It's hard to believe that another week has passed so quickly! Between the cold weather, a little snow, and the holidays, the school is buzzing with excitement. Please keep in mind that we will be in school a full week next week and just Monday, December 22nd and Tuesday, December 23rd the following week.
On Tuesday, our school held a dedication ceremony in honor of the newly refurbished Wrentham Wildcat Cafe. Thank you to all who attended. If you have not had a chance to see the cafeteria, please stop in and take a look. Here are some photos from the dedication ceremony.
It feels like winter and brrrr, it’s cold! Please be sure that your children are wearing appropriate, seasonal clothing (i.e. no shorts) and have coats, hats, mittens, boots, etc… as they will be going outside for recess. Only students who have winter boots will be allowed to go on the snow. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Positive Referrals
Congratulations! These students showed a wonderful work ethic and were recognized for being wonderful role models in both their classroom and the school community.
From the Mrs. Fox, Roderick Technology Teacher
I
recently started teaching students in grades 4-6 about Internet Safety. We
discussed how the Internet is a wonderful and amazing tool for researching,
learning, communicating with family and friends, shopping, playing games,
watching videos, and listening to music. It was also stressed that along with
all the positive components, the Internet offers many negative and dangerous
risks. These negative risks include viruses, hackers, scams, cyberbullying, and
exposure to inappropriate images and language. Most importantly stressed were
the dangers of online predators and being public on many social networks. It
was strongly stressed that students should never enter a public chat room with
strangers and never reveal personal information.
Below are a few excellent Parent Internet Safety Sites:
This
holiday season brings new gifts and perhaps new technology devices to your
child. Please discuss Internet safety with your child and review your
online family rules by stressing the importance of being safe and smart when entering
the World Wide Web.
Today, I had the opportunity to attend a quarterly update meeting with Police Chief Anderson and our school resource officer, Mr. Steve Hearon. We talked about what has been going well and what we still want to work on. Please email me if you have any questions, comments, and/or suggestions regarding our school resource officer.

Anonymous Donors
The Wrentham Police is seeking your help to assist in decorating their Christmas Tree. The Wrentham Police Department is asking that families decorate one ornament, that the ornament not be too big, and that the ornament be creative. In addition, the Wrentham Police Association will be taking donations of non-perishable food items to give to families in need. There will be a box set up next to the tree (on the second floor of the Wrentham Public Safety Building) to place donations.
As always, thank you for reading.
Have a great weekend.
Sincerely,
Stephen S. Grenham, Principal
