What a fabulous show! We hope you were able to attend our school production of Shrek, The Musical
Jr. this past weekend. The children’s performances were amazing. Our congratulations to our student
performers, the cast and crew, Mrs. Benoit, Mrs. Cronin, Mr. Simpson, Ms. Kramer, Mrs. Lucano, and of
course, Ms. Haneman! Thank you for two wonderful evenings.
The 4th Grade’s Entrepreneurial Spirit!
The students in Mrs. LeCloux’s and Mrs. Arcuri’s class have been learning a lot about the business
world. On Friday, the children demonstrated their expertise by marketing their newly created food
products to their classmates, parents and guardians. It was, by all accounts, a sweet success!

The 5th grade students did a project on “Respect for Life” in which they took a quote from Mother
Theresa or Mattie J.T. Stepanek. Mattie had a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Mattie has since died but
