Specialists Request:
Hi South Row Families,
As we head into the colder weather, the specialist team at South Row is in need of tissues and baby wipes. We would also like a few bottles of hand sanitizer for the classrooms. Thanks so much in advance and you can bring donations to the office for distribution.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE THIS!!
Schoolwide Fall Reading Challenge: Starting Tuesday October 11th through Monday October 31st we will host a schoolwide reading challenge based on minutes read at home. Similar to our challenge last year, students will be sent home with a sheet that they can use to record the minutes they are reading (or being read to) at home. Each time your child reads for 20 minutes please send in one item from their sheet to count towards their grade level minutes. At the end of the month the grade level with the most minutes will win a prize.
Virtual Parent Presentation: On October 27th at 7:00pm, Cindy Goldrich (see flyer below) will present to parent on the topic of essential strategies for parents with students that have ADHD and Executive Function challenges. Staff enjoyed Professional Development with this presenter in September. We hope you will consider joining us.

October Kind Act - Coat Drive!
October Kind Act at South Row: We are partnering with Anton’s Cleaners in Chelmsford this month to collect new and used coats for both children and adults (all sizes) as our Kind Act for October. Anton’s will professionally dry clean every coat collected and will distribute to families in need through a network of local social service agencies in the area. We will have a collection box in the main lobby through October 31 so please clean out those closets this fall and consider donating any coats you may no longer need to this worthy cause.
