FW Safety
We will be
conducting a Code Blue practice drill sometime next week. We want you to be aware of this because the
teachers will be discussing the procedure with their students. In addition, the police department will be involved and
on-hand for the practice. Please do not
be alarmed if you see a police car in our parking lot. As usual, if you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to call the office.
“Wee Deliver”
Neither rain nor sleet nor dark of night will interrupt
Francis Wyman’s “Wee Deliver” mail service.
Students throughout the grades write letters as our third graders
deliver them in a small-scale simulation of a postal system. This activity
encourages student writing in an authentic setting. While students learn to properly write and
address a letter, “Wee Deliver” encourages a sense of community between the
grades. “Wee Deliver” will begin Friday
, February 1 and run through Thursday, February 14. Each room will have its own address so if you
would like to mail a letter to your child (no packages or food please), drop it
off in the mailbox by the office. It
must be properly addressed and must include a make-believe stamp, such as a
sticker or a drawing. School room
addresses will be ready next week.
“Wee Deliver” is more than a slogan – it’s a guarantee!!
Jump
Rope for Heart
The Francis Wyman School and Physical
Education Department is proud to announce the Jump Rope for Heart event to raise funds for the American Heart Association
will take place February 4-15, 2013. The money our school raises will help fund
potentially lifesaving research into heart and blood vessel disease and stroke,
which are our nation’s number 1 and 3 killers, according to the American Heart
Association. It will also fund the development of materials that teach the
importance of heart health and staying fit. Please contact our PE teachers if
you have questions:
Neil Rebelo, 781-238-6847 or Pat Magee 781-238-6837
