March 27, 2015 - Week 28

Greetings Roderick Families!

Good Luck Mr. Moon!

On behalf of the Wrentham Public Schools' students and staff, we would like to wish Physical Education teacher, Mr. Moon, the best of luck tonight as he competes in Dancing with the Wrentham Stars.  Mr. Moon has been training diligently and working extremely hard to raise money for this event.  Thank you to all who contributed to and supported this great cause.

Good luck to our DI teams: Team Hepburn, Team Cahoon & Mooney, and Team McFarlane, Mellman, & Sansoucy participating in Destination Imagination State Tournament this weekend at WPI. Thank you to all of our volunteer coaches!  Go Wildcats!!!!!!

It was great to get a chance to see the Chess Club this week.  There were some great matches going on.  

On a visit to Mrs. Curtin's classroom this week I saw some incredible designs of land form projects.  Great work!

Thank you to this Wrentham DI team for their very kind note.  We are so proud of them and all of the students in DI.  Go Wildcats!!!!!!

Mixed Bags orders are due back by Monday, March 30th.  Thank you in advance for your continued support!
