Dale Street students care about the planet! To help take care of our precious earth, Dale Street is teaming up with the Medfield Transfer Station and Recycling Committee and Crazy Crayons to recycle unwanted crayons!
Crayons are a petroleum product that take many years to biodegrade. The National Crayon Recycle Program recycles unwanted, rejected, broken crayons into new crayons, keeping thousands of pounds out of landfills every year.
Please send your student in with crayons that you are no longer using. We'll collect them in the Library and then weigh what we have collected to find out how many pounds of crayons Dale Street has saved from landfills!
The Crayon Collection will go from Monday, October 24th - Friday, November 4th.

| Congratulations to Hadley and Aliya for completing the summer band challenge. These two Rockstars played 10 musical tasks - ranging from performing for family to looking up new music to learn on their own. Way to go, young learners! |
The Dale Street staff enjoys making Halloween a safe, exciting, and consistent experience for all students. On Monday, October 31st, all of our classrooms:
- encourage all students to dress up in their costumes. Please note that students’ faces may not be covered with a mask, hood, or other items. Please do not allow your child to bring fake weapons into school to accompany his/her costume, and particularly violent themes should be avoided. Additionally, please leave face paint at home.
- will have Halloween-themed activities. Activities will be teacher-directed and run throughout the morning. The classroom teacher will reach out to head room parents if support is needed.
- will have a 'Party in a Bag'. Please have your child decorate (if they wish) or simply print their name on a brown paper bag. Please send in the brown bag on October 31st, filled 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' snack times and the Halloween-themed activities will take place at different times in the morning depending on each class' schedule.
We understand and are happy that the children may receive a plethora of treats on Halloween night. Come Tuesday, November 1st, the staff at Dale Street encourages healthy foods for student snack times to help promote optimal learning. Thank you in advance for your continued support.
Scientists at work!!! This week students in Ms. Johnson's fifth-grade class investigated how Moon phases change and how the Moon's relationship with the Earth and Sun affects these changes.

Did you know that MCPE (Medfield Coalition for Public Education) is a great way to support Medfield Public Schools? For 35 years, MCPE has raised money from the Medfield community to provide system-wide support and academic enrichment for all five schools in town, with particular attention to academic needs that exceed the parameters of the school budget. Last year alone, MCPE used money raised throughout the year to fund 12 grants totaling over $40,000! These grants represent many unique ideas that improve the experiences of our K-12 students. If you’re looking for ways to support Medfield schools, teachers, administrators, and our kids, MCPE is a great way to do so! You can donate directly, host an Entertainment for Education (E4E) event, or attend any of the MCPE community-wide events that happen throughout the year, including the upcoming Fall Ball!
The High School Boys' Basketball team is hosting a 3 x 3 tournament for boys and girls in grades 4-7 at the high school gym on Veterans Day from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Here is the registration form and a FAQ section on the tournament. Please email your completed registration forms or direct any questions to the event coordinator, Natalie Madej at nmadej@att.net.
