  30 Days, 30 Prizes and more!

Earlier this week we held our 7th Enrollment Lottery. We had 175 applicants who reside in  24 towns, including Manchester. Among the group  10 languages other than  English  are spoken. This year's Lottery Official was Helen Davies, SNHU's Director of Community Relations. Thank you Helen! 

As you can imagine, processing so many applications requires a  Herculean effort. These days, Ms. Susanne
handles much of that work. Please join us in thanking her! We'd also like to thank Ms. Shannon and the Parent-Volunteers Kim Spencer and Angelica Kashulines who rounded out the Lottery Day Team. We are looking forward to meeting our new kinder class this spring when they come in for their interviews. Thanks to all of you who helped spread the word during our Lottery Enrollment Period.

 Reminders from the Front Office

Is your child missing a pair of gloves, hat or sweatshirt?!

They're probably at school!

Next time you come into school, please check out the coat rack and lost & found bin in the entry hallway.  Anytime there are unclaimed articles of clothing at school, this is where we put them.  The coat rack and bin are both  FULL

Next Friday, March 30th we will be donating any clothes left in our Lost and Found! 
Please retrieve your child's belongings before it gets donated to someone in need.
