November 22, 2017 - Week 13

Greetings Dale Street Community,


Last Friday, the fifth grade students had a blast at the Grade 5 Kids' Night Out.  The students participated in games and dancing during this wonderful PTO sponsored event.  A big thank you to all of the parent volunteers for organizing and supervising this fantastic night. Here are some snapshots of the evening.....


Positive Referral!!!
These students received a Positive Referral this week for their efforts to be compassionate, respectful and responsible.  #WeAreProudofYou!




The Dale Street Makerspace was recently included in the book The Kickstart Guide to Making Great Makerspaces by Laura Fleming.  What an honor for our school!  Special thanks to Mrs. Cowell and our very supportive and generous MCPE and PTO! 
Ms. Warner (School Guidance Counselor) and Ms. Strekalovsky (School Psychologist) have been visiting Grade 4 classrooms recently to share our mindfulness lessons. The focus of their lessons has been empathy.  Ms. W. & Ms. S. will visit all Grade 5 classrooms during the month of December where they will focus on decision making.  
Thank you, Mrs. S. & Ms. W!  







The Dale Street student body will continue its Global Giving initiative after Thanksgiving with our Collation for Courage Craft Sale (11/28-11/30).  Crafts will cost between $3-$15. Check out the student-created episode 3 (link below) giving students and their families more information about Global Giving and the Coalition for Courage. 



We are moving closer to winter and it sure has been a little colder.  Please be sure that your children are wearing appropriate, seasonal clothing and have coats, hats, mittens, etc….as they will be going outside for recess on most days.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.


On Tuesday, the Dale Street School had a "Lucky Plate Day" at each lunch.  Congratulations to Molly, Jake and Charlotte for winning this month's "Lucky Plate"!





Check out the PTO update, including information on Grade 5 yearbooks, Winter Carnival and more.
