Dear Community:
Farm Stand Information: The third and fourth class will have a Farm Stand Thursday, May 11th, and on Friday, May 12th, 2023 from 1:30 to 3:00. . We are Asking for Donations of houseplants and perennials. They can be dropped off in front of the school on or before May 11th. Proceeds will go towards garden tools, animal food for our chickens and fish. It will also go to our seed purchases and other miscellaneous things having to do with our garden and more. Thank you from the Third and Fourth Grade Class.
Update from the PTO: The new piece to the slide for the playground has been installed! Thanks to Mr. Wolf for the work! We are ramping up for Teacher Appreciation Week starting Monday May 8th – we’ll have a full week of over-deserved appreciation for our teachers, and we are seeking volunteers cleared to work at the school on Thursday the 11th for a few hours midday – email worthingtonpto.ma@gmail.com if you’re interested!
We have the Mother’s Day Spaghetti Dinner and Raffle coming up on Saturday, May 13th – get your tickets starting this week – flyers were sent home! In conjunction with Lynn and Alex Lak of the former Conwell PTO, this will be an event to remember, and a chance to win some great prizes! Any questions, or to donate for the raffle or dinner, please call Lynn Lak at 413-238-4274.
