From the Principal's desk:
The year is winding down...but not over yet!
I just wanted to thank the community for a wonderfully productive year.
Just in case you are new to Dale, I want to go over end of the year events.
Fifth Grade Activities
The culminating event for fifth graders in the Fifth Grade Celebration on June 23rd at 10 AM in the gym. Parents are invited to this event. The celebration is where we share memories about the Medfield elementary experience (about an hour). Parents are asked to sit in the bleacher seats. Students will be assembled by class on the gym floor. After the ceremony parents and students will go back to classrooms for the end of the year gathering which allows parents and students to gather in the classroom and share an end to their elementary school experience. This is the "end of the year" party. We are asking that room parents coordinate light refreshments such as some fruit, pretzels, a small baked treat, water and maybe lemonade. This is a special event to share with your child.
Students spend the afternoon exploring and signing their new yearbooks. Many, many thanks to the CSA yearbook team for making this such a wonderful production. Having been a yearbook advisor at a middle school, I know first hand how hard it is to do. We can't wait to see it!
If you haven't ordered a book yet, there are forms in front of the office on the notice rack or on the school website in the Thursday packet.

Fourth Grade Activities
Last year the fourth grade teachers tried an alternative the traditional classroom party that in the past had left everyone exhausted and crazed. We came up with the Fourth grade Gathering. This event was a chance for all the fourth graders to play together for a bit before they stepped up to be fifth graders. It was in lieu of a classroom party. In theory it was a good plan, except that both parents and teachers missed the opportunity to gather as a class for one last event. This year teachers will be having small classroom get togethers to celebrate the year and a fourth grade gathering on the 24th of June in the afternoon. Parents are invited if they wish to attend.
