Dale Street Blog: December 15, 2023

Hello Dale Street Families!

We just completed an incredible week here at #beproudbedale. This week included collaboration, real-world connections, and student-led activities just to name a few things. Please take a few minutes to scroll through this week's blog to read all about our exciting week.

Congratulations to this week's Positive Referrals!

On Wednesday, students in Ms. Isaacson's fourth-grade class facilitated a fantastic SEL (social-emotional learning) assembly focusing on Dale Street's Core Value of Respect. The students did a great job sharing a very important message!

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 a large amount of money for the Medfield Home Committee. Wow! Thank you to all of the students, families, and staff who supported this wonderful cause. Special thanks to Mr. Douglas' class and Mrs. Flynn's class for hosting the Flea Market. #compassion

Medfield and the State Seal of Biliteracy

This week in the Makerspace with Mrs. Lowerre, Grade 4 students in Mr. Douglas' class used their creativity by crafting ‘Bottle Buddies’ as part of their explorer research projects! Very cool!

Thank you to all who helped to make our Student Council/PTO PJs and sock drive for Cradles to Crayons so successful!

Holiday Celebrations - Enjoy a “Party in a Bag!” Have your child decorate a brown paper lunch bag with a holiday theme. Once decorated, fill it with a few of your child’s favorite food items. Some examples are: juice box or mini water bottle, small salty snack, fun sweet snack (cupcake, cookie), additional items could be a piece of fruit, a small yogurt, or any additional healthy snack. Adding a little note to your child's bag will definitely make them happy! Students will be able to enjoy their “Party in a Bag” snacks at a designated time during their classroom celebration on December 22nd.

Positive Sign Thursday!
