Special Morning Drop-off
A huge Thank You to the Manchester Police Department for donating “a ride to school in a police car” to our 2018 SJS Gala. This morning, the winning family – 2nd Grader Samantha R. and her parents – cashed in on their prize. Not only did Samantha and her parents arrive at the school in a police car, but they got to see the police station, sit in on a briefing, and stop by Starbucks for hot chocolate before coming to school. She also got a special bag of gifts that included a 9/11 angel pin. We are very grateful to the MPD for donating this special morning and to officer Bernie Hallums for going above and beyond to make it a very special memory for our winning family!
Instrumental Music Notices
Mr. Corcoran would like to remind students that permission slips for the band field trip are due Thursday. The office has extras if someone needs one. Also, please note, this Thursday – May 17 – all students will have lessons and band (grades 4-8).
Dot and Dash Robots
Our elementary students are having so much fun working with the new Dot and Dash Robots. Using a simple coding program on the school’s iPads, students are learning to program these little blue robots to perform a huge variety of commands. Here are some pictures we snapped today of Mrs. Moran’s 3rd graders working in pairs with their new robotic friends.
