Alumni Day at Steward



Today we celebrated the 50th anniversary of Steward School and had some special guests, former teachers and administrators.  The morning started with refreshments and old photos and then an all school assembly to reminisce and sing Happy Birthday to Steward School. The guests visited classrooms and shared memories of their time at Steward and the event ended with a tour for the alumni.  Thank you, Larry MacElhiney for planning a great day!!

Happy Mother's Day!

I wanted to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all of the female caregivers in our Topsfield Community!  Thank you for caring so much for our Steward School children and sending them to school every day so loved and happy.  Have a wonderful day tomorrow.  You deserve it!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

The teachers at Steward School celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week with a breakfast from TESPTO and an assembly to celebrate their accomplishments.  The teachers at Steward School deserve more than a week to honor their dedication and enthusiasm!  The children did a flash mob to the song, "Happy" by Pharrell Williams today.  I wish I had photos but I was so nervous I didn't photograph it.  Please send me your photos from the big show.  Teachers...you make us HAPPY!!!

Preschool Mother's Day Tea

Children in Miss Carol's class wrote cards, danced with their moms or close relatives and had some "tea" to celebrate these amazing women in their lives!
