Last weekend many of our students participated in the Destination Imagination regional tournament held at Goffstown High School. We are excited to say two of our teams placed high enough to move on to the DI State Tournament held on April 7th at Bedford High School. Congratulations to Team Emoji and The Pioneers of Treasure.

IT TAKES HEART TO BE A HERO!   The Jump Rope for Heart event kicked off this week in Physical Education class with a video about a Heart Hero, Camden, who is 8 years old and was born with a heart condition. Thanks to the kids who have raised donations for the American Heart Association in the past Camden was able to have surgery to help her heart.   This week in Physical Education class students have discussed heart disease to help students understand why they are raising money for the American Heart Association.  We also hosted the Hip Hoppin’ Hawks jump rope team who performed for us after discussing why we choose heart healthy habits to live healthy lives. Collection envelopes are going home this week March 5th-9th and must be returned by Friday, March 30th.   Online fundraising is much easier and more efficient since students don't have to remember to hand in money. Mrs. Ferenc has encouraged the students to register online and sign up to choose ...

We are all busy getting ready for Family Fun Night next week. It's going to be so much fun, as it is every year!  There are a few items to note as the date approaches. There are 2 sessions on February 8th: Session 1 is 4:00-5:30 Session 2 is 6:00-7:30 Tickets purchased in advance will NOT be sent home with students.  You can pick your pre-purchased tickets up that night at the designated tables. Order forms will no longer be accepted. Didn't pre-purchase tickets? No worries! You can buy raffle/basket tickets that night. However, food tickets are not available to purchase that night.  The reason for this is that we needed to order all food/drinks prior to February 8th in order to have enough.  If you ordered a t-shirt, your child will be sent home with your order next week.  Finally, a big thank you to all the parents and teachers who have volunteered their time for this event. You are what makes this night so successful!  Also, thank you to o...
