Hello Dale Street Families,

Ms. Paula Vogler recently published a story in the Medfield Press highlighting Dale Street's Makerspace.  If you would like to view this story, you can read it here.  
Thank you to all who participated in today's Spirit Day.  We are in the process of collecting and delivering all the items for the Medfield Animal Shelter.  A special thank you to all who participated, members of the Dale Street Student Advisory Council for their help preparing the donations for delivery, and Student Council Advisor, Mrs. Vancura for volunteering to drop off all donations.

These students received Positive Referrals this week for being inclusive, helpful and showing extraordinary character.  Tremendous job!

Thank you to Sophie from Ms. Burnham's class from reading this week's book recommendation.  Sophie recommended The Unwanted Series because it is very suspenseful and it has many twists and turns.  Sophie rated this book 5 stars!  Thanks Sophie!  

On Tuesday, students in Ms. Condon's and Mrs. Curran's classes presented their WWII reports to families and guests.  Their 'Research Share' included topic presentations as well as artifacts that symbolized their topic.  Great work young learners!  


Thank you to Katherine and her family for bidding on 'Lunch with the Office Staff.'  This raffle was part of MCPE's Auction.  We are so excited to share lunch with Katherine and some of her friends!
