HHIIGGHHLLIIGGHHTTSS AANNDD TTHHEE WWEEEEKK AAHHEEAADD Polk Street Bulletin Week of March 7, 2016

Dear Polk Street Parents,

Just a reminder that report cards will be coming home this Wednesday in your child’s backpack. Given that

we are piloting on-line report cards though our school portal for 4th

grade, those parents can view the full

report card on our school portal site Wednesday afternoon. We would appreciate 4th

grade parent feedback

through the survey sent out by Mr. Lee regarding this on-line pilot.

Here’s to a great week,

Gil Torossian

th grade Sports Night is an awesome rite of passage and parents and students had an awesome time

with relays, ball rolls and obstacle courses culminating as always with a super 4-way tug –o– war.

Special thanks to our Emcee’s Mr. Cirone and Mr. Rigano, Parent Grade Chair, Mrs. Macri and all

of our fabulous parent volunteers for making the evening extra special.

Saturday’s Odyssey of the Mind event was an awesome display of district

wide creativity as students competed in mind challenging competitions like

writing and producing a play about a fable gone viral. Furs, Fins, Feathers

and Friends where teams depicted problem solving from the perspective of

three different animals. No-cycle, Recycle where teams created a vehicle they

you could ride on from reused or recycled trash.

All participants had a super time and created outstanding presentations

worthy of the medals they received at the culmination.

Congratulations to all of our participants and big thanks to Mrs. LaRegina

and her team of teachers, coaches and judges for this most successful event.
