Welcome Back! VOLUNTEERS WANTED

Only hours left to hour summer vacation. Our first PTO Meeting is Wednesday, September 12 at 8:30 am in the cafeteria. We would love for you to come and learn about our PTO activities.

 Our Loop volunteers are parents and teachers - they are not paid to help! It is thanks to them that morning drop off goes smoothly and safely. If you are dropping off your child in the Loop, won't you consider volunteering for 20 minutes by opening doors and assisting students to the sidewalk? Please contact Carolyn Gagnon at gfbloop@gmail.com if you are interested in helping.

Did you know that our library is completely run and staffed by parent volunteers? This is a fabulous opportunity for parents with not-quite-school-age children to help students find books and help with reading. Learn more and sign up for volunteer opportunities with this form. (This form also has a sign up if you are interested in being a room parent.)

We look forward to seeing you.

It was great to meet all the new kindergartners and parents. New students traded stickers, played in our new playground, made puppets, got temporary tattoos and balloon friends.

Special thanks to Ms. Preble and Ms . Rosenstein for bringing Twister Pieces Clown Creations and Puppet Showplace. All the students loved making puppets and getting balloon creations.

Mr. Gobiel was onsite providing information about school registration night on August 20th where you can sign up for school transportation.

For Kids Only Afterschool and Winthrop Parks & Recreation had tables to provide families with information about after school programs and activities.

The PTO is very grateful to Mrs. Pearson, Mrs. Finn, Ms. Fox, Ms. McGrail, Mrs. McGrail and Ms. Feeley for attending.
