6.09.19 Principal Notes

Dear McKelvie Families~

I truly can't believe the 18/19 school year has come to an end! I hope you all have a wonderful summer. Report cards will be available on line tomorrow.  Please remember that tomorrow is a 2 hour early dismissal.  School ends at 1:15pm and there is no after school program.

Ice Cream Sandwich Give Away: 
We have 850 ice cream sandwiches that were donated to the school last week. We are giving one to every student tomorrow.  If your child has an allergy, there will be a popsicle alternative.

Chorus News:
New this year!! Chorus registrations are now open. To sign up for the 2019/20 McKelvie Chorus, please click here. Chorus meets every Thursday at 8:00am in the music room. We have 2 concerts every year; one in December and one in May.

The 2019/20 concert dates are Dec 13th and May 8th. 

Library News:
On Monday, June 1st the 9th and final "Search Slip" winner of the year was announced. Congratulations to 6th grader Wesley in Mrs. Allen's homeroom. His "Search Slip" was selected from all of the May entries. Click HERE to see Wesley and his prize.

Thank you to all of the McKelvie Summer Book Swap participants! There were numerous students that donated books to the swap and as a result were able to choose 1-2 books. These students are able to get a jump start on summer reading and added books to their summer reading stack! Thank you for all of your support with this 2nd annual event.

Click HERE to link to the McKelvie Library Google Sites portion focusing on summer reading. Information regarding reading opportunities, incentives, and leadership roles can be found via the link above. I would love to see rising 5th through 7th graders during the summer on July 1st, July 16th, and August 13th from 12:00-2:00 at the McKelvie Library. Please be sure to take a look. Remember summer reading is reading for FUN. Enjoy!

I wish you all a safe and happy summer filled with great reads! ~Mrs. Cote
BOX TOP News:
WE DID IT MCKELVIE STUDENTS AND STAFF!!! With everybody’s help we collected a total of 10,271 box tops which is the most our school has ever collected in one school year. I am so proud of everyone who helped meet our goal of 10,000 clipped box tops. With that being said, the box top program is changing. They are going DIGITAL. They will still accept the traditional clipped box tops up to its expiration date so keep clipping over the summer. HERE is a letter from the Box Tops 4 Education Program that helps to explain the new changes. I hope to have all of the details before we go back to school so more information to follow.

RAL Parent Volunteers Needed:
Dear Grade 6 Families, the Bedford PTG is looking for a few great volunteers to fill the following positions for the next school year at Lurgio Middle School: 2 Volunteer Coordinators and PTG Support Coordinator. The current folks who fill these positions will be moving on next year and we would love to have some incoming 7th grade parents join the ranks. If you are interested or would like more information on any of these opportunities, please email Sue Jennato or Amy Dion at BedfordNHPTG@gmail.com or Mandy Underwood at amandaund@gmail.com.

PTG News:
