Stories in Action

 Oh, what a night it was! Stories in Action took place on Friday, March 1 from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. in the library. Students had the chance to meet service dogs and trainers from Fidelco, make slime, test their knowledge of the 25 nominated books with artifacts, weave a friendship bracelet,

appear in a Pizazz Talent Agency Variety Show, and solve the greatest art heist in history in a breakout room. Plus each cake, munch an ice cream sandwich and drink contaminated water (Thirst, IYKYK!)

Such a fun time, thanks to the hard work of our teacher and parent volunteers!




















Bement's winning book!

 The readers have voted, and Stella by McCall Hoyle is our winner! We will forward our votes to Salem State to be included in the state tally. The state winner will be announced next month.


School BOTB Champs!

 The Barn was buzzing in excitement as the School BOT Tournament took place on February 26. Our grade-level winners and the wildcard team faced off in a showdown of book knowledge.

Congratulations to Grade 5, Anna, Astrid, August, and Matthew on their decisive win!

Thanks to all of our Battlers this year!
