Dale Street Blog: September 29, 2023

Dear Dale Street Families,

Despite it being a short week, the #beproudbedale students and staff made the most of every moment. As you will see, this past week was filled with exciting, productive, and fun activities. Please take a moment to enjoy some highlights and stay informed about upcoming dates and events.

Congratulations to this week's Positive Referral!

On Wednesday, students and staff participated in the PTO-sponsored Rainbow Run! It was an amazing day! The weather, the music, and the smiles made for an incredible day. This day would not have been possible without the efforts of Kelly Scobbo, Nicole Drummond, Jodi Bills, Nesse McCabe, the PTO volunteers, and all the families who made pledges for the event. Thank you!

Due to the rain last weekend, Yoga on the Turf is RESCHEDULED for this Sunday, October 1st at 12 p.m. at the high school turf. September is Suicide Awareness Month and the Medfield Coalition for Suicide Prevention (MCSP) is hosting our 7th annual Yoga on The Turf on Sunday, October 1st at 12 p.m. at the high school turf. Tracy Buckley of Medfield Yoga Studio will host the class. The class is FREE, but donations to support the work and mission of the MCSP are greatly appreciated. MCSP works to promote the mental health and emotional well-being of all community members, to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and educate our community to help end suicide. Open to ALL AGES and ALL LEVELS; beginners are more than welcome! Bring your own mat and water bottle. Thank you for supporting the Medfield Coalition for Suicide Prevention.

This week students in Mrs. Scott's fourth grade kicked off their fraction unit. Students and staff are enjoying our new Illustrative Math program.

Elementary Spirit Day

Friday, October 6th, is School Spirit Day. All students and staff are encouraged to dress in Medfield gear or Medfield colors.

Special thanks to Mason in Ms. Isaacson's fourth-grade class for sharing our first book review of the year. Mason selected Leon the Extraordinary by Jamar Nicholas. Thank you, Mason!

Positive Sign Thursday!

'YOU ARE WORTH IT!'

2024 TESTING SCHEDULE

Grade 5 April 5th and April 10th

Math

Grade 4 May 7th and May 9th

Grade 5 May 8th and May 10th

So impressed with our students' musical abilities! Each week grade levels meet as large group ensembles. They are terrific! Here are the Grade 4 Brass Ensemble (top) and the Grade 5 Orchestra (bottom). I can't wait for the concerts!

The MCPE 2023 Fall Fest is officially sold out! But good news…if you weren’t able to snag tickets, you can join the waitlist. If any tickets become available, we'll get in touch with you in the order we received submissions.

Whether or not you can make it to Fall Fest, you can still purchase limited-edition Medfield merch and support our schools! MCPE is excited to offer a limited-run of special edition Medfield items to celebrate Fall Fest and keep you snuggly warm at all your outdoor fall events. All pre-orders will be available for pick up at Fall Fest on October 20th. If you will not be at Fall Fest, or plans change and you can’t make it that evening, you will be contacted with additional pickup options after October 20th.

Pre-orders will close on October 3rd, so please order today! We will have a limited number of items available for purchase at Fall Fest, so place a pre-order to guarantee availability and avoid disappointment (and the chilly air!).
