Our Penny War to End Hunger has started. We will again be raising funds to donate to Good Neighbors. Last year we were able to raise over $1200. Our goal this year is to try to match that. There are points for each coin value and the class with the most points at the end of the week will get to choose a reward for the school. Please help if you are able.

It was a pleasure to have the Rowe Fire Department visit all the classrooms today. The students got to meet some of the firefighters, learn some fire safety info and even check out the trucks. We appreciate all that they do for the school and community!

Kids Night Out
It was a perfect day for a morning of community service on the trails at Pelham Lake Park and afternoon pond exploration with our guest teacher Dorri from Mass Audubon! We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful landscape surrounding our school.

Five 3rd and 4th grade students use nets to explore a pond in the foreground, with a cloudy sky and mountainsides in the distant background.
Tadpoles and salamanders are removed from a ponding net, with a basin below already full of other creatures including newts, dragonfly larvae, and water boatmen.
A view of the woods along the Beach Trail, the trail that the 3rd and 4th grade class is helping to maintain as part of the Park's "Adopt-A-Trail" program. The sky is blue with the sun shining through tall, leafy green trees.
After School Chess Club is off to a great start! Participants have been analyzing ways to escape check and playing practice games.
