This week’s Paw Prints from Principal Katie Grassa:
- Families Notice: We know that dismissing almost 900 students at the end of each day can be hectic and cause traffic, but we are asking families to please not park in the staff lots during dismissal. There have been a few close calls over the last week where students filing to buses were almost hit by cars. We must assure the safety of all students during arrival and dismissal. Also please do not dismiss your child after 2pm. There is a growing pattern of early dismissals after 2pm and it is disruptive to the work going on in the classrooms.
- Spring Music Concert: The Spring Music Concert with the Community Music Center of Boston will be held on Thursday, May 29th at 9am in the Auditorium. For more details, or to be involved in its planning, please contact art teacher Anna Youman.
- International Week at the Curley K-8: In celebration of our diverse school community we invite you to join us for International Week at the Curley K-8 school from June 2nd – 6th, 2014. This week-long celebration will include classroom exhibits, activities, and performances. Each class will learn about a different country; on Friday they will “travel the world” by hosting and visiting one another’s adopted countries. On Thursday, June 5th, students, teachers and parents will also present a Multicultural Showcase of songs, poetry, skits, and dances celebrating our cultural diversity. The evening performance will be at 6:00pm in the Upper School Auditorium. Come and enjoy delicious food from all over the world prepared by our community. We welcome family participation and hope you’ll consider sharing your heritage at the showcase. Read about last year’s celebration here. We need volunteers to help organize this event. For more information about this event please email Ms. Canada or call her at 617-777-5018, or email Ms. Monteiro-Roby or call her at 617-756-3667.
- Memorial Day: Just a reminder that we do not have school on Monday, May 26th in observance of Memorial Day.
- End of the Year: The last day of school for ALL students is on Wednesday, June 25th. Also on Tuesday, June 24th and Wednesday, June 25th students will have a ½ day and be dismissed at 12:30pm.
