Message from Mrs. Saunders......
"Tigers Lead with a ROAR"
Welcome Back! I hope you had a relaxing break filled with family, friends and fun.
Our teachers enjoyed meeting with you during parent conferences. Setting goals is an important part of your child's educational process and we appreciate your partnership. Research shows that students perform better when they have clear goals to accomplish. Together we can provide the very best educational experience for all of our students.
We would like to thank Mrs. Mitra Sushinsky and her committee for all their hard work in making the Book Fair such a huge success. The Teachers and Librarian are all so appreciative of the donations of books.
Running Club begins this week. You can log your Running Club miles for the Final Mile Challenge. We have many participants for the Final Mile on Sunday, November 6th. Remember to turn in your running logs. Thank you to Mrs. Schulman and Mrs. Francis for organizing this great event. I can't wait to see all of our students crossing the finish line.
TesoroTutors Math Club for 6th grade resumes this Thursday, October 13th, from3:10 to 4:10. Please make sure that you child is picked up promptly. Thank you.
Saugus High School is providing students in grades 5th - 8th with the opportunity to explore S.T.R.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, arts, and manufacturing) activities on Saturday, October 22nd from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. The interactive event will take place at Saugus High School. The suggested donation is $5 online and $7 at the door. Check out their website WWW.STREAMKIDSEXPO.ORG for more information.

Please use the valet line for drop off and pick up. If your child has signed up to participate in the valet or escort program, please remind them to be diligent in honoring their commitment *students should arrive at 7:45 a.m. on their appointed day(s). Please have your children use designated crosswalks at all times. Safety is our number one concern.
We ask that students coming to school (grades 1-6) enter the playground using the front gate. Kindergarten students and parents please enter through the side gate. The gates open at 7:50 am.
