After an unusually mild and dry winter, February
has finally brought us some snow and, to the
delight of most students, two school closings. Our
first casualty of winter weather in fact came last
month, when the PTO's annual all-school party
Wilson Farms
Tuesday, Feb 23rd
had to be postponed. Happily, "Moonlight Over
Paris" is now rescheduled for Saturday, March 5,
from 6:00 to 10:00pm in the gymnasium. This is
an event for the entire family, featuring French
food, wine, dancing and activities for the children.
It is always a highlight of the year for our community, so let's hope the
weather gods will smile on that evening.
Bake Sale and Food
Drive Challenge
More than 3,000 pounds of
food collected by the Middle
Schoolers for the Arlington
Food Pantry!
On Saturday, April 9th, the school will hold a very different, adults-only
event. This is our annual fundraising Gala, and this year's party, "Odyssey,"
will be held aboard a ship that will spend the evening cruising in Boston
Harbor. The Gala is not only a wonderful evening of food, drink and
entertainment; it is also one of the main sources of financial support for the
school, an essential component of the Fund for Excellence. As you
probably know, the Fund this year is helping to pay for the extensive
renovations of the Matignon Convent, for which we are about to sign a 20year lease. In fact, our target to start construction work is early April, so the
Gala falls at an auspicious moment.

So I encourage as many of you as possible to attend both these upcoming
events. In the meantime, I want to wish everyone in our community a
