Dale Street Blog: January 17, 2025

Hello Dale Street Families,

What an amazing week it has been at #beproudbedale! This week there were so many great things happening in and out of the classrooms. I am so proud of our outstanding students and dedicated teachers. They are such a joy to be around each day! I encourage everyone to explore this week's blog and stay informed.

This morning Dale Street held a Hero Day assembly. Students heard about heroes, watched a short video, and one student from each classroom shared about their own hero. Students and staff were invited to dress up like their heroes. Special thanks to our student readers and the Student Council representatives for facilitating the assembly.

It was a treat visiting Mrs. Burnham's fifth-grade class on Wednesday to watch their play about the Boston Massacre. The students were outstanding in bringing history to life! 👏

On Thursday, we celebrated with a Positive Referral breakfast. Thank you to all of the families who attended and special thanks to our cafeteria staff for providing the delicious refreshments. Congratulations to all of the Positive Referrals who attended the breakfast and congratulations to all who earned a Positive Referral so far this year!

This week in Social Studies, Mrs. Kaplan and Mrs. Seaver’s 5th graders teamed up for a Declaration of Independence scavenger hunt! 🕵️‍♂️📜 What a fun and engaging way to dive deeper into this pivotal document!

Dear Parents,

The Blake Middle School is holding a blood drive on Monday, January 20th, from 8am-2pm. It is run by our students and the American Red Cross. The goal is to help teach students that MLK day is a day of service, rather than a "day off". We are off to a good start with people coming in to donate, but we are pretty far from our goal and need your help. Please consider donating blood. We have the best food recovery table around, and we have a mother's helper station for those who need to bring their kiddos along.

If you have any questions regarding the blood drive please feel free to contact, Cynthia McClelland at cmcclelland@email.medfield.net
