Peter Noyes Friday Flyers

Dear Noyes Families,

Happy Kindness Month at Peter Noyes! The students showed their spirit by wearing different colors for Food Pantry Week. Thank you so much for any donations you were able to send with your child. It is deeply appreciated. We have been highlighting acts of kindness in February and participating in the Food Pantry is an excellent example of kindness in action. Thank you for your help!

Parent / Teacher Conferences

Although it feels like we just shared report card information, we know that Parent / Teacher conferences will be here before we know it! These are generally shorter conferences, but all families are encouraged to come in (or meet virtually) in March. The early release days that are set aside for Parent / Teacher conferences are: March 6, 13, and 20. Teachers will communicate about how to sign up for your time slot soon. If there are specific topics you want the teacher to address, it is helpful if you share this in advance of the conference.

Update on Colby Caravaggio

I’m excited to tell you that Mr. Caravaggio has been accepted into the Dana Farber Clinical Trial. He was admitted to the hospital this week for the first part of this Phase 1 trial where he received the immunotherapy medication and remained under observation for a few days. This process will be repeated three weeks later. During these absences, Colby’s daughter, Kat, an artist in her own right, will be teaching the class. Ms. Kat, as the students call her, is currently working with the students on their Square One Art projects. She was here last week to work alongside Colby to get prepared for taking over the art classes and we are so grateful to have her join us.

You’ve Got a Friend

Speaking of Mr. C, the latest Mr. Gorgone music video was dedicated to our beloved Colby. Students watched it this week in music class and we also shared it at the all-school gathering too. Mr. Gorgone’s work is extraordinary and we are so grateful to have his magic at Noyes. Mr. C and his family loved this video. Check it out! It will warm your heart too.

Warmly,

Annette Doyle
