From the Principal

Many thanks to Ms. Gagnon who with her grades 3-5 chorus put on a wonderful performance Monday night (6/8) in front of a packed gym. The next day, the same group did the same performance for the students and staff. On Tuesday night (6/9), Mrs. Kenison and her fifth grade band also put on a wonderful performance in an equally packed gym. We are truly blessed with an exceptional music program.

Mrs. Gerrish along with Mr. Libby had a family math day in the F/M library. The children sat across from their parents and talked them through math problems, showing them how to solve the problems using everyday math. It was an exciting hour of our students sharing their learning with their parents. EL would call this authentic learning.

Fifth grade teachers Mrs. Lynch, Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Paquette have worked hard with their students for the last six weeks researching an American history character to be ready to present their “Living History” projects. They have made ABC books about their chosen character as well as a mobile. They will dress up as their character for next Tuesday’s performances, 10:30-11:15 AM and 12:45-1:30 PM. When the “museum” is open, they will be dressed in character and answer questions as that character. This has been a lot of very rewarding work for the teachers and the students.

Mrs. Granger is prepping her students for a musical that will be performed for the entire student body on June 19th.

And thank you to Mrs. Granger, Mrs. Paquette, Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Ewing (all who are retiring) for many years of dedicated service to the Bath Schools.

This has been a wonderful year with lots of good things taking place. We thank you for your continued support.
