I hope that you all had a fabulous week! For us, it is true what they say - time flies when you are having fun! For those who may not be aware, this week was Teacher and School Nurse Appreciation Week. Please join me in thanking the fabulous teachers and school nurse we have here at Dale Street. I feel very proud and privileged to work every day with the most caring, intelligent, and dedicated staff. They blow me away with all the things they do for our students every single day.
On Monday, I had the pleasure of visiting Ms. Condon's fifth grade class to watch the students reenact the Boston Massacre trial. They did a wonderful job!
Are you looking for a place to travel this summer? How about someplace in the southeast region? Ms. DiPesa'a fourth grade students created brochures to help with your decision on where to go!
