Dear Families,
We had such a great week celebrating! Field day was awesome, and our Kindergarten Teddy Bear Promotion Picnic was an amazing event to celebrate all of the hard work and growing our Kindergarten students have done this year! Special thank yous to Craig Barnard, our PE teacher, for planning such a fun-filled Field Day, and to all of the family volunteers- you helped to make it a huge success! I’d also like to thank our Kindergarten team- Ms. Bird, Mr. Bailey, Ms. Luttig, and Mrs. Abreu for your hard work to ensure the promotion picnic was a huge success! Another shout out and thank you to the PTO who helped to support both events by purchasing slush, equipment, water balloons, and items for the Teddy Bear Picnic! Working together, we have made it possible to provide our students with positive experiences and fond memories. THANK YOU!
Tonight is our PTO luau from 6-8 pm at Walnut Square School. We hope to see you there!
As we prepare for next year, please let us know if your family is moving. This will help us prepare the necessary paperwork to help you register your child at a new school.
If your child has any medicine in the nurse’s office, please stop by to pick it up. If you have any questions, please call our school nurse, Nurse Jillian, so she can help you at (978) 374-3471.
The Boys and Girls Club is closed next week. If your child went there after school, please send in a note informing us of how he/she is getting home next week.
Summer reading lists are available! Please check them out on this link: https://www.haverhill-ps.org/summer-reading-lists-2023/
Book checkouts at the Walnut Square Library have stopped. We are collecting all books so they can be shelved. Please return all Walnut Square books to the library. Your help and support with this is greatly appreciated.
The warmer weather is here! Please remember to send your child to school with a water bottle. We have water bottle filling stations. We have been using over 100 cups a day and would like to conserve them! Thank you for your help with this!
