Our school-wide P.R.I.D.E. assembly on the Friday before vacation was so FUN! The students filled
a 5 gallon jug with marshmallows they earned in their classroom for “following directions.” The
students worked hard to achieve the goal of filling the jug and getting the reward of having the
school staff follow some of their directions!
Mrs. Sheehan and Mrs. Holbrook had to face-off on a cup stacking challenge...Mrs. Squatrito and
Mrs. McGrath had a cartwheel contest...Mrs. Bertrand and Mrs. Kennedy performed a rap
song...while others performed and danced to a “Just Dance” video! Mr. Callahan was a good sport
to take a pie in the face!
