Good morning Charger Nation!
Happy frigid Saturday!
I hope you all had a great vacation! This week it looks like we’re going to have a bit of a “heat wave” which will be nice with our return back to school.
This Wednesday from 5-6:30 pm in our library is our Family Game Night. This is a FREE event and will give families a chance to have some fun while also learning about our various curriculum platforms. Big shoutout to Mrs. Bonanno and Ms. Vallee for spearheading this effort. Please come by!
On Friday from 5:30-8:30 pm, the YMCA, HPS, and Community Action will be hosting a Community Resource Night at the Haverhill YMCA campus. This is a FREE event and will have a bunch of fun activities for kids including a bouncy house, swimming, crafts, and more! Great activity for a chilly Friday night!
We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday morning. Have a great weekend!

8th Grade Yearbook:
Cover Art: Cover Art submissions are being accepted from now until April 17th! Covers can be designed on a blank white piece of 8.5 x 11 paper if students would like to hand-draw/color a cover submission, or they can be designed online and sent to Ms. Shea by email as a PDF. All cover submissions for the front or back cover are due by April 17th. If students would like to see samples from previous years, they can stop by room 32.
Orders: Order forms for yearbooks were sent out before the February break. Yearbooks will now be $11 each, which includes shipping. If the cost is an issue, please speak to Ms. Shea in room 32 directly. Yearbook order forms need to be filled out and returned with payment by April 17th.
The PTO has generously offered to help to pay for yearbooks by giving $5 for each yearbook, bringing the cost per book from $16 to $11. If your student has already paid and would like their $5 refund, please have them see Ms. Shea in room 32. If not, we will put the extra money towards the staff books and any students who cannot afford one.
Baby Photos: We often do a Guess Who for the last few pages of the yearbook. Baby photos can be brought as a physical photo to Ms. Shea in Room 32 or a digital version can be emailed directly to Ms. Shea at samantha.shea@haverhill-ps.org. Baby Photos are due by April 17th.
For any other questions, please email Ms. Shea at samantha.shea@haverhill-ps.org
Clothing Collection:
We are 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 are able to assist please reach out to Mrs. Cabrera at jenniffer.cabreravicente@haverhill-ps.org or by calling our main number.
8th Grade Families:
8th grade families are invited to join the Remind group for the Washington, DC trip. This is how we’ll communicate for meetings, fundraising, etc. Once we’re on the trip we’ll also share pictures and updates. To join https://remind.com/join/abcindc25.
