DAVIS HILL COMMUNITY UPDATE
June 3, 2019
June is here! With the limited number of snow days over the winter, the end of the year is right around the corner. While it is moving a little too fast for me... I think that our students are ready for some summer fun. They've worked extremely hard this year and have grown immensely... some summer relaxation is definitely in order!
Please Note:
As the number of items requiring attention, meetings and general day-to-day needs (including my own three kids and their spring schedules) have increased as the end of the year approaches, I am having a harder time keeping up with email and my 'to dos'! I apologize for any delays in communication. I think it is going to be busy for the duration of the year, so if I miss something please don't hesitate to get back in touch. Thank you!
Have a great week everyone!
Kindly,
Jay C. Norton, Principal

FOOD PANTRY DONATION DAY: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5
We are excited to continue our Davis Hill tradition of supporting the Wachusett Food Pantry and helping our neighbors who might need an extra bag or two of groceries to get by. Your monthly generosity makes a HUGE difference! Davis Hill is one of the largest contributors to our local food pantry (see www.wachusettfoodpantry.org for more information)! The 'suggestions' on this list are JUST THAT-- suggestions. We will happily take any non-perishable, non-expired items. Collections are held the first Wednesday of each month from 8:45-9 am. (A bin will be left in the lobby for afternoon Kindergarten students and will remain in the lobby until Thursday for students who many have forgotten their donations that day).
June Theme: Crazy Hat/ Hair Day
June Suggestion: Good Morning! Coffee, teas, toaster pastries, breakfast cereals, oatmeal
