FW Used Bookstore Looking for Volunteers

Do you have one hour available to volunteer on a Wednesday morning once a month from 7:40-8:40?  I am looking for volunteers to help with our used bookstore.  You can bring your children with you.  I need people to help unpack our used books and set them up on the cafeteria tables, help students shop, and then pack up the books.  Students come down after they check in with their teachers to shop.  All our books are 50 cents or students can trade a book from home.  If you can help, please email me at dmurphy@bpsk12.org or call at 781-238-6859.  Thanks

A huge Thank You to the PTO for beautifying our school grounds!  The weeds have disappeared and the new mulch looks gorgeous. When you see these families around town, please thank them for a job well done! THANKS TO... The Woodbury's, Kosinski's, Collin's, Walker's, Brady's, Fricke's, Delaney's, and Gray's

Another Thank You to our Garden Volunteers this summer!  We grew numerous tomatoes, squash, and gorgeous flowers too. ⚘ Every year gets a little better and we are so fortunate to be working all together to make it happen. Thank you to these generous families...
Stead's, Bruno's, Ohols, Screnci-Hughes, Ruiz', Ellis', and Stefanowicz'

 Dates to Remember

First Day of School for grades 1 - 5 - September 5, 2017

First Day of School for Kindergarten - September 11, 2017

We hope you are all enjoying your summer vacation already!  The final 2016-2017 issue of the Falcon Times is ready for your review.  Click here to check it out.

We all enjoyed a school-wide SOAR Award on Wednesday... Hawaiian Beach Day. 

 SOAR Coupons were earned and the mystery puzzle was revealed! Students had the opportunity to participate in a school spirit day and were treated to ice cream during their lunch break!  

Burlington Education Foundation STAR Awards presented to Gail Sheehan, retiring after 23 years of service to the Burlington Public Schools!

 Ms. Colleen Small, Second Grade teacher...

And Mr. Todd Stead and Karen McIntyre, Fourth Grade teachers...

Congratulations to all our teachers and staff here at Francis Wyman.  We are lucky to have such a dynamic, dedicated group of professionals working with our students.  I hope you all enjoy a relaxing and rewarding summer vacation - it is well deserved!

Final SOAR Assembly

Perfect Attendance award winners!  0 absences, 0 tardies, 0 dismissals - AMAZING!

Mr. Levin presented Matthew & Shreya with the newly established Levin Library Award for their passion for reading and love of literature.  Congratulations to these 5th graders & thanks to Mr. Levin for joining us to present this award!

 Students were nominated by staff members in all grade levels and across all subject areas to receive awards for demonstrating Self-Control, Outstanding Effort, Acts of Kindness and Respect.  Congratulations to all our award winners and a shout out to all our Francis Wyman students that work hard each and every day to demonstrate our school's values!  You make our school an amazing place to work and learn!

Our last hurrah!  Francis Wyman staff participated in the end of the year tricycle relay race.  Representing the teams S, O, A, and R teachers quickly pedaled or pushed their trikes as cheering students encouraged them from around the gym.  Bragging rights were at stake and the competition was fierce, but emerging victorious was the S team (who says shorter legs can't be an advantage)!  It was a fun way to end a great year and usher in the summer vacation.

Thank you Cub Scout Pack 105

A great big "thank you" to Mrs. Lynch and Mrs. Davidson, whose Cub Scout Pack took the time last week to present new American flags to each of our elementary schools here in Burlington.  This dedicated group of young men found a way to give back to their community and their efforts are greatly appreciated!

I hope you all enjoy your summer and you find time to relax and spend time together doing the things you love to do.  See you in September!

Looking for a Few Garden Volunteers!

Francis Wyman Community Garden

This spring, our students planted a vegetable and flower garden next to the Burlington Community Garden.  It's going to be beautiful and productive with a little help from you! We are looking for Francis Wyman families to take responsibility of the garden for a one week time slot over summer vacation.  We will have simple instructions for you, but basically the garden will need some watering and weeding.  Families will be able to earn documented service hours. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Conley at 781-273-7613 or conley@bpsk12.org

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
