Dear McKelvie Families~
This past week was really busy for a 4 day school week! Grade six students participated in Pi day activities on Wednesday and Thursday. Congratulations to Colin Johnson pictured HERE, receiving his honorary Pi t-shirt! Colin memorized the first 220 digits of Pi to be the official Pi master of McKelvie Intermediate School. He has far exceeded the school record! We are all super proud of him!

Destination Imagination:
Congratulations to the 4 teams who represented MIS at the DI Regional Tournament in Amherst last Saturday, The DI Dominators, Lightning Squirrels and Kabuki Kittens all advanced to the State Tournament in Nashua on March 30th. The Oversaturated Tomatoes placed 2nd. A special shout out to the Lightning Squirrels who received a special Spirit of DI Award. We would like to say good luck to The Mindblowers who presented at the Manchester Regional this weekend. Thanks to all of the volunteers who have worked with these kids since last fall, especially their Team Managers.
Spirit of DI Award: This team worked as a cohesive unit, supporting each other’s strengths and collaborating as one. The respect they showed for each other, their managers, and appraisers was reflective of young executives. Their team chants in the prep area demonstrated their cohesiveness.
