour of Code this week. Students had the opportunity to participate in a variety of computer programming activities. To view some of the exciting things that the students were involved with, please visit code.org.
The Dale Street Student Advisory Council met this morning. We were lucky to have former Dale Street student and current Medfield High School senior, Makayla D. visit our meeting. Dale Street will be working with Makayla over the next week to create cards for active soldiers and/or soldiers being treated at Walter Reed Medical Center. The specifics for the cards are:
*Written on 8 1/2 x 11 paper
*Just include first name (no personal information)
*Some possible ideas: draw holiday items, thank you for your service, get well soon, stay strong, stay safe, happy holidays
*Students can make more than one card if they want
*Cards are due back to school by Thursday, December 15th
Participation is voluntary.
