A Very Spirited School This Week This was a fine week for
Hats, Pajamas, Wacky Hair, Twins, Teams and Bracelets. There
was a theme for every day and many, many of our students participated in these events. The National Honor Society pitched in
by selling hand-woven bracelets to raise funds for charity. All in
all, this was a very good week to swing into spring.
.
Author Ralph Fletcher to visit. Noted children’s author and
New Hampshire resident Ralphy Fletcher will be at EES on May
24th to speak and demonstrate the craft of writing. His audience
will be both students and teachers with talks to students during
the school day and a teacher’s workshop after school. Fletcher is
the author of Moving Day, Twilight Comes Twice, Hello Harvest
Moon and Spider Boy. The school will host a pot luck luncheon
for the author who will be signing copies of his books. Order
forms for his books will go out the week we return from vacation.
Please Have a Great Spring Vacation The time has come for a
well deserved break for students and staff. Please enjoy the
spring vacation and be back here on Monday, April 30. The office will be open Monday and Tuesday.
Administrative Assistants Week Next Week. Do you realize
how much the administrative assistants do for Epping Elementary
School? If you ever spent some time in the main office you know
that school Dervishes. To say they all are masters of multi-task is
an understatement and the EES administrative assistants multi-
task with a smile. I am ever so grateful for all that they do to keep this school running well. Thanks very
much to administrative assistants Cheryl MacLeay, Karen Mongeon and to Michelle Trinceri, special education assistant and to Luetta Petrie and Anne Marie Peck who job-share the health office assistant position.
EES & Community News
Congratulations to the cast and crew of the Library's Story Explorers! This group of Kindergarten, first and
second graders (and their big kid helpers) put on a wonderful production of Lisa Wheeler's “Ugly Pie” last Friday. Many thanks from Miss Tracie to the kids and their parents for all their hard work and support. The spring
session of Story Explorers begins May 1st .
The Spring Vacation Week Movie Series runs from April 23rd through the 27th in the children's room. Movies
including one about puppets (with an 'M'), a rabbit with drumsticks, penguins in Antarctica, an adventurous
small white dog and that boot-wearing cat will be shown in the afternoons at 1:00. Folks coming to the movie
are asked to bring a snack to share and a spill-resistant drink. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
The Thursday afternoon session of Preschool Storyhour will be canceled during vacation week. Check the
website or stop by the library for the schedule.
On Thursday, May 10th at 7 pm J. Dennis Robinson, author of “Strawberry Banke: A Seaport Museum 400
Years in the Making” delivers an interesting and informative program that will also be witty and entertaining.
Hosted by the Friends of the Library, this program is made possible by a grant from the NH Humanities Council.
Mother's Day is right around the corner and the May Pajama Night will celebrate Moms while giving Dads and
kids a chance to make a special something for the deserving lady of the house. On Friday, May 11th children
from 3 to 8 (and their grown-up chauffeurs) are invited to wear their pajamas to the library for crafts, stories
and a scavenger hunt devoted to Mom. Pajama Night begins at 6:30. Participants are asked to bring a snack to
share.
