Poetry Night Celebration!
Our annual Poetry Night was a blast, with more than 60 students reading their poetry to the crowd. See poetry sampling >>
Read to Feed Read-a-Thon
After four weeks of our annual read-a-thon, the school read 5,575 hours! Stay tuned for the final total. Even though the read-a-thon is over, this doesn't mean you should slow down on your reading!
On the Move...
Now that the nice weather is finally here, classrooms are taking advantage and hitting the road. K217 visited Mass Chicken, grade 1 went to the Adams Court House in Boston, grade 4 spent time at the MIT Edgerton Center, and grade 5 went to see Monkey Kingdom at the Loew's Theater in Boston. Photo: K217 rolls down the hill at City Hall while waiting to go to Mass Chicken.
