This week marked the completion of our sixth day of the new school year! Though it was a short week due to Labor Day on Monday, it was a busy one as we returned on Tuesday for four days of learning.
On Tuesday, our Preschool and Kindergarten students gathered with Mr. Perruso and Mr. O'Connor for a special assembly to introduce the school’s new "Bucket Filling" initiative. The excitement in the room was palpable as our youngest learners listened attentively, eager to understand how they can help "fill buckets" with kindness, respect, and positive actions throughout the school year.
We were incredibly impressed by how well-behaved and engaged the students were during the assembly. They sat quietly, eyes wide with curiosity, and showed such wonderful listening skills—an amazing start to their journey of being respectful, kind-hearted members of our school community.
It’s clear that our little ones are already off to a fantastic start, and we can't wait to see how much they’ll grow—both in their understanding of "bucket filling" and in their overall development—over the course of the year!
On Friday, we warmly welcomed our new Kindergarten parents to the PTO-sponsored "Boohoo, Yahoo!" event in the cafeteria. It was a wonderful morning filled with conversation, as parents had the chance to connect, share stories, and bond over the joys (and maybe a few tears!) of sending their little ones off to school for the first time. The event provided a supportive space for parents to reflect on the first week of Kindergarten, whether they were feeling the bittersweet emotions of the "boohoo" or the excitement of the "yahoo."
A big thank you goes to our amazing PTO co-presidents for organizing and hosting this special gathering. Their efforts helped create a sense of community and support for our Kindergarten families as they embark on this new adventure!
Our students are starting to settle into their new routines, and it's wonderful to see their confidence grow as the year gets rolling. With our first full week up ahead of us, we're excited to dive even deeper into learning and growth now that the year is in full swing!
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead,
Christopher Perruso
Principal
