Dear Intermediate School Families,
As we start to head out on our end-of-year field trips, we want to thank all the parents who will be joining the boys and girls and their teachers, as field trips simply could not happen without chaperones’ help. We also want to thank the PTO board for all their hard work in facilitating our fundraisers, which allow every child to attend the trips at no costs and cover the transportation costs as well. We are so very grateful.
MCAS for Grade Five:
Grade five will take the science MCAS tomorrow and Tuesday. We appreciate your support in having your student in school by 8:30 a.m. with a fully charged chromebook with its charger.
Bravo GRAIS Chorus:
A great big shout-out to all the children who shared their beautiful voices with us this past Thursday at our spring concert, as well as to Mr. Duff who worked so hard to plan, prepare the children, and present the performance. We look forward to our band’s show next on June 4th at FLMS. Thank you to Mr. Higgins, Mrs. Blell, and Mr. Johnson for the use of the FLMS auditorium for both of these shows.
GRAIS PTO Board:
The next PTO Zoom is at 7 p.m. this coming Tuesday. The meeting ID is 477 737 8775 and the password is graispto.
