Primrose Pandas are Respectful, Responsible and Safe |
Dear Primrose Families, Wow, what a busy week! We are more than ready for the break week. We started with the surprise announcement for the Golden Apple Award to our very own Mr Mark Vadnais on Tuesday. It was a wonderful surprise and hearing our students sing “It's a Good Day” as they cheered for him in the hall was an absolute highlight. Congratulations Mr Vadnais-thanks for all you do to bring music to life here at Primrose. I am THRILLED to share that Ms Canto and our third graders were able to spend time today in their new modular classroom and it will be fully operational when we return from the February break. The support and patience for this project is greatly appreciated and seeing their reaction to their new learning space is priceless. The Art Room will be set up upon return and all of our students will have time each week to learn and create in this new space.  Thank you for your participation in surveyworks it was such joy to have some of our PTO volunteers visit the classrooms with a hot chocolate treat for all the students. If you haven’t had a chance yet to respond to the survey, please use this link bit.ly/ridefamily to share your feedback. We can certainly add an additional treat to our plans for the week we return from break if our participation rate continues to grow! Have a fantastic break. Safe travels for those of you who are off to adventures beyond Barrington. Educationally yours, Coleen Smith |
