Happy Friday, Dale Street Families,
It was a sensational, and dare I say, spooktacular week! It was great fun having students show up on Wednesday in their Halloween gear! Special thanks to the parents for organizing and running class Halloween activities on Zoom. Here are some exciting things that took place last week and some information regarding upcoming events.
On Tuesday, students in Ms. DiPesa's fourth-grade class enjoyed a fun Halloween activity learning all about the human skeleton and bones! They know exactly how many bones are in our hands and wrist!
During the first Student Council meeting, representatives voted to support local restaurants by “sponsoring” them. Students will help promote/advertise for local restaurants knowing that many businesses are having difficulties during the pandemic. What a great idea to help the community! Be sure to follow my blog for more information.
If your student is a Student Council representative or alternate but missed the meeting last week, please remind them to check their school email. Our next Zoom meeting will be on Wednesday (11/4). Details about the Student Council meeting were emailed directly to our representatives and alternates.
Our Medfield Public School teachers and staff are working tirelessly to ensure our children's safety, social-emotional health, educational progress, and happiness. Together, the K-8 PTO, High School PTO, and MCPE are excited to launch the Heroes Under the Mask Campaign which celebrates the positive experiences that go above and beyond the normal role of teachers, staff, and administrators. This is your chance to recognize all the little and big things they are doing to make this unsettled time purposeful! Please take a moment to share the positive experiences your family is experiencing during this time by nominating a hero using the Heroes Under the Mask Nomination Form. Nominations will be shared publicly so that we can celebrate the positive efforts as a community.
After spending time researching and studying landforms, Grade 4 students in Ms.Plympton's class showcased their presentations. Well done, young learners!
Students may bring lunch from home or purchase a meal from the cafeteria. Lunch is prepared by our cafeteria staff and is delivered to the classrooms. Meals prepared in the cafeteria will be free to all students for the 2020-2021 school year. Families will still need to complete the free & reduced lunch application.
Medfield Outreach has extended their weekly drop-in mental health hours through November. Please check out this flyer for more information.
On a visit to Mrs. Dowd and Cohort D this week, students worked on a fun and 'creepy' math site that highlighted factors and multiples. The students were fantastic!
Check out the PTO update with information about lawn ghosts, Medfield Apparel, the Annual Funding Drive, and more!
On Wednesday, Mr. Douglas' fourth-grade class participated in their weekly Sanford Harmony social-emotional learning lesson. This week's Grade 4 focus: Our Classroom Identity. If you have a fourth-grader ask them: What does it mean to them to be part of a group?
FLORAL WORKSHOP: Join MCPE for the first event in our One Medfield Virtual FunRaising Night In series with Alice’s Table!
