Deer Hill Need to Knows

Absence Line & Email Address: 781-383-6115; DHS-notes@cohassetk12.org.

End of Term 1: Term 1 ends today. Teachers are analyzing data and reviewing student work in order to complete progress reports which will be published in Aspen on Friday, December 13.

Festive Sweater Spirit Day: On December 20, we'll have a Festive Sweater spirit day. Don't feel the need to buy anything -- often the best spirit comes from shopping closets and craft supplies to be creative. Hugo has his sweater picked out and can't wait!

Deer Hill Happenings

CHS Band & Chorus: One of the most festive parts of the season is our annual visit from the Cohasset High band and chorus. Everyone enjoyed the performance of winter favorites!

Fire Department Assembly: Half of grade 3 enjoyed a safety presentation by the Cohasset Fire Department. On December 17 the rest of the grade will get a turn!

BASE program math art

Mrs. DeSalvo's class composts their snack trash -- way to go green!

Hugo in the House

Hugo on Instagram: Keep up with Hugo's adventures on his Instagram account, @Hugo.Dogberry

Holiday Gift Idea: Looking for a holiday gift? Our own Hugo has a page in this coloring book which can be purchased on Amazon. How fun to color Hugo and his fellow comfort dogs!

Hugo's New Bulletin Board: Hugo's board was updated with some photos of Deer Hill staff. Students have been having fun guessing who is who!

Flyers of Interest

Below are events and happenings that may be of interest to you.

CHS Student Coat Drive: Hello everyone! I would like to inform you all about a student run coat drive from December 2nd to December 20th. Coats can vary from size to color, just make sure it is not overused (ex: broken zipper). This donation would be a huge help to families that are cold over the winter. Remember: Recycle, Reuse, and Keep Someone Warm This Winter!!!!
