Dear Families,

Happy Friday! Thanks to Helen’s 3K and Taylor and Caroline’s 3rd grade classes for their Chicka Chicka Boom Boom performance at community meeting this morning!

I hope you will join me in support of the PTA next Friday, March 21 at Schoolapalooza. This adults-only fundraising and community event helps support many of the programs your child enjoys in school. The event is from 7-10pm at the Paul Taylor Studio on Grand Street. Tickets are $35 and include food; please reach out if you would like to attend but need a complimentary ticket. You can buy advance tickets and bid on great auction items here. 

The CWS Readathon is on! Your child should have received information about this last or this week from their teacher. It continues through March 23rd, and packets are due on Monday, March 24. This is a free activity to encourage more reading by children, and participating children will be entered to win fun prizes. 

Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts on CWS on the annual school survey. A form went home that you can mail in the prepaid envelope, or you can take it online between now through April 4 through this link. Your access code is a lowercase “f” followed by your child’s nine-digit OSIS number. 

Upcoming Dates:

• Friday, March 21: Schoolapalooza, adult-only evening event hosted by the PTA
• Monday, March 24: Readathon packets due
• Friday, March 28: Half-day – early dismissal for all students at 11:30am [Prose teacher development]
• Monday, March 31: No School (Eid al-Fitr)
• Friday, April 4: Last Day to complete school survey through this link  (lowercase “f” and OSIS#)
• Monday, April 14 –  Friday, April 18: No School (Spring Break)

Warmly,
Maria
