Dear Quashnet School Community,

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK: MAY 4 – MAY 8

We would like to acknowledge, celebrate, and thank the intelligent, caring, dedicated, and hard-working members of the Quashnet School staff who spend their days helping Mashpee’s children develop the skills and knowledge required to grow into contributing members of our society—tomorrow’s leaders. On a daily basis, we witness their well-planned lessons, positive “can-do” attitudes, outstanding effort, and passion. Our staff is not only focused on each child’s academic achievement but also on his/her social and emotional well-being. Working in the field of education is both challenging and rewarding. We thank the members of our staff for choosing to be educators.

WE APPRECIATE THEM!

National Nurse’s Day: Wednesday, MAY 6

Ms. Moses is a wonderful new member of our Quashnet School community. Adjusting to her new role has appeared seamless. Her knowledge, skills, calm and nurturing manner, and positive attitude shine through in her interactions with our students and staff. We are very grateful to her and for her.

2015 SPELLING BEE
