Hello, Presumpscot Community!
It has been a great week at Presumpscot. Grade 5 went on their first PE field trip with Amy Pires to Portland Community Squash. They had a wonderful time! Next week, Grades 4 and 5 are heading to the STEM Expo at Talbot.
We will also be sending out Trimester 2 report cards next week.
Better World Day:
Better World Day is Friday, May 3rd, 2024, and we have a plan! Read Natasha Vandegrift-Martinez’s update below.
Rebecca Maiorano had an incredible idea to collaborate with Portland Trails to spruce up our school trail, and Jamie, from Portland Trails, agreed. So, the day of, students will go out to the trails and work on getting them back into great condition with volunteers from Portland Trails. They also agreed to help me with one of my goals this year in turning the trail into a learning walk.
News from Nurse Nell:
As we head into "spring," we have lots of wet weather ahead of us, and we still go outside every day. Please send your child with appropriate outdoor clothes AND a change of clothes in their backpack. We have many kids come looking for dry clothes, and if we don't have any, we may need to call you to bring some in. Thank you!
