Dear Florence Roche Families,
The Book Fair is Coming! Our PTA sponsored Scholastic Book Fair will be here the week of October 25th with a family shopping night scheduled for Thursday, 10/28 from 5:30-7:30. In celebration of reading and the upcoming book fair, Florence Roche students have been presented with a reading challenge that will begin next week. Each class will have a target number of minutes to read over the 2 weeks with a total school goal of 5,250 minutes. Rumor has it that Mrs. Taylor and I will be outfitted in memorable costumes if our students meet this goal. Knowing our readers, I better get my costume ready! Be on the lookout for more information coming home from our PTA.
The Groton-Dunstable SEPAC is sponsoring an evening with speaker Jon Mattleman on Thursday, 10/21 from 7:00-8:30. This virtual parent and caregiver presentation on how we can manage anxiety, optimize resilience, and keep our family in balance through the influence of COVID-19. Here is the link for more information and to register for the virtual presentation. Jon Mattleman Presentation
