January 24, 2020 - Week 21

Hello Dale Street!

It is hard to imagine, but we are half way through the school year (91st day today) and our students and staff are making every day count.  Take a look below to see some of the wonderful things that took place this week at #beproudbedale.

Today, Medfield's own, Kurt Jackson visited Dale Street to share storytelling talents.  Mr. Jackson shared an engaging, humorous, and touching story titled My Hero.  It was a fabulous way to share some life lessons that align with the #beproudbedale Core Values.  Special thanks to the always supportive & generous Dale Street PTO for funding this great assembly!

How cool is this....students in Ms. Isaacson's fourth grade class 'made' smoothies during math class this week while going deeper with equivalent fractions.  So fun! 






The Dale Street Student Council representatives (with input from their classmates) have voted to collect board games, small, new stuffed animals, DVD's, and money for the children with cancer at Children's Hospital during Trimester II.  There will be a collection bin at Dale Street starting Monday (1/27) through Friday, February 14th to collect donated items.  Any monetary donations can be turned into the office.

Our next Spirit Day will be on Friday, February 7th with the theme.....CAREER DAY!!  Students and staff are encouraged to dress up on this day as a career they would like to pursue (i.e. basketball player, chef, photographer, scientist)


A HUGE THANK YOU to our AMAZING PTO for providing staff with a delicious lunch of soup, breads, and desserts.  Your support and thoughtfulness are so appreciated!



A message from the MHS Art Department:

Last year was our first annual Empty Bowls event, and this year we are back at it! For those who may not remember, Empty Bowls is  a collaborative community dinner of soup and bread to raise money for Medfield Food Cupboard.

A $25  ticket bought in advance gets you dinner along with two pottery classes at the High School to create a bowl to eat dinner out of and bring home with you.

No time to make your own bowl? Choose a handmade bowl at dinner, fill it with delicious soup donated by local restaurants, and take your bowl home with you! All ages welcome!

While advanced sign up is required, payments can be made via cash, check, or Venmo at the door.

Last year was a lot of fun and we raised almost $2000 for the Medfield Food Cupboard! Please feel free to reach out with any questions and we hope to see you there!

In World Language with SeƱora  LeVangie this week, students wrapped up their 'escuela' (school) unit with some presentational writing.  The focus: What subject do you like a lot?  Trabajo maravilloso! (wonderful job!)
