Hi Tenney families,

Hi Tenney families, this is Mary Beth Donovan with a call on this lovely Tuesday night!  A few important things: MCAS continues tomorrow for our 3rd and 7th graders. Tomorrow, they take the second and last math test. And Thursday and Friday our 4th and 8th graders  take the math tests on computers, which is a first for our school. Parents,  you have done a great job getting your children to school on time on testing days and ready to show what they know. Thank you so much for that and I know you will keep up the good work! And speaking of good work, our fabulous PTO  meets Thursday night at 7 in our staff lounge. It's time to elect the officers for next year.  If your child has gone on a field trip, been treated to breakfast during MCAS testing, is looking forward to Fun Day, it's because the PTO has made these things happen.  You are invited to be part of this wonderful, caring community. I hope to see you Thursday night. And finally, our Upper School will host a mini Relay for Life Friday afternoon to raise awareness for cancer research and honor those who have battled cancer. If your child would like to make a $1 donation, we will send it to the city-wide Relay for Life held this weekend.
