Consentino Weekly Update- 12/7/24

Good morning Charger Nation!

Happy chilly Saturday!

Great day yesterday celebrating our students during the PRIDE Assemblies! We’ll have Perfect Attendance and Honor Roll Certificates going out in a few days.

A huge thank you to all who helped make the PTO Movie Night a success. We had a good turnout and it seemed like everyone had a nice time.

This Monday and Tuesday we’ll be conducting our 2nd round of iReady testing. As I mentioned to our 8th graders during the assembly yesterday, this information is used as part of the data for their class placements when they move to HHS so it is really important that they show their best work.

Clothing Collection:
During our Multicultural Night we will be collecting gently used or new winter clothing donations, specifically sweaters, sweatpants, and socks, to help our students stay warm during the colder months. Your generosity will make a real difference in providing comfort and warmth to our students. If you want to drop off donations during any other day please contact me via email at jenniffer.cabreravicente@haverhill-ps.org or by calling our main number. 

Multicultural Night
One of the strengths of Consentino has always been the rich diversity of our school community. To that end, on December 12th we will host our first Multicultural Night from 5-7 pm! There will be food samplings, raffles, music, community resources, and more! So far, we have parents representing the Philippines, Haiti, and Ireland! Staff is showing up big and sharing sample foods from Mexico, Norway, Italy, Scotland, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Albania and Norway! Our students are extremely excited and are currently helping us create displays of each country! We also have some brave students who will be singing in different languages!

This is a community event and will be made possible with parent, guardian, family and staff volunteers!
