Wednesday evening was our Open House. We have made it a tradition to start with a family BYO picnic before the Open House begins. It was so nice to see families chatting and enjoying each other's company on a cool, crisp evening.

After the picnic, the families came into the building to see their children's classrooms. Mrs. Perreault and Mrs. Bruns had scavenger hunts for the families that took them all over the building.

In the multipurpose room, we had information about the school, apparel they could purchase, and events that are coming up. But the biggest hit by far was our free raffle: A ride to school in a police car.

It was a fabulous evening!

This week, the students in 2nd, 3rd, & 4th grades completed their American symbols research projects! Mrs. Bruns was so impressed by their hard work and perseverance as they used multiple resources for their research. After completing their written projects, they had the opportunity to create paintings to represent their symbols.

This week, students continued to participate in team-building games and activities. The teamwork skills of cooperation, collaboration, communication, and caring were in full force while participating in our hula hut relays, ice cream cone relays, move the hoop, and more. Mrs. Harris was extremely proud of the teamwork displayed by our students during these activities. They really stepped up to the challenges presented to them with perseverance and great attitudes.

We were lucky enough to have STEM-MoBILE from UNH Manchester visit yesterday. The students used sodium alginate and calcium chloride to make hydrogels with mock cells inside, learning about cell structure. After the activity, they were able to explore the STEM-MoBILE lab, which had microscopes, models of a brain, bones, and many other fun, scientific, hands-on objects. The students LOVED this program.

Dot Day is celebrated every year on Monday, September 15, 2025, in honor of the book "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds. The book tells the story of a young girl who gains confidence by making a simple dot on a piece of paper. The creativity that comes from a single dot is endless, and boy, did our students have a blast being creative. Thank you, Mrs. Bruns, for bringing Dot Day to TES.
