Hello Brophy Community,

This is a bittersweet week as we are glad to spend some much needed time with the people we love most, but sad to say goodbye to our special guest, Dr Tremblay. Dr. Tremblay's residency was a special experience. He greeted families in the mornings, walked the hallways, read books to students, met with teachers, and treated us to some yummy donuts and cider. He even attended a PTO meeting where the PTO board presented him with his very own Brophy bulldog. Before he said his final goodbye, our Brophy students were able to thank him in the 12 languages that are spoken in our community. The pictures above capture some of the cool moments.

Finally, I wanted to extend a thank you to all of you. These past few months have been a dream. I am most grateful for your partnership and for the special moments I spend with your children. From bonding over sneakers, earrings, and food. To hearing the very common "WOW you're sooooo tall" or "Hola Ms Mandes" with a huge smile and frantic waves. I am MOST grateful for those moments. I hope you all find time to do what you like most with the people you love most. For those of you who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving.

Gratefully,

Jessica Mandes

The character trait for the month of November is gratitude. Students engage in a community meeting, hosted by Ms Nawoichik and Mrs. Rivera. During this time, students were able to talk about gratitude, discuss what it means and things they are grateful for. As a way to make this monthly event feel like a community, Ms Barbrie practiced a song with every class in the school so that they could sing together, as a community. Check out the 10 second clip to hear how proudly they sang the song. It brought us all so much joy.

Barbieri School and Brophy School give a special thank you this year to the student athletes of Team New England!

Thank you to our schools' support teams for their planning and collaboration. A special thank you to Jenny Perez, Brophy School Wraparound Coordinator and Rebecca Salguero, Barbieri School Wraparound Coordinator.
