Principal's Note...
Wow! It is almost time to turn the calendars to April...time is flying! This means that it is almost time for our Springtime Concerts, Art Show, MCAS, and NICE WEATHER! Please see the dates/info below for more information.
A BIG thank you to the MMPTO who recently donated money to buy some new recess equipment for the nicer weather! The kids are really enjoying the jump ropes, balls, wiffleball sets, and chalk! Thank you so much for your support!
Have a great weekend!
Best,
John
From the Manchester Bike and Pedestrian Committee...
Our school would like to learn how students get to and from school. This information will be used to plan safe and healthy transportation options for all students. The survey will take less than 3 minutes to complete. Please complete one survey for each child by Friday, April 6, 2018. You can fill out the survey online at www.masaferoutessurvey.org. If our school receives a 50% response rate or higher our school will receive a $250 Visa gift card to be used towards safe walking and biking initiatives. Thank you!

Help Wanted!
We are currently searching to bolster our substitute pool for the 17-18 school year. Many of our favorite substitutes have secured full-time jobs recently (hooray for them), and we need to "restock our bullpen." Do you know someone locally who has experience working with children in a school setting? Please have them email Mrs. Dodge directly at dodgec@mersd.org and we can take them through the application and screening process. Thanks so much in advance!
