Parents/guardians must accompany their child to Arts night.
There will be two food trucks on sight to purchase food. Cash or credit cards accepted.

The fifth grade will be having a dessert bake sale.
Due to the high volume of visitors, limited parking spaces, and the capacity of the auditorium and gymnasium, please limit your time in the building to your children's performances and a visit to the Art Show. Let's make this a fun and memorable experience for everyone!
*3rd grade students should not forget to bring their recorders!
*5th grade band students should not forget to bring their instruments and sheet music!

Food Services Update
- Each student can receive a free breakfast AND a free lunch each day at school.
- Beyond the one free breakfast and lunch, additional meals or extra food / beverage items that a student wishes to consume, can ONLY be purchased using funds though MySchoolBucks. Through this platform, caregivers add funds and students can spend those funds only on food items. Learn more about MySchoolBucks and add money today: https://www.framingham.k12.ma.us/Page/2534
- All schools will be cashless. No cash will be accepted at any school, so you must make a MySchoolBucks account and add funds if you want you student(s) to buy anything extra. Again, all first meals at breakfast and lunch are free, this only applies to second meals and a la cart purchases.
