Happy Friday Delaney Families!
Please enjoy reading about our week...


On Thursday, our third grade students visited "Star Labs" in the Gibbons Gym; a Museum of Science program sponsored by WEST. Students entered the planetariums and learned about constellations, galaxies, planets, and more.  Pictured below are students from Mrs. Tuft's class and the two MOS presenters; Donna and Emily. A huge thank you to WEST for providing this phenomenal opportunity for the kids.


On Wednesday, the Advanced Band performed their winter concert for students in PreK-3.  Congratulations and thank you to Ms. Salazar and the members of the Advanced Band for an amazing concert!





The Delaney and Roderick School Councils met on Wednesday.  Topics discussed included the continued work to develop the School Improvement Plan for 2013-2016, WEST grant recipients, school safety, and the After School Enrichment Program.  School Council meetings are typically held on the first Wednesday of the month at 3 p.m. All are welcomed!




Friday was Patriots' Spirit Day and the Delaney was a sea of red, white, and blue!  Go PATS!!!




Principals' Coffee - January 18th
On Friday, January 18th at 8:30 a.m. in the Vogel Auditorium, there will be a Principals' Coffee.  The topic of discussion will be the Reading Street program that the Wrentham Public Schools have officially adopted in grades K-6.  Teachers will be presenting various parts of the program across grade levels.  We hope you can join us!



Preschool and Kindergarten Informational Nights
Informational nights for the parents of children entering preschool or kindergarten in September 2013 will be held on February 6th (PreK) and February 27th (K) at 6:30 p.m. in the Vogel Auditorium.  Additional information regarding the programs and registration dates can be found on the Wrentham Public Schools' website.



As you may know, Project Blossom received NAEYC accreditation four years ago.  As part of the yearly renewal process, parents are surveyed and the results used to assess the program and make improvements when needed.  Thank you to everyone who completed the survey. Results will be available shortly. 


There will be no school on Monday, January 21st (Martin Luther King Jr. Day) and Tuesday, January 22nd (Staff Professional Development Day).  Please mark your calendars.


Have a fantastic weekend and thank you for taking a few minutes to read this week's blog.

Sincerely,
