May 2009 School Wide News
Bravo!!!
Thank you to everyone who helped to make our May Day Play The Governor and The Purple Finch such a wonderful success. It was such a special day and so great to be able to share it with grandparents and senior friends. Special thanks to Annie Ryder- Clark, Liz Ayers, Jill Stagner and Grammy Marlene, Tom Sullivan and everyone else who contributed so much of their time and talent to this production. If you were unable to attend the play, a copy of the DVD is available in the office.
Classroom Liaisons Meeting May 5th
A few parents have expressed an interest in discussing how we work together to communicate within the HIS community. Classroom liaisons, along any other interested faculty or parents, are invited to attend a meeting on Tuesday May 5th at 6:00pm. Childcare will be available.
Happy Birthday Library
Join us if you can on Friday May 22 from 11:00AM – 12:00PM for our Library’s first birthday party. We already have a growing gift basket of books. The list of books on the bulletin board is only a suggestion. If you have some gently used hardback books that you would like to donate feel free to drop them off in the office and we will wrap them for you!! Feel free too, to order them from Amazon and have them shipped directly here. A bookplate with your family’s name will appear on the front page of the book so be sure to include your name on the card. Let us know if you would like to come in and read a story to your child’s class. Check the weekly newsletter from your child’s teacher for more details.
Enrichment Clusters at Tuckernuck
This year we will be combining our enrichment cluster week with our time out at Tuckernnuck, from Monday June 8 to Thursday June 11. A flyer will be going home this week explaining the program and asking for your participation.
Summer Camp Enrollment
We have some great programs planned for this summer and they are beginning to fill. If you have not signed your child up for summer camp yet please do so as soon as possible.
The Blackflies are Back
Please remember to send your child to school with bug repellent and sunscreen. If you can, please apply both before your child comes to school as most classes are spending more time outside with the warmer weather.
It’s a Wrap!
Our pilot program with the wraps was a success and we will be offering them as part of our nutrition program in the fall. Stay tuned for more information about our new lunch offerings for next year.
Pizza Forms for May are due Monday May 4th.
Fond Farewells
As you know, Lisa Dean took a new job at NH Food Pantry. We had a bittersweet farewell party for her on the Friday before vacation and wish her all the best in her new position. Wendy Hebert and Lynn Brofos will be helping out in the office for the remainder of the year until we can fill this position.
We said farewell to Miss Jane as well, who will only be teaching art in the afterschool program for the remainder of this year. Opportunities for creative expression will continue to enrich your child’s experience here, but with the warmer weather the children will be using the time on Thursdays instead to work in the garden, preparing the soil and planting seeds. Cheryl Bourassa will be heading up this project. If you would like to become involved please contact her.
Recent Health Concerns
Hopefully you all received the email about the Swine Flu Virus from the CDC. We will do all that we can here to keep the children safe from germs and would appreciate your support in bringing awareness to this issue at home as well.
Building Bridges
A huge thank you to Brian Staples- Roy for building a new bridge to the upper playing fields. It is especially helpful during this wet season for the children to have a safe and mud-free access to this
play area and Brian's workmanship is as beautiful as it is functional.
Piano Lessons
Justine Paul will be offering piano lessons through the summer. Please contact her at 224-1307 if you’re interested.
