Thank you to the teachers, classroom helpers and room parents for the ever popular Classroom baskets. Thank you to all the volunteers who help with setup, working the day of the carnival and cleanup.

Thanks to Kim Daly for running the Cake Walk & for anyone who was able to donate a cake! Thanks to True North, Super Cuts on Mall Rd, Al Fay & the Burlington Fire Dept for donating their products & time! To Carol Macri/ReMax for the balloon! Thanks to Lynn Barnstein for organizing all of the volunteers! And to Julie Gosselin, the cafeteria staff & the custodial staff for all their help. Finally, to all of the families who came to support the school for this wonderful fundraiser!

It's a group effort to have such a big event go off with such ease! A huge THANK YOU to everyone, especially Deb Murphy and Michelle Grossman for the tireless hours they put in to make this a special day.

Teacher Appreciation Day

Springtime always means it's time for our Annual Teacher Appreciation Day!! This year we will be holding the event on May 7th.  

This is a great event for the parents to give something back to the teachers for all the hard work they do. See below for the list of the items needed to make the breakfast and luncheon a success.
