James

Read Across America

Cambridge Arts Council Grant Award
Logo2

Remember in December when nine Tobin classes attended the Nutcracker Ballet at the Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre? This Logo

We are very thankful for this generous grant that helped so many of our students experience this amazing ballet in which three of our students performed!

BABY SUPPLIES NEEDED
Do you have new or gently used baby items that you no longer need? One of our parents, Dara Arons M.D., who works closely with new immigrant mothers around the city and beyond, is looking for much needed supplies for these woman and their newborns. They are in need of infant/baby clothing, diapers, cribs,
high chairs etc. If you have any of these items and would like to donate them please let me know at [email protected]. We will be finding a space in the school to store the donations.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER BY MISTER ROGERS
"It's true that we take a great deal of our own upbringing on into our adult lives and our lives as parents; but it's true, too, that we can change some of the things that we would like to change. It can be hard, but it can be done."
