Dear Lowell,

I hope you enjoyed the wonderful weather we were blessed with this week. I want to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all those who nurture the children in their lives. I hope you are spoiled with treats and well wishes.

We enjoyed another exciting morning taping Mr. Chen to the wall. The children were kind and respectful as they taped him to the wall. Many students actually asked him if he was okay as they came up to put tape on him. We all cheered as the milk cart was removed. He did remind all the kids not to try this at home.

Next week we are holding our MCAS Math tests. Please encourage your child to do their best and take their time. Getting a good night's sleep and eating breakfast is a wonderful way to help your child be their best.

With Gratitude,

Stacy

I also wanted you to know about an event that will be a precursor to the Extravaganza, Design Your Pride Gear on Thursday, May 25, 5-8 pm at the Watertown Free Public Library. We will have many crafting opportunities for all ages: flag decorating, sign making, social justice jewelry making, bedazzling hats and t-shirts, and a lot more. There is no registration, and all supplies and instruction are free.

I have attached a flyer for you to post/distribute to those who may be interested. Families and student groups are more than welcome to come!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
