South School

Principal’s Pen

 Dear Families,

It is hard to believe that Spring vacation is over and the end of the year is upon us. Where does the time go? It seems like the first day of school was just yesterday. This is a good time to reflect on the academic progress and learning that our students have made. What a great year! 

Thank you to all of the families who came to our first Math Family Night. Over 150 people came to celebrate math and learn some new games that you can play as a family. Our next one is on Wednesday, May 9^th. We hope to see many of you once again.

Another exciting event that is coming up is our Literacy Festival. This will be during the week of May 21^st. Note that on the evening of the 23^rd Lynn Plourde, Maine author, will be here for an evening of fun and celebration. I hope you will be here for this. It will be a fun night.

This time of year is a very busy time. The end of year assessments have begun and our calendar is beginning to look pretty full. Field trips, celebrations and other events will be coming up. Please look for announcements in your child’s backpack for dates and times of future events.

I would like to thank you for all of your support you’ve given our school this year. Thank you to our fantastic Parent-Teacher-Friends group who support our teachers and students. We couldn’t do some of the wonderful things here without all of you. As always, thank you for all that you do for your child. I look forward to a great end of the year.

Mr. Martin
