Kindness Matters
Our SRS Community was very generous this week sending in warm and cozy socks. These will be donated to homeless adults in Boston and children in foster care on the South Shore. Thank you to Student Council for sorting the socks for us!
Students created Kindness bookmarks that will go to some very happy senior residents at the Hannah B. Shaw Home in Middleborough and Bay Path Nursing Center in Duxbury. Bookmarks will also be in the library for students to take and use.

PTO News
Volunteers: Keep an eye out for volunteer opportunities coming up!
5th grade parents: Thank you to those who have sent pictures so far. We still need lots more to make this yearbook great!! Please click here for details.
BOOST donations: It is never too late to donate to BOOST! This is perhaps an even more critical year as we navigate a new way of life at school. Donations, targeted at $100 per family, will be used in many new and creative ways to keep learning fun and meaningful. Some ideas are: school-wide enrichment such as skype with authors, individual recess equipment, an expansion to classroom libraries, and the Reader’s Workshop program. Our fundraising program, BOOST, is simple: 100% of your donation goes to student enrichment and activities - no asking aunts & uncles to purchase products for which the school gets little money in return. Checks made payable to SRS PTO – BOOST can be sent to the SRS office or mailed to SRS PTO, PO BOX 758, Marshfield MA 02050. Online donations can be made via PayPal here.
If you have any questions, please email us at southriverpto@gmail.com.
