Dale Street Blog: April 29, 2022

Greetings Dale Street Families,

What a fabulous week back! The students and staff transitioned smoothly and there were so many exciting events happening around #beproudbedale this week. Take a look.....

Congratulations to this week's Positive Referral!

Katie was recognized for modeling our core value of Continuous Growth.

This week, Grade 4 students went on a field trip to the Patriots Hall of Fame. Students participated in a math-focused program in which they were able to manage an NFL franchise. Students and staff had a blast!

After a two-year hiatus, the Dale Street PTO is excited to bring back Kids’ Night Out, with an indoor BEACH PARTY theme.

4th Grade KNO = Friday, May 13th

5th Grade KNO = May 20th

Both events will be held in Dale’s cafeteria from 7-8:30 PM. Students will enjoy a DJ with dancing, Games in the Gym, Guess How Many, Trivia, Refreshments, and more. Cash or check payable to the Dale PTO to be paid at the door (no pre-registration). This is a drop-off event, but we need the help of many parents to ensure the evening runs smoothly. Please view this permission slip for all of the details and to volunteer.

Positive Sign Thursday!

'WE CONTINUOUSLY GROW!'

On Friday, May 6th, Dale Street will have a 'Jersey Day'. Students and staff are encouraged to wear their favorite sports team apparel. It can be for a professional team, a school team, or even a town/club team.

On Wednesday, the students and staff at Dale Street celebrated Administrative Professional's Day and our two fabulous Administrative Professionals, Mrs. Gilberti and Mrs, Malmquist. These two incredible people do so much for the students, families, and staff at Dale Street and we are so fortunate to have them!

Today, Dale Street held another POP (Parents on the Playground). Today's activities...capture the flag and chalk art were huge successes. Special thanks to Mr. Marciniszyn (Serena's dad) who facilitated today's POP. If you are interested in volunteering, please click here.

Vision screening will be conducted during PE classes next week (5/2, 5/5, and 5/6)

Please email the school nurse, Mrs. Thompson, at kthompaon@email.medfield.net with any questions or if you would like to excuse your child from the screening. If your child wears glasses, please check that they bring them into school next week. Thank you!

Thank you to our Friday DJ's who rocked the lunchroom today!

This week, students in Mrs. Scott's fourth-grade class kicked off their graphic novel unit. The students were so engaged!

Family Literacy Night is coming up soon! The Dale Street Library wants to let you know about a fun opportunity you'll have to adopt a library book.

Our books in the library are well-loved, but sometimes they get a little too much love and end up with torn pages or broken spines. Accidents happen! To help some of our most popular books in the library get back in good shape, we’re starting the Adopt a Book program!

How it works:

Purchase a new copy of that book and donate it to the library

You’ll receive a book adoption certificate and get to take the library's original, loved copy home!

Big thank you to Ryen in Mrs. Chamblin's class for helping create this beautiful Dale Street-themed bowl for Medfield's Empty Bowl project. Amazing job!

Free homework help will be provided by a high school student volunteer! Currently open to students in Grades 1-6; All Subject Areas. This is a drop-in, no registration is needed! Please have your child bring their school work or school projects. This program is being coordinated by Teen Librarian Erica, who works with our Teen Volunteers. If you have questions, please call 508-359-4544 x2 and ask for Erica, or send her an email at ecote@minlib.net

Thank you to Detective Manganello for greeting Dale Street students with high fives this morning. What a great and positive way to start the day!

Earlier this week, Grade 4 students in Ms. Plympton's class continued to work hard to learn more about the southeast region. Students focused on identifying the states in this region, describing its diverse culture, and explaining natural disasters.
