all of the parents who took time out of their busy
schedules to attend today's coffee, Dr. Martes for presenting at the

Thank you to Dover Police Sergeant Allan Mick who visited our school this week. Students in grades 5 and 6 viewed a presentation on Internet Safety/Texting. Please be on the lookout for the "What do you think?" paper that your child used to reflect about this presentation.

Thank
you to everyone who supported the annual S.W.I.S.H. (Students With
Illness Score Help) basketball game last evening. The staff was
ready and focused this year and pulled out a victory. Way to go,
Teachers! Special thanks to event organizer, Mrs. Moon. Additionally,
all of us at the Wrentham Public Schools would like to thank Chief
Anderson and members of the Wrentham Police Department for participating
in the game.
Miss Yelle's class spent time this week finding equivalent measurements with meters, centimeters, and millimeters. Great teamwork!
On Tuesday, Miss White's class and Mrs. Sabatini's class participated in some community service. The students picked up trash from the playground and back fields! Thanks kids!
Field
Day is scheduled for Friday, June 6th. Mr. Maguire and Mr. Moon, our
Physical Education teachers, are planning an exciting day of activities
for all of the students in Kindergarten through Grade 6. We have found
it to be helpful to:
- have students wear comfortable clothes and sneakers on this day
- apply sunscreen before coming to school. Please provide more sunscreen for re- application.
- send children with a hat and extra water on this day.
Our
school will begin collecting canned goods and dry goods to donate to
the Wrentham Food Pantry. Donations will be collected each morning in
the classrooms starting on Wednesday, June 4th and ending on Friday,
June 6th. As a reminder, donations are strictly voluntary. Thank you
in advance for your cooperation.
