Yesterday morning, Mrs. Simard and Ms. Almon hosted a special breakfast for our Big and Little Eagles! Did you know that our Big Eagle peer mentoring program has grown to include over 60 students this year?!
There is magic in watching our kids sing, play an instrument or perform on stage! We want to thank you for coming together as a community to cheer on our nervous performers and celebrate the lifelong memories that these long standing traditions create!
Last week two representatives from Team Good Vibes delivered the more than 100 brand new pajamas that they collected throughout the month of November. Ingrid made a delivery to the Friends Program in Concord and Hazel delivered to the Upper Room in Derry!

This afternoon our 7th grade led a Community Meeting that was filled to the brim with JOY! After the singing and dancing, our Student Council and Sgt. Buckley presented the nearly 600 toys that our Ellis Eagles and the greater Fremont Community donated to Toys for Tots!
We want to highlight the leadership that our Student Council demonstrated throughout the Toys for Tots drive. Earlier this month, the Student Senators voted to spend $500 of their budget to purchase dozens of toys for kids in need and hosted a Winter Dance where attendees had the option of bringing a new, unwrapped toy in lieu of the cost of admission.

Yesterday's cold rain didn't hamper the sense of joy, accomplishment and confidence our Girls on the Run Team felt after completing their first 5K at their Fall Celebration!
Now that the Primary date has been set in New Hampshire, we have updated our calendar to reflect the change. January 23, 2024 will be a professional day - no student day and February 13, 2024 will now be a regular student day. The calendar is available on our website: sau83.org
We want to extend our sincere gratitude to the Children's Community Fund for their generous financial donation and the Exeter Fire Department for their donation of several warm winter coats. We are also incredibly grateful to Mrs. Schipano, Mrs. Simard and Ms. Almon for organizing, shopping and outfitting several students in all of the necessary clothing and footwear to keep warm this winter!
