Thank You!
Our third graders participated in the ELA portion of RICAS and did a wonderful job! Thank you to everyone who supported this process.
Thank you to all who completed the RIDE Surveyworks survey! The winner of our Market Basket gift card was raffled off and the winner was Laura Bello! Congratulations! Teachers will be receiving and sending home a list of students who will attend the SurveyWorks mini field day. If you completed the survey and your child is not on the list, please let us know and we will add them to the list. Any mistakes that may occur are unintentional and we want to be sure not to leave anyone out.
Our DEAR Day was very much enjoyed by all. It was great to see children reading the books they wanted to read without interruption.
I want to thank all of you for being so kind and supportive, always. Have a beautiful, safe vacation and I look forward to seeing everyone back at Greystone on Monday, April 25th.
Thank you Briana Macintosh!

Quote of the Week
"You are enough."
It’s time for you to stop doubting yourself and to truly believe you are enough. You are an incredible person. If you believe it, no one can ever tell you that you’re not. Be exactly who you are. Do not try and change it. You are enough. Don’t compare yourself to others. Stop feeling that everything you do is not good enough. Your self-worth is innate; you can’t earn it and you also can’t lose it. It’s time to let go of the negative thoughts you keep telling yourself. Love who you are. Your students need you to just be you.
