Good afternoon Barbieri Families,

The Barbieri Ultimate Hawk Challenge was an AMAZING TIME!!! Barbieri School exceeded it's goal!!!!! This money goes to students field trips, Bus Driver Appreciation Day, Staff Appreciation Week, Class gifts, School merchandise, etc. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your generous pledges! We are truly thankful for the incredible support we received from our community!

A very special thank you to Alisha and Sarah, our PTO Presidents, for overseeing this event! A special thank you to LeRoy and the entire Viking Sports Team for a fun filled day for all students!

Les deseo una linda semana a todos,

Maria

A friendly reminder that tomorrow we should not be bringing any candy to school and all costumes should stay at home for celebrating with friends and family in your own homes!

Thank you for your help!

Thank you to Mickey Johnson for supporting grade 3 teams with pumpkins for a special Math project this week!

Thank you to Leah Moens for supporting the in-house Kindergarten Field trip!

Kindergarten students are studying the “What is a scientist” unit. They participated in an in-house field trip where they will explored the ocean and touched live sea animals!

Thank you to our PTO for sponsoring this learning experience!

We are noticing an increase in the amount of toys, cards, dolls, and other personal items coming to school. They are not allowed in school. We are not responsible for these items. It is best to keep them at home safely for all children to be able to come to them when they arrive home. We appreciate your support with this! Children at this age become very upset when these items are lost. Please keep them safely stored at home.

We are excited to announce the return of Lego Club for third grade families this year. Please see the information in the sign up. If you have questions, you can contact Amy at apogoriler@framingham.k12.ma.us or Sarah at sarah.combes@live.com
