We are all WICKED thankful for the many wonderful treats we received this week for Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week! Thank you to the entire community for the donations of food items, gift cards, and flowers, as well as the personal notes of appreciation. We are WICKED lucky to work at Cole School with such a supportive community. A big shout-out to Mrs. Brennan for her leadership in making it all happen!

It was a very busy week with Math MCAS in grades 3 and 5, the Revolutionary Reception for grade 3, the North and South Rivers Watershed program visiting grade 5, Variety Show Rehearsal, and all the excitement around Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Cole School moms, grandmoms, stepmoms, and people that help stand in for moms when needed...we hope you all have the most amazing day!

This week's Magnificent Meerkats were nominated for their great attitudes when coming across challenging tasks and for their leadership skills and consistently exceptional behavior in and out of the classrooms! Ms. Howell was nominated this week for being a kind, funny, and helpful teacher! Way to go, Meerkats!

We continued our Volleyball Unit this week! All grades worked on striking, bumping, setting and serving over the volleyball nets.

Save the Date - Cole School Art Show from 5:00-7:00pm

Stop by to stroll the halls of Cole School to view student artwork and catch a sighting of a whale shark, complete a scavenger hunt and raffle, and enjoy the company of the Cole School community!
