I hope that you are enjoying your week thus far and would like to thank everyone who attended parent/teacher conferences. It was wonderful to see so many of you!
I would also like to take a moment to wish you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving. I feel so thankful to be a member of the Wrentham Public Schools' community. The children, parents, and staff are truly amazing and I feel extremely fortunate to be part of it all. Please enjoy your holiday!
A staff member recently shared this poem written last year by one of our now, third graders, Jack S. It was too outstanding not to share it all with you.
"I'm Thankful For So Many Things"
I'm thankful for birds, I'm thankful for bees.
I'm thankful for things that grow up in trees.
I'm thankful for squirrels, I'm thankful for rats.
I'm thankful for dogs and Siamese cats.
On Thanksgiving Day, I'm thankful the most.
I'm always polite to my hostess or host.
I've been thankful since the day I was born.
I'm thankful for the clothes that I've worn.
I'm glad I don't sleep on cold metal each night.
Like a poor, wild animal, bursting with fright.
I'm thankful for houses and cold water streams.
But not for those monsters I see in bad dreams.
I'm thankful for doing the things that I do.
And last but not least, I'm thankful for you!
On Monday, members of the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation stopped by our school to pick up the donated items collected to date. Members of Mrs. Carceo's and Mrs. DeTrolio's grade 3 classes helped to separate coats before they were sent over to Gillette Stadium. The Cradles to Crayons drive at our school will continue until Friday, December 21st. Thank you to all who have donated items. The individual from the Patriots said that there were 17,000 boys and girls in need of winter coats this year.
Have a great rest of your week. Thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
Dr. Melissa D. Peterson
