We will begin with a family picnic.

This will be followed by music for dancing and fun games,

There will also be a bake sale going on and an ice cream social.

All preschool-grade 5 students and families are welcome to attend.

There is no charge, except for a $3.00 cost for the ice cream and, if you choose, bake sale goodies.

Ice Cream Social forms will be sent home so that we can plan appropriately for the amount of ice cream toppings needed.

Mark your calendars - it will be a fun time

Members of our Panther Power student leadership team took a walking trip to the Ayer Police & Fire stations recently. They presented "kindness cards" to all of the APD & AFD personnel, in appreciation of all they do as first responders.

After completing a day of MCAS math, some fourth graders headed to our "Kindness Garden" for some fresh air and gardening work.

On Saturday, June 4th (8:30 - 12:00) members of our Panther Power student leadership group will be hosting a fundraising car cash at Archer's Mobil across from the fire station. Bring your dirty cars, trucks & motorcycles, and let our enthusiastic students clean them up for you!

Mrs. Gruskowski's second graders are "making it rain KINDNESS".

Dr. Lance: In this lesson, students made a model of the earth and 4 different stars, one of which was the Sun. They had to make a scaled model coming up with a measurement to represent light-years. Using a table that provided the distance of the stars from the earth in light-years, they used marshmallows and toothpicks to create their model. They realized just how close the sun is to Earth compared to other stars!

Our always fun-filled field day will return on Monday, June 6th!

• All K - 2 students will participate in field day events from 9:00 - 1:00 (including lunch)
