Principal's Note...
Our fifth grade Student Ambassadors have been hard at work developing a newsletter from the students' point of view. We are so proud of their creativity and proactive thinking! I can't tell you how impressed I am with them!
Take a moment to check out their current newsletter...very cool!
Have a great weekend!
Best,
John

School Building Project
Art Show Volunteers Needed
Yearbook Ordering
This is a reminder to purchase your child's yearbook ASAP as the deadline is fast approaching. The final deadline, April 16th, is over April Vacation this year. I highly suggest you make your purchase by the end of next week, so you don't have to remember to do so when school is out for vacation.
The yearbook is going to be 80 pages of color photos of the ENTIRE student body. Creating the yearbook each year is a labor of love and this one is shaping up to be as fantastic as ever.
All orders need to be made online by April 16th. To order please go to https://ybpay.lifetouch.com Our unique school ID code is 12301018. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or have any problems placing your order(s). My cell is 617-549-7804 and my email is april.lynn.johnson@gmail.com.
Art Room Volunteers Needed!
Please consider volunteering in the art room. We have started printing, weaving and working with clay and it requires many hands.
We are also in need of 1 gallon zip lock bags, and baby wipes for hands. Please consider donating any if you have them.
Thank you, Mrs. Yutkins

Help Wanted!
We are currently searching to bolster our substitute pool for the 17-18 school year. Many of our favorite substitutes have secured full-time jobs recently (hooray for them), and we need to "restock our bullpen." Do you know someone locally who has experience working with children in a school setting? Please have them email Mrs. Dodge directly at dodgec@mersd.org and we can take them through the application and screening process. Thanks so much in advance!
