Read Across America
FFES had an exciting week celebrating “Read Across America.” NEA's Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading the week of the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss. We enjoyed Spirit Days, based on our favorite Dr. Seuss books (can you guess the days from the pictures?) and many wonderful, guest, community readers. We even made Channel 4 WBZ news!
Kindergarten students R.O.A.R.!
Also, they may just be in kindergarten, but they know how to “R.O.A.R.!” Kindergarten students at FFES filled their grade level cauldron with coins earned by demonstrating Respect, Ownership, Accountability, and Responsibility. They celebrated with popsicles and p.j.’s, what could be better?!

Cat and Dog toy Service Project
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr., Ms. Strauss’ 4th grade class decided to do a service project. Students made dog and cat toys for animal shelters and dog pounds. Students made sure to use safe materials when making the toys so that the animals don’t get hurt or injured while playing with them. Ms. Strauss' class also made sure that the toys were well engineered so they would not break. After the toys were completed, the class brought them to the Cat Clinic next to NMES as a donation.
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

PSMS Art at Big Al's in Manomet
Throughout the month of March, select PSMS students will have their artwork on display at Big Al’s Restaurant in Manomet. This is the beginning of a school outreach effort to collaborate with local vendors and community partners. At the end of the month, current pieces will be replaced by the work of other students. Thank you to Mrs. Rioux for coordinating this initiative.
Studying Evolution
Students in grade 6 science classes are learning about how different species have evolved over time. Working in teams, these budding biologists are creating visual displays to represent what they have learned about various biological adaptations and why they likely occurred.

Congratulations PNHS Math Team!
The Division Title is only one indicator of a successful season for the PNHS Math Team. Plymouth North was undefeated in Division 6 this year and has been undefeated for the past few years. However, every meet continues to be highly competitive and challenging. The top 10 schools out of 38 participating schools of the Southeastern Massachusetts Mathematics League (SMML) go on to the play-offs for the League Title. PNHS ranked #8 and is honored to be going to the play-offs on March 7th at Bridgewater Raynham High School.
Special recognition to this season’s high scorers: Jeff Yang (junior), Nicole Cayting (junior co-president), Lydon Taylor (senior), Adam Capozzi (sophomore) and Matt Jenkins (senior co-president). Coach Melanie Dolloff is quick to remind the team of each member’s contribution to and support of the team’s success.
