Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year!
Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

Welcome! We have an exciting year ahead of us. This year you will be part of a team. Mrs. Somes and I work together. She teaches ela (english language arts), while I teach math and science. This year we have a late lunch (12:25 pm), so please bring a hearty, healthy snack and a water bottle every day! Your brain and body need energy in order for you to do your best. A highlight of your year will be our trip to Truro, but we have many other exciting classroom activities planned as well.
