Hello,
Thank you to everyone who attended the District and Town meetings yesterday. And a special thanks to the 8th and 7th-grade classes for supporting your community through concession sales and babysitting services respectively. It was a great day to see neighbors and support our town select board and district school board members. The conversation and feedback shared during these meetings are heavily considered by the boards as they provide stewardship of our town and district resources. Our school budget passed and we are eager to begin the hiring process for a new Technology Coordinator (shared with Cornish) and a Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Coordinator (shared with Grantham and Cornish.) Spread the word!
NEWSIES
Newsies shared some sneak peeks of their production and sold quite a few tickets to their March 31st and April 1st performances at the Briggs Opera House (7pm both evenenings.) It’s not too late to get your tickets:
You can also support the drama program by purchasing a limited edition Newsies T-shirt! - T-SHIRT ORDER FORM
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR
The Book Fair is finally here! Books will be on display and available for purchase Tuesday through Thursday. You can “pre-load” your child’s online wallet so that you don’t have to send them with cash. See the attached flier for full details. Thank you to Shannon Decker and the PTA for coordinating and staffing this event. The kids can’t wait!
NH BRIGHT FUTURES SURVEY
The state has released the annual “Bright Futures Survey.” This survey is administered to families, staff, and community members and provides critical information for the state, our local school board, and the administration and teachers. We use the information to set annual and strategic goals, determine training needs, and steer programs here at PES. Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the survey:
