It’s not the years in your life that count; it’s the life in your years--Abraham Lincoln
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.--Leo Aikman

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. Never stop challenging yourself.

DEAR QUASHNET SCHOOL COMMUNITY,
“We are not counting the days; we are making each day count.” It is so important to continue to be focused on learning as we wind down this school year. Every day is valuable, and best effort and excellence must be the norm—academically and behaviorally.
Thank you to our third grade teachers and our third graders for providing a welcoming experience to KCC second graders during their shadow visits last week. We hope that the second graders have gained some knowledge that will help them transition to the Quashnet School community. Thank you also to the following staff members who attended our Step-Up Night event for second graders and their families last Thursday night: KCC Nurse Stacy, Mrs. Watka, Mrs. Arsenault, Mrs. Colantuono, Mrs. Schreiner, Ms. Higgins, Mrs. Sorbo, Mrs. McCue, SRO Will Cuozzo, and Mr. Rumberger who will be joining our school next year as Assistant Principal. Thank you also to parents Allyson and Mark Brainson for their help setting up and welcoming guests. Thank you to our PTO for providing refreshments and to PTO President Colleen Austin and her daughter Erica for welcoming our guests. A special "thank you" to our third grade ambassadors who did an outstanding job sharing their knowledge and experiences as third graders: Aiden Cuozzo, Pukar Sitaula, Mateo Vasquez, Sarah Landry, Kasey Boettger, Mireya Strom, and Maya Brainson. Superintendent Hyde's presence and support at this event is greatly appreciated.

On Monday we celebrate Memorial Day.
Memorial Day, originally called
Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who served our nation and
have died. I encourage everyone to visit
the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne tomorrow and Monday. American flags placed at the entry way as
well as at every single gravesite is a site to behold. We must always show our respect and gratitude
to those who are no longer with us (and their families) whose service to our
country helped to protect our freedoms.
Thank you to Amy Rullo for taking the lead in our Buy One/Get One Free Scholastic Book Fair. This event was not a fundraiser--just a great opportunity for our students to be able to get extra books to either read now or over the upcoming summer break. Thank you also to parent helpers Tina Theodore, Colleen Austin, Renee Geiszler.
This is the final pledge collection week for our upcoming TRIATHLON. Current standings: First Place--Grade 3; Second Place--Grade 6; Third Place--Grade 5; Fourth Place--Grade 4
We are greatly looking forward to this Friday's CAREER DAY. This is a wonderful learning event for our students and a great sharing experience for our guests. Thank you to Mrs. Cheryl MacIntire for planning all aspects of this event.
Pictured above are sixth graders Mary Hachey and Dana Richmond--members of our Student Council--who are helping us take care of our school by weeding one of our courtyards during their recess.
