In Children's House 3, we have started a Dance in the Schools program with Sarah Fader, Dance in the Schools Teaching Artist. Ms. Sarah says, "I am thrilled to be returning to Tobin as a teaching artist for Dance in the Schools! Over the nearly 20 years that I have been bringing Storytelling Through Movement, among other dance activities, into the Cambridge classrooms, I have seen how much joy the children take in expressing themselves through dance."

Tobin's DESE Report Card
Every year, each public school and school district in Massachusetts receives a report card. Just as your child’s report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the school’s report card is designed to show families how our school is doing in different areas.

We were inspired by famous peacemakers Martin Luther King Jr. and created messages of peace to share with our community! One of our friends suggested “picking up trash” helps our community so we decided to clean our playground.

VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism
Hello G&P, Haggerty, Tobin, and VLUS Families,
Please join a monthly affinity group for VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism.

There will be reading to complete before each session, and families are strongly encouraged to make a commitment to attend as many sessions as possible.
