The Braintree Buzz
Principal's Update
We had a busy, HOT week here! Students are spending a lot of time outdoors. We have sunscreen available, and students are also welcome to bring their own.
Please check out how we spent our week!
Summer Garden Care
One way to support Braintree is to tend our garden beds over the summer. Volunteers visit ~2 times during the week to complete any necessary watering or weeding. Without family support to maintain the gardens, there will be no produce or flowers in the fall. Please consider taking on a week!
Release the Trout!
On Thursday, intermediate students took a trip across the corn field to release the trout they lovingly raised from eggs. They were the largest trout in Braintree history! Then we took advantage of the beautiful day to swim and relax.
K-6 Field Trip
Airplane Math
Measurement & Physics in First & Second Grade
Ms. Richards' class tested different paper airplane flights before designing their own planes.
First Grade Donut Shops
First graders designed their own donut shops in math. They created menus and "bought" ingredients to determine appropriate pricing for their donuts. Then they celebrated with donuts from Ms. Gershon.
Little Libraries
Summer Meal Assistance
PAWS Assembly
We had our final PAWS assembly of the year on Wednesday, run by Ms. K's class. Students filled the token bucket and earned an ice cream party, which was the perfect celebration in Thursday's heat. It was wonderful to recognize the students who have been most embodying our PAWS characteristics lately. We also celebrated Nurse Brooke who is getting married this summer.
