PARENT TESTIMONIALS

Over the coming days, we’ll be spotlighting our Middle School enrichment activities. These enrichment classes meet each week and give students a chance to either dive into a new topic or explore a favorite interest in more depth. Today, we`re excited to introduce Fifth and Sixth Grade ceramics. In this class, students are building foundational skills in both hand-building and wheel techniques. They’ve been creating pinch pots, coil pots, and slabs, and are also learning the basics of wheel throwing, including centering to form bowls, vases, and other shapes. Glazing will be introduced this week.

Congratulations to the 7/8 Coed Soccer Team for their outstanding performance at the MVSL tournament this past weekend! After three intense games, the Herons finished just two points shy of a tie for first place, securing third overall. The team played with heart all season, consistently worked to improve, and supported each other as true teammates. It`s always a bittersweet moment when our Eighth Graders play their final SRS game.

It`s pumpkin season and an opportune time to explore how living things go through distinct stages of growth. Mrs. DiMaggio’s and Ms. Connor’s Kindergarten students explored the life cycle of pumpkins in science class and then used their fine motor skills in a hands-on activity involving coloring, cutting, and pasting to help them remember each stage.

Catch up on the status of the SRS Middle School Cross Country Running Team in this recap from Coach Matt Hicks:

"The SRS Cross Country Running Team has had a successful season. This small but mighty group of runners works hard to improve their performance in practices. They run hills and intervals and work on long runs and speed. The true test always comes at the races, where they line up against dozens of other runners and fight for each place. All runners have seen significant improvement since the start of the season and the future looks bright. The team will conclude its season with the Tri-County Championship in Nashua on Saturday, October 19."

Good luck, Herons!

If you`re picking up at The Birdhouse at the end of the day, you`ll likely catch a glimpse of the Kindergarten and First Grade after-academics scootering. They are fun to watch zooming around the quad.

Last week, the Third Grade took a trip to Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, where they had the opportunity to explore the fascinating world of raptors. During a classroom session, students got up close with a broad-winged hawk, barred owl, and eastern screech owl. With guidance from the instructor, they learned what defines a raptor and explored the unique adaptations that help each bird thrive in its natural habitat.

After the lesson, the students ventured along the nature trail, observing various native animals. Some of their favorite stops included visits with the otters, the bobcat, and the outdoor natural playground.

Coach Connelly`s 3/4 Soccer Team had an outstanding season! Caitlin reflects on their journey below...

What started as a team of young and inexperienced players grew to become a group of hardworking, motivated, and forward-thinking athletes!

At the start of the season, this group of players spent time learning proper kicking techniques, field positioning, and rules of the game. They came to practice everyday with a positive attitude and LOTS of energy. As the season progressed, players mastered so many skills and we were able to spend time working on strategies and plays for upcoming games!

At the end of the season, the team had multiple wins, and goals were scored by a number of players on the team!
