Miscoe Hill Newsletter

The book fair is THIS WEEK, 10/28-11/1. As you consult the teacher schedule below, please note that some teams are attending during their ELA classes while others are attending during WIN block. We will not be able to allow holds this year. Please help avoid disappointment by sending cash or checks payable to Miscoe Hill PTO on the correct day, or by setting up an E-wallet. E-wallets are a great tool because you can set it up today and not worry about which day they will visit. Click here to get started.

Please also consider making a donation to our Share the Fair account to support students in need within the Miscoe community, as well as put more books in classroom libraries. You can add to it when you set up your E-wallet, or send a cash or check donation in with your child in an envelope marked "Share the Fair." Thank you for supporting reading within both your own home and our school community!

The whole school turned out today to watch their teachers take on the challenge of playing the Miscoe Hill team! In a sea of pink, students cheered as the girls defeated their opponents 25-23, before turning over the mic to Coach McInnis who explained why wearing pink is so important in October. Check out the article posted here which celebrates our $4,700 in funds raised for Milford Regional Healthcare Foundation!

If you didn't catch the School Committee meeting last week, the girls talked about why this month was important for them to participate in. Check it out here at the 15min mark.

A quick shout out to Mr. McInnis for his leadership in working with and guiding our students. The school-wide event was full of positive energy, we wish we could have captured it in a bottle!

This Week:

• Monday: End-of-season Miscoe vs Nipmuc JV game! Hosted at Nipmuc at 4pm, it's always fun to challenge our sister team!
• Tuesday: Miscoe @ Bellingham at 4pm for our final game (AT BELLINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL)
• Friday: Volloween at Miscoe! Teams should register with Ms. Rhodes or the front office by 10/30.

Flu Season is Here!

Influenza causes more hospitalizations among young children than any other vaccine-preventable disease. The single best way to protect against seasonal flu and its potential severe complications is for children to get a seasonal influenza vaccine each year. Flu vaccination is recommended for all children aged 6 months and older. Making healthy choices at home and school (frequent handwashing, getting enough sleep and eating healthy) can also help.

You can find out more about protecting your child from the flu by clicking on this link.

As the seasons change, we’re experiencing those chilly mornings and warmer afternoons. Many items are often left out at recess and end up in our lost and found. We encourage families to remind their students to check the lost and found for their belongings. Please note that any items remaining after dismissal on Monday, November 4, will be donated on Professional Development day, November 5. Thank you for your help!

The items in the picture below can be claimed at Miscoe Main Office and not Lost and Found.

7th and 8th graders…Get ready for a night of fun and games! Volloween will be on Friday, November 1st.
