• I am pleased to announce that I have hired a permanent music teacher. She will be shadowing Ms. Julie next week and then will begin teaching on Feb. 3rd. I want to deeply thank Julie for filling in as our long term sub while we looked to fill the position. She will be missed!

• Report cards will be coming home the end of next week. Please note, because of the turnover in music this semester, students will not be receiving any music grades.

• 5th and 6th grades are holding a few raffles with some amazing prizes. One is the calendar raffle with a chance to win a prize every day throughout the month of February. The other one is a raffle for 100 gallons of propane or oil donated by Suburban Propane. See below to find out how to buy your tickets!

The PTO and the 5th /6th grade classes are having a Hillside Pizza

fundraiser that will run through January 24, 2025. Orders will be ready for pickup on Thursday February 6th, just in time for Super Bowl Sunday.

All orders and payments (cash or check) need to be turned in to the school no later than January 24th. Checks should be made payable to Colrain Central PTO.

Profits from this fundraiser will support student activities, with a portion going towards the 5th and 6th grade nature’s classroom trip. Every student is encouraged to participate.

Pickup will be on February 6th from 3:30pm-5pm in the music room. Any questions can be emailed to Tawnya Graves

Thank you for supporting our students and teachers!

MTRS is putting on a Spring Musical to be performed on May 2nd and 3rd of 2025. We would love to involve students in Grades 5 & 6 in this show. At this stage we would like to find out who might be interested. In January, Director Paul will schedule a student meeting for students in grades 5 & 6 at MTRS to see which roles students will take in the show. A parent information meeting will also be scheduled for January/ February with information about rehearsal and an opportunity to ask Paul logistical questions.

Places will be limited to the first 15 students who sign up: Spring Musical Interest

If you have questions, please reach out to Director Paul: Stagedirector@mtrsd.org
