Hello Families,

I hope this message finds you well! I am excited to share that our much-anticipated Multicultural Night is just around the corner, taking place on May 21st. This event is one of our biggest celebrations of the year and offers our school community a wonderful opportunity to come together, share diverse cultures, and foster understanding and appreciation for one another. We encourage all families to participate by showcasing their unique heritage through food, performances, displays, or any other way you feel inspired! It’s a great chance for our students to learn about the world beyond the classroom and celebrate the diversity that enriches our school. As a reminder, there will be no school on Memorial Day, so our students can enjoy the long weekend with their families. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. We look forward to seeing everyone at Multicultural Night!

Please remind your students to check their lockers and start bringing home any coats or sweaters they may have left at school. This is also a good time to clean out those backpacks!

Community School

GRWUs Donation Drive – Help Our Students Shine! 

In collaboration with Ruth's House, Consentino is proud to support our students through our GRWUs initiative, helping students prepare for their graduation and special end-of-year celebrations with confidence and pride. We are currently collecting donations of graduation and dinner attire, shoes, accessories, and beauty items to support students in need.

Donations can be dropped off at Ruth’s House (11 Lafayette Square, Haverhill, MA 01832) from May 18th to June 10th. Please label donations for: Consentino.

We are also looking for community partners and business connections! If you have connections to flower shops, beauty businesses, salons, clothing stores, boutiques, or other organizations willing to donate items or services, please reach out to us. Your support can help make this milestone memorable and meaningful for our students.

Together, we can help every student feel celebrated on their special day! 

Track and Field

Amazing job to our 7th/8th graders who competed in the City Wide Meet on Tuesday, I am so proud of each of them! A big congratulations to Jaynaliel Alvarado Nunez (Grade 8) for winning the boys 100 meter. As well as Joseph Shead (Grade 8) and Nathan Alvaraz (Grade 8) for placing in the top 8 of the boys 100 meter. Congrats on an amazing meet. Please return your jerseys directly to Ms. Shea by May 22nd. 

Multicultural Night

Just wanted to remind everyone that we will be hosting our second annual Multicultural Night this May 21st from 5:oopm-7:00 pm. 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!

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, as we did last year, as well as to 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
