Roderick School Blog: September 21, 2012

Dear Roderick Families:

I hope the families of the Roderick School enjoyed themselves as much as our staff did during last night's Open House night. I would like to thank Mrs. Judy White Orlando and Mrs. Maura Crowley for providing food for the evening. I hope everyone had a chance to visit the whole school and had the opportunity to look at the curriculum materials being used at our school. It was a pleasure to see so many parents. Thank you for making the effort to attend Open House!

Mrs. Crowley provided guests with some delicious treats!

We would like to thank Andrea Lovely, Wrentham Public Schools Art Teacher, for painting the Wrentham Wildcat over the summer. The wildcat looks awesome and really stands out in the main foyer.

Farm To School Week

This week our school celebrated Farm to School Week. Throughout this week our cafeteria featured fresh farm foods such as apples, cider, squash and tomatoes from local farms. On Tuesday, Senator Richard Ross stopped in for a visit and let students know that this is good nutrition and good news for our agriculture in Massachusetts. Senator Ross is pictured below along with some of our sixth grade students. Also pictured is Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Marsden, School Committee member, Mrs. Rouse, and Food Service Director, Mrs. White-Orlando.

Congratulations to our Positive Referral this week. This student was caught being thoughtful to a classmate. What a great way to demonstrate our Core Value of Respect. We are very proud of him!

Thank you to all who came out to cheer on the Wrentham Public Schools' staff at the softball game last Friday night. I am happy to report that this fun night raised $1,318.00! This money will be used to fund Wrentham Teachers' Association scholarships. A special thanks to all the staff members who participated and to all of the police staff who participated. Finally, a big thanks to Mrs. Moon and Mrs. Cederbaum for organizing this event, Caroline Watson for beautifully singing the National Anthem, and Mike McGuire for serving as the announcer for the evening. Here are some of the sights from the game:
