Heath Brook Fun Run

New this year, online donations! Now it’s easier for friends and family who live far away and want to support your child. Go to http://heathbrooktrahanpac.webs.com and select the ‘Donate’ button. Complete the payment process then enter the name of the child you are sponsoring along with their teacher’s name in the special instructions box. The student is still required to turn in their Sponsorship Pledge Sheet to receive prizes.

A copy of the pledge sheet can be found here.

Heath Brook Field Day

Plans are underway for this event and we need you to help!

This year we would like to offer 10 – 12 stations, offering new and different events as well as creative activities.  We are reaching out to you, our school community to help with this!

We are asking for families or individuals to “sponsor” a station or activity for field day.

What this could look like:

  • offering something tried and true such as a few corn hole boards and bags for one station
  • setting up something creative, such as a flamingo patch.  Using 5 yard flamingos and using rings to try to loop the rings onto the flamingo
  • facilitating something more complicated like designing an obstacle course that could be fun and somewhat challenging for our 4-8-year-old kids

YOU design the event and outline the goal of the activity.  It may just be to have fun, win, or complete the activity.  You tell us!

You may stay for the day and run your event or drop off the event for other volunteers to run.  You may also contribute by sponsoring an event by purchasing supplies.

Your event could be on loan to the school or a donation for future use.

Please sign up here with your ideas!

When you sign up, please indicate in the comments section what event/activity you would like to host (ie ring toss, golf ball on spoon race, etc.)  Those interested in volunteering that day but not planning an event, another sign up will be coming out once we have confirmed the schedule for the day.

Date has been confirmed for Thursday June 8th  (rain date Monday the 12th).

Penny Wars Winners: PreK & K Classes!

This Year, Penny Wars was won by the PreK & K classes. They will be enjoying an extra recess and popsicles to celebrate their win. In the hopes of warmer days coming, the PAC is getting ready to reward the classes. If you have a student in either of these grades, please look for this permission slip going home.

Heath Brook Science Kit Donations

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Last year, we purchased science kits, one for each class, with the hope of duplicating them to have enough for every classroom. These kits cover subjects like designing mixtures, shoreline science, finding the moon, plants and animals, sound and light, weather and sky and animals. They provide fun, interactive lessons for the children about science.

But we need your help!

In order to enhance students’ learning with enriching, hands-on science experiments, there are some much needed consumables! These are common, everyday items that can be found in many supermarkets, drug stores, hardware stores, or even Amazon.com. Please take a look at the lists and if there’s anything you’d like to donate, we’d be most appreciative!  If you donate items, kindly label the items with the Grade Level and kit they belong to (the 2 letter kit code is listed next to the grade level).

If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at fwettstone@tewksbury.k12.ma.us or Heath Brook Head Teacher Carole Gallo at cgallo@tewksbury.k12.ma.us.

Thank you for your continued support!
