We wanted to take a moment to share some important details about the upcoming transition plan for our beloved Hunnewell second graders, who have been an absolute joy to have in the Upham building. The last week for our Hunnewell second graders at Upham will be from February 12th to February 16th. Throughout this week, we have planned some special activities to honor and celebrate their time here with us. On February 16th, we will have an All School Assembly where we will dedicate a portion of the program to recognizing and celebrating our Hunnewell second graders. This assembly will be a fantastic opportunity to highlight the achievements, contributions, and friendships they built at Upham. Following the All School Assembly, at 2:55 PM, we will gather for a heartfelt “clap out” to bid our final goodbye to the Hunnewell second graders. This will be a touching moment for our entire Upham community as we come together to show appreciation and wish them well on their journey.
We encourage parents to join us for these special events to celebrate the achievements and growth of our second graders during their time at Upham. It has been an honor and a privilege to have them in our building, and we want to make sure they leave with fond memories and the knowledge that they will always be a part of the Upham family.
If you have any questions or need further information regarding the transition plan or the events planned for that week, please contact our school office. We look forward to celebrating this important milestone with you and your children.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children’s education, and we wish the Hunnewell second graders continued success as they move on to new adventures.
One additional item. I have been chosen as a finalist for the Tucker Elementary School in Milton, MA. The announcement will be made public shortly. I will meet with the hiring team next week, and a decision should be announced in early February.
Dare to Dream,
Mr. Dees
