Note from the Kitchen
Bills went out this week. They were sent home with your students, unless you had a balance more than $40.00. Those were sent first class mail. The Kitchen operates with the income generated by lunch and snack sales. We are not part of the school budget. For example, if you owe $100.00, that is one week of produce. Please pay your balance in its entirety by June 16th. Thank you!
Library News
Please remind your students to return all Library Books.

At Tuesday’s School Committee Meeting, there was a restructuring of the Committee. Christine Triantos will be Chairman, Lauren Broussal-Vice Chair and Dewey Wyatt as Secretary. We’d like to thank Dr. Broussal for her eleven years as School Committee Chair and all her hard work. We are glad she will be remaining with us for at least one more year.
