Now is the month of Maying, when merry lads are playing!
Each with a bonny lass, a-dancing on the grass!
The spring, clad all in gladness, doth laugh at winter’s sadness!
And to the birds’ clear sound, the nymphs tread out the ground!
-modified from the song by Sir Thomas Morely
(nymph: a mythical spirit of nature imagined as a beautiful maiden inhabiting rivers, woods or other natural habitats)

Our third and fourth grade hosted their annual Literary Tea on

an attentive audience. A lovely time was had by all. Thanks to Ms.
Currier and Ms. Graikoski for this inspired idea and to Lisa and Rick
for helping set it up with us! Also thanks to Emma, Kaylin and
