This week's blog is chock-full of information including upcoming events and happenings. It also highlights many of the great achievements of our students. Please enjoy!
As part of the 25th anniversary celebration, Open Circle sponsored a contest for students in grades K-5 to submit poetry, art or a video that answers the question "What is Open Circle?". The Delaney School submitted both individual and class submissions and I'm so excited and proud to share with you that we had two winners!
Congratulations to third grader Hannah S. who received a 1st place award for her entry!
Congratulations to Mrs. D'Egidio's first grade class who received Honorable Mention for their video entry!
Open Circle is a universal Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program focused on two goals:
- Strengthening students' SEL skills related to recognizing and managing
emotions, developing care and concern for others, establishing positive
relationships, making responsible decisions, and handling challenging situations
constructively
- Fostering safe, caring and highly-engaging classroom and school communities
Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations to the following students who received Positive Referrals this week. Students were recognized for being caring, kind, considerate, and helpful. Super job!
Third grade students participated in the Mathematics MCAS on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Each and every one of them should be commended for the hard work and determination they demonstrated while answering multiple choice, short answer, and open response questions. Great job boys and girls!
