Appreciation

We would like to say thank you to these groups who recently supported our students through their thoughtful donations.Exxon Mobil has given us $500 toward Science and Math coding materials to expand student technology skills.
The Child Study Committee has provided our students with beautiful books that assist them in learning about self-confidence, kindness, and friendship.

Message from the Principals

Dear Beaver Brook Families,

Our students had some enjoyable events this past week.They enjoyed the PTO sponsored Magic of Science show on Thursday. Students celebrated friendship on Valentine’s Day. Friday, students were able to participate in Free Book Friday. They selected books to take home to read during vacation.

February’s character trait is friendship. Students will be learning about the words and actions that promote being a good friend. Some great books to borrow from the library to start conversations at home about friendship are:
"Stick and Stone" by Beth Ferry,
"Be Kind" by P. Zietlow-Miller,
"Frog and Toad" series,
"How to be a Friend" by Laurie Krasny,
"A Friend Like You" by Andrea Schomburg,
and "How to be a Friend" by Molly Wigand.

Abington Food Pantry Donations
Thank you to our families for your generosity. Our assistant principal and custodian brought hundreds of containers of food and paper goods to the food pantry. These supplies will support neighbors and our student families who may need a boost during their time of need. Our students experienced how they can demonstrate filling someone’s bucket by being kind and caring through helping others. All donations were picked up this morning and were greatly appreciated.

Kindergarten 2019-2020
If you know someone who has a child who will be 5 years old by August 31, 2019; please share that we will be hosting incoming kindergarten student registration by appointment between March 4-8, 2019. Paperwork and a program overview can be found on our website Abingtonps.org. or you can still pick up a packet and sign up for an appointment in March to complete the registration process. If you have any other questions, please call our office at 781-982-2185. Parents needing a Portuguese interpreter may schedule a registration appointment for March 8, 2019. Call 781 982 2185 to make a registration appointment.

Guardians/Parents who sign up in My Bucks to pay or add money to their child’s lunch account may follow the directions under Food Service (on website www.myschoolbucks.com) so you can receive an electronic alert when the account is low on funds.

We welcome our students back to school after vacation on Monday, February 25. Parents are invited this week to help us prepare student art work for our art show. Contact PTO.
