Math Awareness Month
April is National Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month. This celebration started in 1986 to help increase interest, appreciation and understanding of mathematics and statistics. Our elementary schools will take part in the celebration by being able to participate in weekly estimation challenges, biweekly math riddles, and the week after vacation (4/23-4/26) we will have a math spirit week. The math celebration doesn’t just have to take place in school! Students will be going home with choice boards for their grade level. These are OPTIONAL activities students can choose to complete and turn in to earn a certificate! Reach out to our math coach, Molly Farrell, with any questions: mfarrell@newburyport.k12.ma.us.
Lost and Found
We will be cleaning out the lost and found on Friday. Please stop by the Main Office if your child is missing an item. After Friday, April 12, all remaining items will be donated. Thank you!
MCAS Success!
Our 3rd graders wrapped up two days of ELA MCAS testing! The students worked hard and we are so proud of them! I would like to extend a “thank you” to the 3rd grade team and our related service providers for proctoring the test. And to Stacey Boucher, our technology integrator, who thoughtfully planned and organized the whole event. Great job everyone - we will do it again in May!

Mission Sox Sock Drive
We are so excited to announce the dates of our second annual Mission Sox sock drive. Mission Sox is an organization that we began last year to raise awareness for clothing insecurity, beginning with the most overlooked clothing necessity, socks! We collected and donated over 1500 pairs of new socks last Spring by putting “sox boxes” around town and in the high school. We used social media and an Amazon Wishlist to spread the message but word of mouth was the biggest tool.
Our goal is to gather over 2000 pairs this year and we need your help! We hope to place sox boxes and flyers in all of the public schools as well as the public library, City Hall, the Immaculate Conception Church, and the Senior Center. We want donating to be accessible to everyone so the whole city can take part in making a difference by helping people struggling with clothing insecurity and/or homelessness.
This will be starting on April 9th, the Red Sox home opener, and finishing on May 9th. Keep an eye out and spread the word!
Sincerely,
Isla and Jackson DeVivo
