Electronic Backpack & Newsletter

Hello DeMello Families!
Hello DeMello Fridays!
We hope this newsletter finds you all healthy and looking forward to the first weekend of March! Spring is right around the corner--we can hardly believe how quickly the year is going by!
This week, we held our first DeMello Family Literacy Night of 2024 with our favorite storyteller, Len Cabral! Len Cabral has delighted the children of the DeMello School with his lesson-filled folktales for over 20 years. This year, he held 2 in-school assemblies with our students in school and then treated our families to an incredible evening performance. We hope that those families who attended enjoyed the show!
As I mentioned in a previous newsletter, we have some FUN literacy and math activities planned for the month of March. Each Friday, we will hold a schoolwide reading-themed day (see dates and events below). AND, our fantastic DeMello Math Team is bringing back MARCH MATHNESS, a bracket competition to see which classes can complete the most ST Math Puzzles. Be sure to ask your student what their class will win if they go all the way! We will be sending you updates as we move through the competition.
The DeMello staff and I wish you a wonderful weekend! We look forward to seeing your children back on Monday morning!
Best-
Mrs. Correia
