From Mrs. Hubbard, Principal

What an exciting week at GWS! It was teacher appreciation week, and our staff members were showered with love and appreciation all week long. We received warm words of thanks, sweet treats, festive floral arrangements, and beautiful books for our classroom libraries. We are blessed to serve in such a loving and supportive school community. Thank you to our students and their families, especially our PTO members, for the kindness and appreciation shown to us throughout the school year.

Happy Mothers' Day to all moms, and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Save The Date - Scholastic Book Fair!

Scholastic Book Fair is coming to GWS May 20th- May 24th! Parents and guardians are welcome to shop with their children during their library time. We will have the eWallet option, which you can set up using the link below. You may prepay the amount that you wish to authorize your child to spend. Cash or checks (written out to Governor Winslow School) are also accepted. If sending in money with your child, please remember the sales tax of 6.25%.

Visit our Book Fair Homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping. Thank you for helping to encourage GWS students to read and for supporting our school!

Ms. Napoli is seeking volunteers to help set up our book fair on the afternoon of Friday, May 17th. Please contact Ms. Napoli via email (lnapoli@mpsd.org)

MCAS Continues Next Week!

It is very important that students arrive to school on time. Proper rest and a nutritional breakfast have also proven beneficial. Please send a healthy snack to school with your child on test days.

Calling all cake bakers!!

We are looking for volunteers to bake and decorate cakes for the musical walk at Springfest!

Please stop by the school office or have your child stop in and take some foil cake pans home.

1 box of cake mix fills 2 foil cake pans. If anyone would like to bake allergy friendly cakes (gluten/nut or dairy free) this would be appreciated. Each foil cake pan you can bake, cool and frost within the same pan. Cakes can be brought with you to Springfest on Wednesday May 22nd at 4:30 pm.

What is the musical walk?

As the music plays, students walk or dance around the circle, stepping from one numbered circle to another. As soon as the music stops, everyone stands on the number they are closest to. Then a number is drawn, read out loud and the person standing on that number gets a cake!
