Greetings Marcia Buker Families!

I hope this finds you enjoying the first signs of spring. The crocuses are up, the sap is running, and the urge to break soil and plant seeds has filled many hearts!

We would like to thank those of you who could come out for conferences on Thursday. We estimate that about 72% of our students were represented by a parent or guardian, which is great, especially given how much communication goes on between teachers and home! Be sure to reach out if you have any questions about your child's progress.

PT ConferenceParents and guardians should have received progress reports, which were sent home in your child's folder or handed to parents who attended conferences. Reach out to your child's teacher with any questions.

We will start off the last full week of March with a presentation from the Chewonki Foundation, which will be visited by all classes, PreK - 5! Student and adults enjoy learning about the history, habitat, and nature of the featured animals, meeting some of them live.

We will end the week with an Early Release day on Friday and the PTG Candy Bingo Friday evening. You can see the details below.

In partnership with you,

Mary

It Takes a Village

A heartfelt thanks to the PTG and Gary's Quick Stop for providing the pizza dinner on conference night! Since, we start at 3:00 PM and end at 7:00 PM, teachers have little to no time to arrange for their own meal. The generosity is deeply appreciated!

Candy BINGO: A great way to help the PTG sponsor conference meals for teachers and events such as the Chewonki program is to participate in PTG fundraisers. One of the most fun is Bingo Night! Join the PTG and other families for Candy Bingo this Friday from 6:00 - 7:00 PM in the Marcias Buker gym!
