Dear Schofield Community,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Grade 5 Winter Solstice concert was sublime this morning! \u00a0Huge thanks to all of our Grade 5 students, Mr. Polletto, Ms. Messore, Mrs. Sullivan, Mr. Doyle and Mr. Moretti. \u00a0Also, many thanks to all Grade 5 parents\/guardians who came out to support their child(ren) and the entire grade! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Huge thanks to Carrie Scott Sullivan, Schofield parent, for her leadership efforts in supporting our 5th grade students that provided some holiday cheer at a reception for senior citizens who reside at the River Street Senior Housing. \u00a0From all reports, it was a wonderful experience! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
