Reflections from Katie 
I wanted to share with you a recent conversation and analysis of the report card survey so that you can get a sense of where this leaves us in terms of next steps. We received more than 70 responses to the survey. While this clearly does not represent all families, it does provide a broader perspective than just families who can stop in for a conversation.

Save-the-Date: April 3! 
In 2005, the Harvey family and the community had a precious daughter, math teacher, and friend stolen through unspeakable violence. In her honor, the Andrea Harvey Memorial Fund (AHMF) has been helping to provide scholarships to deserving students at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School and East Boston High School.

AHMF participates in the City of Cambridge 5 Mile Run and 3 Mile Walk, which will be held on Sunday, April 3, 2016.

To register for the Run/Walk go to: www.cambridgecityrun.com/

For more info about AHMF, see info outside Shirley’s office or online at www.andreaharvey.org.
