Hello Dale Street!


What an amazing and exciting week here at #beproudbedale.  Take a minute to scroll through to check it out.  


We had our Final Competition for the 2018-2019 Geo Bee on Thursday morning.  All 18 contestants did a remarkable job!  Congratulations to all of you for making the final round.










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



This week, students in Ms. Costello's fifth grade class tackled decimal operations with an escape room.  The whole class broke out!  What awesome young learners! 


It was great to have students from Medfield High School here yesterday to share valuable life lessons through the use of picture books.  Special thanks to Library Media Specialist, Mrs. Cowell, and HS teacher, Mrs. Lohan, for organizing this great event!

Thanks to Will in Mrs. Crable's class for reading today's book recommendation.  Will recommended I survived the Eruption of Mount Helens 1980 by Lauren Tarshis for "someone who likes I Survived and who likes reading about life-threatening books."  Will  rated this book '1,000,000 stars!'  Thanks Will!


Check out the PTO update.  Next PTO meeting will be held at Dale St on January 11 at 9:30.


Thank you to everyone who participated in the Flea Market.  There were so many great items for sale and a lot of enthusiastic shoppers.  The Flea Market raised $3,579.38 for the Medfield Home Committee. Wow!  Thank you to all of the students, families, and staff who supported this wonderful cause. #compassion 



Students in Mrs. Scott's fourth grade class spent time this week finishing up their mythology unit by participating in reader's theater.  




A HUGE thank you to our incredible PTO and all the parent volunteers for organizing an amazing holiday luncheon last Wednesday.   The food was delicious!  We are grateful for your support every single day!    
Congratulations to Warren and Jack for winning December's Math Challenge Raffle.  
Students in Mrs. Crable's fourth grade classroom took our MCPE funded Pro-Bots for a spin this week as they participated in an Hour of Code coding activity.  #talentedstudents





Special thanks to the Medfield High School music students who visited Dale Street today to spread some holiday cheer.  These groups were outstanding!







Winter is here!  Please make sure your children come to school dressed appropriately for the cold weather.  Students will have recess OUTSIDE if the 'feels like' temperature is 20 or above.  Hats, gloves and coats are strongly encouraged. 


All of us at Dale Street would like to wish you and your family the happiest of holidays.  There will be no school for students on Monday, December 24, 2018, through Tuesday, January 1, 2019. Students will return to school on Wednesday, January 2, 2019.




Enjoy the well-deserved winter break and we will see you in the New Year! 

Warm regards,

Steve
