From the Admin Team
Dear Plympton Families,
We had a great week here at Plympton!
On Monday the Mass Audubon brought Nature Detectives to school for the Kindergarten students. On Tuesday the 4th graders were treated to the Rainforest Reptile Show. Thank you to the PTO for arranging these wonderful opportunities for the students.
Next week is the Fun Run! Thank you to all who volunteered to help out! We are looking forward to this event. We are also excited about our Family Literacy Night on March 27. Please see below for more information!
We hope you have a fantastic weekend!
Sincerely,
Adrienne Norris and Amanda Brennan
