Principal Madden’s Weekly Update—Week of November 18
Chilly November Greetings!
Photos
This week’s photos show some of the fabulous time we had at our first Harvest Celebration. It was really wonderful. We had Ms. Hope from SchoolSprouts and Michael Skillicorn from Grow Food Northampton helping to make this event delicious and educational. Many classes made harvest-full food for us to sample and enjoy. We also had popped corn from corn grown right in our garden. It was a really nice celebration of gardening.
Other photos show our banner carriers (thank you, Sias Family) at the Veterans Day Parade, Movie Night (record audience!), and our Student Leadership Team at the trail head of the new trail in our neighborhood. We will be taking an All-School Walk there on Friday. I attached an informational flyer with maps as an FYI in case you are curious about where the new trail is. Parents are welcome to join us on our walk on Friday. We are planning to leave by 9:15.
