Elm Street School

Dear Elm Families,

I hope you have enjoyed the long weekend with family and friends. Many classes acknowledged Veteran's Day with thoughtful discussion, read alouds, and letters of appreciation to Veteran's thanking them for their service. We thank all who have served and those who continue to serve today.

We are looking forward to another great week.

Best,

Carrie Ruggiero/ Principal

As the daily temperature begins to drop, it is extremely important students dress for the cold. Please make sure students wear winter coats, hats, and mittens/gloves to school each day.

We are just less than ONE WEEK AWAY from kicking off our Elm Street Glow Run Fundraiser this year. In just a few weeks the students will all be running laps to help our school. Next week, students will be coming home with a Pledge Book that explains how YOU can help our school this year by logging onto FunRun.com. Pledging is open NOW!
