Have a great vacation and stay healthy!

Hi Families,

Mrs. McGinnity reached out and asked if I would send a reminder email to everyone before tomorrow morning! The third graders had a visit from meteorologist Jacob Wyckoff from WBZ today. He took a great group photo of the kids and he is going to be on tomorrow morning between 7:00-8:00 and again between 8:00-9:00. He said that he would most likely be able to show the photo around 7:30 but is never really sure. Just wanted to get the message out so everyone knows! I have attached a couple of the photos to this email.

Have a wonderful break and happy holidays!!
