In other news, a few classes are enjoying various field trips and experiences in this first week of autumn. I was fortunate to join the 8th graders on their annual Sterling Pond hike this week. We had a beautiful day for it, and are grateful to Ms. C-H for her work in organizing this trip! Students in K-1 classes will visit Green Wind Farm this week, as part of our Outdoor Classroom programming. Thank you for your continued support of our school. Happy fall!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wood
