Have you seen our new story walk? Ms. Moran worked extremely hard to get these story walks up and running for our families this summer; you can find them outside of the elementary and intermediate playground! Thank you to the Fremont PTA for your support with this project! We love how much our community supports our learners' continued progress and love for reading!

Mrs. Normandin's class had a special Bye Bye Big Eagle breakfast this morning for one of our Big Eagles! Our Big/Little Eagle program is run by our counselors and is one of our cherished traditions. Our older students apply to mentor our young learners, and unbreakable bonds form! Thank you, Big Eagles, for your service and mentorship this year!

Yesterday, Team Good Vibes had Pioneer Day! Mr. Tyler Allen from Sanborn Mills Farms taught TGV about the purpose, power, and care of draft animals, specifically the Devon breed of oxen. Later, Mr. Matthew Thomas, president of the Fremont Historical Society, opened the Fremont Historical Museum for TGV for a special presentation of Fremont's unique history. The museum is open to all on the second Sunday of the month from 11-3, May through October. Stop by to hear interesting stories and view authentic artifacts! Thank you Mr. Allen and Mr. Thomas for a fantastic day!

Did you know? One of our school goals has been focused on adopting more restorative school practices that encourage dialogue, conflict-resolution, and relationship-building. In this effort, we have established a Restorative Practices Leadership Team. Miss. Booth is a member of this team and has spearheaded this effort by regularly leading her students in community-building circles. Want to learn more? Follow this link from Suffolk University (https://www.suffolk.edu/cas/centers-institutes/center-for-restorative-justice/what-is-restorative-justice), where we were able to train our RP Leadership Team thanks to a grant we received!

Our fifth and sixth graders went to the Fisher Cats game today! The kids got to play with robots, make some UV color changing bracelets and meet comic book authors and characters. Some of our students even had the opportunity to yell, "Play ball!" from the field!

Our 7th graders had their annual trip to the Exeter River today to test the water and release their trout! They analyzed the data of their benthic macroinvertebrate collection and calculated the water quality score. All were happy to find that the river scored a "good," a happy and safe home for our fish!
