National Elementary Honor Society Induction Ceremony (NEHS)
We are very excited to honor 22 students this Thursday, January 16, at 5:30pm to induct them into the National Elementary Honor Society. There is ceremony here at Quashnet. This is a tremendous honor, and very few students qualify annually to become a member of NEHS in grades 5 or 6.
Students and families of these students have already done the work required, and RSVP's went home to these families this past week. We hope that if your child is getting inducted, you are able to attend.
Change of Date for 5th and 6th Grade Social
Please be aware that due to a community event happening the night originally planned for the 5th and 6th grade social, we have moved the date of the event to the evening of Friday, January 31, 2025. The event is for all 5th and 6th students who would like to attend and runs 6:00pm-7:30pm.
Quashnet Winter "Sweet Treats" Art Exhibit
Please come view beautiful artwork created by Quashnet Students. The exhibit will be open to families the same days and times as the concerts (January 28,29,30, 5:00-6:00pm).
Hat & Hood Fundraiser
The student council will be hosting their annual Hat & Hood fundraiser every Friday this month to raise money for their upcoming fifth and sixth grade social. For the fundraiser, students of all grade levels are invited to wear a hat or hood for the entire day in school. In order to wear their hat or hood, students must pay $1 to the student council and receive a bracelet for the school day signifying that they have permission to wear a hat/hood for the day.
This fundraiser occurs for the upcoming four Fridays in January, 10,17,24,31.
When students arrive at school there will be student council members stationed near all the doors selling the bracelets. All student's faces must still be entirely visible when wearing a hat or hood on these days. All the money goes back to the students, for them spend on prizes, decorations and other items for the fifth and sixth grade social.
