Hello Families,

We have selected a date for the 8th-grade promotion - June 16 at 5:00.  The ceremony will be on the campus of the current Consentino School.  The ceremony will be followed by a dinner and dance for 8th-grade students who attend Consentino only.

Consentino Middle School is happy to announce that we will be hosting our second annual Multicultural Night this May 21st from 5:oopm-7:00pm. This will be a wonderful celebration of the beautiful cultures our school community can commemorate through art, music, poetry, dance, food, and so much more!

In order to make this event a success, we are asking our school community to get involved. We are looking for parent, student, and staff volunteers to show our students how to dance, make a delicious dish, share music, poetry, art, and whatever else you are willing to share with our school community! We have a volunteer form to sign up to bring food for a potluck-style meal like we did last year, as well as ask for volunteers to run different activities such as teaching our students different dance styles (merengue, bachata, etc). We look forward to celebrating with all of you and ask that you please fill out this volunteer Google form to let us know how you would like to contribute to Multicultural Night: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSel9k0OE7PEJZrDYAfSXgxqIdG5xbQSBWTRHmCYWYNzsT1ECQ/viewform

Grade 8 (Ms. Fouhey)

1. Civics Action Projects are in progress in Grade 8! Students are identifying issues that matter to them, making a claim, researching, and will be creating plans of action. They are looking forward to presenting their projects this Spring!

2. There are only 10 Days until the Boston Marathon! My bib# is 31445 if anyone wants to track me on the BAA app (to make sure I finish upright lol). I know everyone wants nice warm weather, but I am praying for 50 degrees and cloudy on Marathon Monday!

YearBook

Yearbook order forms are currently located outside room 23 for any 8th-grade student interested in ordering a yearbook. The cost of each yearbook will be $13, which includes shipping. If the cost is an issue, please speak to Ms. Shea directly during homeroom or through email. Yearbook order forms need to be filled out and returned with payment by April 30th. All checks can be made out to Consentino Middle School.

We often do a Guess Who for the last few pages of the yearbook. If interested, please email baby photos directly to Ms. Shea at samantha.shea@haverhill-ps.org. Please make sure when sending the photo, you include the student's first and last name! Baby Photos are due by April 30th.

Finally, any 8th grade student who is interested may submit a submission for the cover of the yearbook. Students' covers need to be designed on a blank white piece of 8.5in x 11in paper.  If a student would like, they may either hand-draw/color a cover submission, or they can design it online and email it to Ms. Shea as a PDF. All cover submissions for the front or back cover are due by April 30th.

For any other questions, please email Ms. Shea at samantha.shea@haverhill-ps.org.
