VETERAN’S DAY RECOGNITION
P.C.M.S. students and faculty
are sponsoring a Veterans' Day Assembly on Thursday, November 10, at 1:15 in
the school gym. If you know of veterans
who would like to attend, they simply need to R.S.V.P. at 876-4301. Our sixth graders are going to present a
choral reading as well as flag work.
They are doing an awesome job in practice.
A MESSAGE FROM MR. BELLEMARE

doing their annual Holiday Giving Campaign.

necessities or l play item they can call:
Carrie 876-3312 or 876-3407. If
they would like to donate a toy or money call Carrie or drop off things at
Guilford Key Bank, Guilford Rite Aid or the Guilford Library. If they could call before November 5th it

Grade 6 students have just
completed their skeletal system and they are all hanging from the ceiling in
the health room. Mrs. Allen will be available in room 225 to meet with parents
during student-led conferences next Wednesday and Thursday beginning at 5:00 PM
both days following the CLC fitness program she runs at Guilford Primary.
STUDENT LED CONFERENCES NOV 9
& 10
You should have received a
notice about the up coming conferences with your child’s mid-term report. Please make an effort to support your child’s
learning by coming and giving them a chance to explain to you what it is they
have been learning since the beginning of school. If by chance you didn’t receive a notice,
please call school and sign up.
BASKETBALL TRY OUTS NEXT WEEK
Sixth graders are eligible to
try out for basketball this year. If you
need to get paperwork signed and turned in, please do so before you go to try
outs next week. If you played fall
sports, your paper work should be in order.
GRADE SIX CHANGE CHALLENGE IS
UNDERWAY
Each year at this time, the
sixth graders bring in loose change to throw into a bucket. We count the money (a good math lesson), and
give it to the local food cupboard to purchase turkeys for holiday
dinners. We think it is important to
teach children to think of others whenever we can. Last year we were able to buy eight turkeys
with loose change! Let’s see if we can
match that figure to raise it this year.
BABY IT’S
COLD OUTSIDE
After a beautiful summer and
fall, the weather has turned cold. We go
out every day, unless it is raining, so please bundle those kids up. They need jackets, winter coats for some
days, hats, and mittens.
VETERAN’S DAY OBSERVANCE
There is no school on
November 11, in honor of those who serve our country. Take time to talk to your child about the
sacrifices others have gone through, and are still facing today.
WEARING OF THE
A reminder that hunting
season started Nov. 1 and runs through Nov. 26.
For safety sake, please wear orange when you are out and about.
