December 20, 2019 - Week 17

Hello Dale Street!

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


We had our Final Competition for the 2019-2020 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 Ms. Sager's class for winning this year's Dale Street 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. Condon's fifth grade class had a chance to reenact a candy drop in honor of Lt. Gail Halvorsen.  Lt. Halvorsen gained fame for dropping candy to German children during the Berlin Airlift from 1948 to 1949.

Congratulations to our Math Challenge December raffle winners, Gavin and Luke.  

Way to go!




Thank you to Kiley for our book recommendation.  Kiley recommened Operation Frog Effect by Sarah Scheerger.  This book inspired Kiley to 'stand up for what I believe.'  Thanks, Kiley!


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 $3,275.24 for the Medfield Home Committee. Wow!  Thank you to all of the students, families, and staff who supported this wonderful cause. #compassion



Special thanks and congratulations to our 35 "Girls on the Run" intramural participants and the 7 awesome volunteers who oversaw this wonderful program. We are so proud of them!

This week Ms. Bertschmann's fifth grade students hit the library to make winter break reading goals! They are all trying their best to turn off the TV and pick up a fantastic book instead! Thanks to Library-Media Specialist, Mrs. Cowell for her help.  








This week, students in Ms. MacDonnell's fourth grade class worked together to start their Greek Myth reader's theater rehearsals.  These students were fantastic!
