Dear SATEC Families,

We are thrilled to announce that on Friday, March 14, SATEC will be featured on the Weather At Your School broadcast with Meteorologist Marissa Vigevani from Channel 5 News!

Students and staff are invited to join and be part of the live morning weather broadcast. Adding to the excitement, March 14 marks a lunar eclipse, making this a truly special event!

To get a preview of what a Weather At Your School event looks like, you can view past clips online at https://www.mynbc5.com/weather-at-your-school.

Event Details

The live weather reports will take place every 15 minutes, starting at 5:30 AM. Small groups of 5–6 students will participate in each segment, but all who attend will have a chance to be involved!

Weather Report Time Slots:
🕠 5:30 | 🕕 6:00 | 🕡 6:30 | 🕖 7:00 | 🕢 7:30
🕠 5:45 | 🕕 6:15 | 🕡 6:45 | 🕖 7:15 | 🕢 7:45

While waiting for their turn (or after participating), students can enjoy light snacks and watch the broadcast on a projection screen in the cafeteria—a warm space to relax before going on air.

To help us plan, we ask interested families to email Heather Lamson at hlamson@maplerun.org with the student’s name and grade level so we can create mixed-age groups.

After the live segments, Marissa will also be filming a special spotlight on our Kindergarten learners, who are just beginning their weather unit.

We are grateful for this exciting opportunity and appreciate Channel 5 News, as well as all parents who make this early morning experience possible for their children.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,
Christina Boissoneault
