Dear Parents and Guardians,

Here we are in the middle of winter and we have already had a couple of school delays and cancellations. I am sure many of our students enjoyed the snow days home, but this weather has made for some difficult driving conditions. Let’s hope we make it through the rest of the winter safely. It won’t be long until we see the snow melting away and the bright spring flowers coming up!

Sheafe Road has been just as busy as always. We have had some very educational and enjoyable assemblies for the students. In January the Tanglewood Marionettes were here once again and we also held a Robo Media Assembly. Students also had a chance to attend the Storycrafters Assembly.

This year our Band and Orchestra held their concert in January. We have such fine budding musicians at Sheafe Road. They put on an excellent performance. Once again, the PTA hosted our annual Reflections ceremony at the end of January. Many of our students had their artwork displayed and it was a fantastic opportunity to integrate the arts and the education of our children. Once again, we held our D.A.R.E. graduation for this year’s fifth grade students. They have successfully participated in this beneficial program that has been provided by the local police department.

In closing, I would like to thank you all for your continued support of your children and Sheafe Road School. I look forward to the second half of the year being just as successful as the first half.

Sincerely,

Franco Miele, Principal
