Dear Farley Families,

Enormous thanks this week goes to caregivers Gilma DeFranzo and Lainie Dougherty for planning, organizing, and executing an incredible Farley Give Back Bingo night. With their help and the generosity of many Farley families, we were able to raise over $2700 for our dedicated staff member Anne Hubert. Anne and her entire family-her mom, son, brother and sister-were all in attendance and overwhelmed by our community's love and support. Special thanks also goes to the over 30 local businesses that donated prizes for our raffle. Gratitude also goes to the many staff members that came to Bingo night after a long day of work. This is just one more shining example of how strong of a community we are here at Farley and how our school culture radiates positivity.

This Sunday is finally Farley day at the WooSox! I can't wait to watch the game with all of you. The game starts at 1:00 but first pitch is around 12:40. The weather is looking perfect...not too cold...not too hot! Thanks again to caregiver Lainie for organizing this.

Next Friday-the 26th, is our Memorial Day Celebration! All are welcome! Caregivers can meet us outside at the baseball field at 9:20am. If you are a Service Person or Veteran being honored, please report to the main office. Hope to see you there!

Read Always,

Rachel Scanlon (she, her, hers)

As many of you know from reading about our Farley Gives Back Bingo Night, our beloved cafeteria staff member, Anne Hubert is battling cancer. Anne's friend JoAnne Kierce Rhodes has created the "Team Anne T-Shirt Fundraiser". If you would like to purchase a t-shirt, please email JoAnne @ teamanne23@gmail.com with a size and color choice (pink, blue, light green). She will let you know how you can go about paying for the shirt and where you can pick up it when it is ready!

Here is a message from Mrs. Strauss our Music Teacher:

We will be having a Memorial Day Celebration assembly at Farley School on Friday, May 26th at 9:20AM. Please save the date because you are invited to this outdoor presentation!

More information can be found on the Memorial Day Flyer here. English, Portuguese, and Spanish fliers are all linked on the same document. Hard copies are being sent home this week. The second page (backside) of this flyer contains information about our honored guests. If you or a close relative to your child is a veteran, serviceman or woman, or a member of the armed forces, we would love for you/him/her to come to the assembly and be honored for the service to our country. Please fill out the form or email me directly with the same information at clstrauss@hudson.k12.ma.us.

Lastly, we have already started to work on patriotic music in music class, so please share this link with your child(ren) at home so they can continue to practice for the celebration.

Thank you!
