Evacuation Drill

This morning we had an evacuation practice drill and the students and staff
did an amazing job! Please read the safety bulletin we handed out at Parent Seminar for more information about our safety protocols.

GREEN and Healthy Lunch at Steward

The children at Steward are eating  lunches with a variety of nutritious fruits and vegetables. They are also recycling, composting and stacking their REUSEABLE trays. We thank our new company, Whitsons, for the healthy food options, the GREEN team for being present during the first few weeks of sorting after eating and the cafeteria staff for making the shift to REUSEABLE trays to help us GO GREEN!

Reusable Lunch Containers

I could not believe how many children were using reusable containers for their lunches on Friday! I had to make the transition myself. 

Back to School!

We are so excited for the children to arrive and for our Kindergarten Orientation on Thursday!  We are looking forward to a great year.  I hope your family had as much fun this summer as the Costas.  We know that the 2015-2016 school year will be a great one. Welcome back! 

Mrs. Costa in the Paper

There is an article in this week's paper about the incredible organization, MESPA, that supports Massachusetts principals. I must say that I co-presented at this conference with Mrs. Edelstein who plays such a critical role in the school-wide implementation and emphasis on social and emotional learning! Thank you, MESPA and Mrs. E!

Look who we found!

Lucy and I are at Angela's on Route 1 today and look who we found...Miss Sideri's twin, Anna! The pizza was delicious and the restaurant is owned by her family! 

Field Day

Sorry this is so late.  I had a lot of trouble getting this to post!

We loved field day! Thank you to Mr. Dienstmann and all of our amazing volunteers. You did a great job managing the games and helping the children throughout the day. Please check out Mr. Dienstmann's website, which has descriptions and video of the games,
so you can play them this summer! We played, danced, got very dirty and ate a lot of watermelon!
