On Wednesday, we will have the December Dash Walk & Roll to School Day. Students are encouraged to walk or roll to school. Thanks to Mr. Guzzi for planning this event for our school!<\/p>\n

Staffing Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am pleased to welcome Ms. Bridget Fleming as a new special education teacher\/BCBA in our Skills program who will be supporting some of our K-1 students. Ms. Fleming is a Wellesley native who most recently served as a special education teacher in the Burlington Public Schools.  She earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in special education from Simmons University and is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) as well.  Please join me in welcoming Ms. Fleming to Hardy!<\/p>\n

Grab & Go Breakfast for Students<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beginning on Tuesday, January 7, Wellesley Public Schools will offer boxed breakfast options daily to all students starting at 8:15 a.m.<\/p>\n

Breakfast options are free and students do not need to sign up ahead of time. Each day will include one main breakfast item and one gluten-free option. Please see the January breakfast menu<\/a> (it reads Bates, but it\u2019s the same menu for all schools) from Whitsons (it can also be found on the Whitsons Meal Planner site<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Students should pick up their breakfasts in the cafeteria at arrival (between 8:15- 8:30 AM) and then they will bring the breakfasts to their classrooms to eat.<\/p>\n

Reminder for Parents\/Guardians of Students Performing in the Holiday Concert<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Friday at 8:45 AM we will have our annual holiday concert. This will be by our 5th grade chorus and our instrumental music students. Parents\/guardians of student performers are invited to attend, so mark your calendars.<\/p>\n

Have a great week and a great upcoming winter vacation!<\/p>\n

Respectfully yours,<\/p>\n
