This Week on the Ridge

Happy December! On Friday morning, we were greeted with the sweet sounds of festive tunes from our Piano Ensemble! Additionally, we welcomed a new school nurse this week. Welcome to Nurse Sweet!

Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the classroom Spelling Bee rounds this week! We are so proud of their bravery, hard work, determination, and excitement for spelling. Our grade-level bees will take place next Friday, December 12, in the MPR during specials, and we look forward to cheering on our finalists. Families of participants are invited to attend and celebrate our amazing spellers!

We have had a great series of in-school grade level assemblies over the past two weeks, focused on both upstanders and community.
 

Reminders & Updates

Coffee with the Oak Ridge Administration:

You are welcome to join us on Thursday, December 18 @ 9:00 AM for coffee and donuts for an informal conversation and updates about the Oak Ridge School. We would ask that you RSVP to Mr. Brogioli (kbrogioli@sandwich.k12.ma.us) by Dec. 17 so we have an accurate headcount. Thank you!

Recess and Cold Weather:

We make every effort to get students outside for recess, even as the weather turns colder. Students need to be dressed appropriately with hats, gloves/ mittens, and coats. We still get students outside in snowy conditions, but to play in the snow, we require students to wear snow pants and snow boots.
