Greetings Delaney Families!
We hope that you had a wonderful week. We sure did! Please enjoy this edition of the blog.
Thank You Mrs. Rouse!
At Tuesday night's School Committee meeting, School Committee member Michelle Rouse announced her resignation. Mrs. Rouse has served on the Wrentham Elementary Schools School Committee for the past 8 years. Mrs. Rouse always placed the students at the center of every decision she made. She was a true champion and supporter of high-level academics and educating the whole child at the Wrentham Public Schools.
The School Committee is currently looking for someone to fill Mrs. Rouse's seat. Interested individuals may send that letter to the Superintendent of Schools office at 120 Taunton Street. Those who apply will be asked to attend a meeting with the School Committee on Tuesday, January 21st at 6:00 pm at the Town Hall followed by a meeting with the Board of Selectmen and School Committee that same evening. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Martes, Interim Superintendent of Schools, at 508-384-5439.
Patriots Spirit Day!!!
Spirit Day Collection
For our Term 2 Spirit Day, the Wrentham Public Schools will be collecting new winter jackets, hats, or gloves/mittens between now and Friday, January 24th. It is our hope that the items collected will help provide children with warm winter gear for the cold winter months. Bins are set up in the Delaney and Annex lobbies for your convenience.
On Friday, January 24th, students are encouraged to wear mustaches to show their school spirit. Although participation is voluntary, we "mustache" you to join in the fun!
No School - January 20th
As a reminder, there will no school on Monday, January 20th in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. School will resume on Tuesday, January 21st. See you then!
Principals Coffee
A Principals' Coffee will be held on Friday, January 24th at 8:30 a.m. in the Vogel Auditorium.

Be on the lookout for a reminder/informational notice coming home next week.
Congratulations and great job to the Advanced Band! On Wednesday, they performed for the entire school as well as their families in the evening. The music was fantastic and all of the students enjoyed the performance. Thank you to Ms. Salazar for her outstanding leadership.

Grade Two Parent Math Night
On Wednesday, January 22nd from 6:30 -7:15 p.m. Dr. John Ribeiro, math consultant and the grade two teachers will be hosting a parent night in the Vogel Auditorium. Parents are encouraged to come learn about Grade 2 Common Core math standards and explore various way to add and subtract based on current teaching methodologies. We hope to see as many second grade parents as possible as this is a fantastic way to gain a better understanding of current math standards and to be able to most effectively assist your child at home.
Students in Mrs. Nunes' Kindergarten class were asked to bring in items that float as part of their science lesson. Great comparisons were made between sinking and floating items. Check out some of the wonderful pictures forwarded from Mrs. Nunes.
As always, thank you for reading.
Have a great long weekend!
Sincerely,
Melissa D. Peterson, Principal
