Dear Center Community,
Many thanks to you and our CSPTO leaders for an enriching week. First, our staff were able to restock their supplies, what a nice surprise and treat. Fourth graders enjoyed an engaging presentation by, Rob Buyea, author of The Mr. Terupt series among others. Students continued to be inspired to write when he led writing workshops in each class.
Second grade students were excited to see an interactive version of The Little Riding Hood performance in Lowell. Check out their smiles in the pictures below.
Staff Update
Great news, Ishita Thakur has been hired as our new math interventionist and will start at Center on Monday, February 5th.
February 8th Professional Development- Volunteers Needed
We are busy planning for our February 8th building-based PD and could use your help. We have several parent and staff volunteers to have agreed to have informal conversations with staff about their cultural backgrounds and experiences. We will pair up volunteers so no one has to be alone. Please press here for sample conversation questions. We would ask the following:
Meet with 5 groups of staff members(approximately 10-12 people per group) for 20 minutes each, starting at 12:45 and ending at 3:15, at Center school
Lunch will be provided to all volunteers at noon.
Please email Dianna mailto:fulreaderd@chelmsford.k12.ma.us or call 978-251-5155 if you are interested or have any questions.
