Volunteer Dinner Appreciation Dinner

Riding in Style

This morning a few of our students had a chance to ride to school in style......they were picked up by a fire truck and came to school with sirens blazing!  Thank you to the Middleboro Fire Department for taking the time out of your busy days to give the kids a ride to school!

3rd Grade Plays

This week we had 2 of our 3 third grade plays and they were great!  We were very impressed with all our students, they really did a great job.  Thank you to Mrs. Michaels, Mrs. Iveson and Ms. Pawlikowski for all their hard work.  We are looking forward to our last play next week!

The End of the Year is Quickly Approaching

Just 1 more week of PARCC!! We are almost done with testing. Thank you to everyone for making sure that our kids are well prepared on testing days. Please keep it up! Make sure kids are well rested and well fed on testing day!

Also, the last day of school is quickly approaching. We would like to ask everyone to please pay close attention to the school calendar at this very busy time of the year. We have a lot of fun events planned for the remaining weeks of school and the best way to keep up to date is through our calendar.

Attention 5th grade parents!
There will be an informational session for parents of incoming 6th grade students hosted by the NMS Administration here in the HBB Auditorium on June 8th at 7 pm. This should be a great opportunity to learn about the transition to grade 6 and to ask some questions. We hope to see you there.



Attention all Volunteers! 

We are planning our annual Appreciation Dinner for June 9th. Doors will open at 4:30 and will remain open until 6:30. This is an Open House style event and you can stop in at any time. Stay for the whole event or just 5 mins. This is our chance to say thank you so if you have volunteered in any capacity this year please plan on joining us!

Wrapping up the Week

We are wrapping up another busy week here and we are getting excited to see the first true signs of Spring!  Our kids are still plugging away at PARCC and we are nearing the finish.  Thank you to everyone for making sure your kids are here on testing days and are prepared for the test.  Please keep encouraging them. They are doing great and we are almost done!

Rapid Fire Math

This week Ms. Fecteau, Ms. Skelly and Mrs. Hickie's classes went out side for a game of Rapid Fire Math.  Students were divided and mixed into four teams, they played with multiplication and division and when a team got an equation correct they marked the number on their hundreds chart. Whichever team had the most numbers marked won. ALL the kids showed amazing sportsmanship.....which is our Character Word for next week!

1st Grade Good Egg Challenge

I issued the Good Egg Challenge and the First Grade EGGcepted!

All first grade classrooms came together today to complete the Good Egg Challenge. The first grade team and volunteer parents read Ordinary Mary’s Extraordinary Deed by: Emily Pearson, a book about a girl who does one good deed that has a powerful impact on many people. One good deed grows to more than 6 billion and our students learned that one nice thing can really make a difference.  

After reading the book the they watched a slide show created by Mrs. Bertelli and Mrs. DiStefano about the Middleborough Public Library and each first grade student created two bookmarks for the public library. They will be available at the desk for patrons to take and enjoy so if you have a chance to stop by the Library, check them out!

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
