Good Morning! As part of the Jump Rope for Heart community service project, the Boston Celtics have also offered 4 complimentary tickets to any school that raised at least $1,500.   Since Parmenter raised over $5,000, we will receive the tickets!   Any student who raised money will be entered into a raffle drawing and two winners will be chosen.   Each winner will be given two tickets to the April 16 th Celtics game vs. the Washington Wizards and I will also send the Celtics contact information home with the winners in the event families would like to purchase additional tickets.   The raffle will be conducted as soon as we receive the tickets from the Celtics.   Thank you again for your participation in Jump Rope for Heart!

This month, all students will begin their hockey units in PE and will begin safety and injury prevention in health.  In PE, students will work on dribbling, passing, shooting, and will even participate in a modified hockey game!  In health, K-2 students will learn about school safety, bike safety, water safety, and fire safety.  Students in grades 3-5 will explore online safety, first aid, water safety, and strangers.  In other news, our first graders will have two more creative movement lessons from our Dean College Dance Intern and fifth graders will be screened for scoliosis during the first week in April.   Nurse Richardson has already sent a letter home explaining the scoliosis screening, but if your healthcare provider has screened your child for scoliosis in the past year, then your child does not need to be screened again at school.   Happy Spring!

Students in grades 3-5 recently completed our annual Jump Rope For Heart Community Service Project and I am SO PROUD of all of our heart heroes!   As a school, our goal was $2,500.   Not only did we meet our goal, we more than doubled it!!   We raised $5,329 for the American Heart Association!!   Thank you so much for participating and making a huge difference in the lives of others!!   I’ve included some pictures of our Jump Rope for Heart stations as well.   I hope everyone has a wonderful vacation!!
