Tiogue's Faculty & Staff Bulletin
APRIL 25, 2020 - No. 32 (COVID-19 Special Edition 5)
Distance Learning Week 6 - April 27 - May 1 - 5 Day Week - Stay the Course!
We mailed 27 letters to families and students who have not been participating consistently (or not at all). Kim and I were able to make contact with many of these families between Thursday and Friday of last week! Many were perplexed and thought that their kids were keeping up, etc. We explained otherwise. Hopefully we will see a turnaround this week. I'll speak directly with you about certain kids early in the week...
Congratulations to our winners from last Friday's TRIVIA CHALLENGE: 1st Place-Donna Costa, 2nd Place-Greg Tripp, 3rd Place: Petrina Lunardelli

Alan Shawn Feinstein's $10,000 Challenge - Let's do it! Encourage families to take part and send us pictures
$10,000 Challenge!
To our Leadership Schools:
We are inviting you to share in a $10,000 challenge we are offering to our schools. We are asking you to inform your students to place signs in their windows, thanking everyone who is working to keep our country going in this perilous time, identifying themselves as Feinstein Junior Scholars and with the name of their school.
Tag and share your signs with us! When schools reopen, we will divide our $10,000 among all our leadership schools that participated.
P.S. Let’s raise that $10,000 to $20,000!
P.P.S. No, better still, let’s make it $30,000!
Best wishes,
Alan Shawn Feinstein

Museum of Science in Boston - online access
With the Museum temporarily closed, we have launched a new digital Museum experience, MOSatHome , to support our community with high quality resources that engage students in STEM learning at home. It includes content from all familiar areas of the Museum with multiple live presentations throughout the day, creative engineering projects, podcasts, kid-friendly activities, virtual exhibits, and more.
We look forward to seeing you back at the Museum, but until then, please explore our resources and check out our ERC Recommends Booklist for some "Good Reads!"
