Dear McCarthy Families,
On Wednesday we gathered for a whole school Unity event against bullying. This was our first time gathering as a whole school since before COVID. All students sat in the gym to listen to a short presentation about bullying led by our Social Emotional Behavior (SEB) coach, Stephanie Tesorero. Morgan the Meerkat also made an appearance and students took a pledge against bullying.
On Saturday the PTO sponsored the McCarthy Pumpkin Fair. Families enjoyed all that the fair had to offer. Thank you to all that attended, volunteered and participated!
We are looking forward to another wonderful week,
Ms. Sancho, Mrs. DiDonato, and Ms. Page
