Library Corner

Welcome back to another exciting year in the Haggerty Library. Thank you for helping your child to return books to the library on time.

This is the 2017 - 2018 library schedule:
Monday: Faucher, Stewart, Karwowski, Doherty
Tuesday: Golding and Hassett
Wednesday: Kuo and Yeh
Thursday: Callender, Moloney, Lacey
Friday: Favreau, Barker, Healy

This Fall we have a student teacher from Simmons Graduate School of Library Studies, Ms. Jessie Clough.

Volunteer Opportunity
If you have some free time and would like to volunteer in the library, we always need help with shelving. A quick 15 or 20 minutes of help makes an enormous difference.

Thanks!

Sarah Novogrodsky

Welcome back! I’m excited for another year of frequent music classes for JK-2 and a new teacher for grades 3-4, Kilian Mooney. Fifth grade will begin instrumental lessons with the esteemed traveling trio, Richey Tally (strings), John Frazee (brass) and new woodwinds teacher, Tony Babecka. Welcome, Mr. Babecka!

Welcome to Kilian Mooney (photo on page 1), our new 3rd and 4th grade music teacher at Haggerty! Kilian teaches in the back area of the multipurpose room on Mondays. He also teaches at Cambridgeport three days a week and one day at Tobin. Kilian is trained as a singer and a music teacher, coming to us from St. Peters. Welcome, Mr. Mooney!

Haggerty Chorus begins on Tuesday, September 26 at 7:30AM. All interested students in grades 3-5 have received a permission slip. Feel free to come by or email Ms. Irvin-Kent for another copy. Permission slips are due back by Friday, September 22.

Coaches Corner

Congratulations to all Summer Learning Participants!
This Summer over 30 Haggerty students participated in our Haggerty Summer Learning Challenge. Students in grades 1-5 recorded their summer learning in a variety of ways: reading logs, notebook entries, summer course certificates, drawings, worksheets, pictures, etc.   

On Monday, September 11th, participants selected from a variety of school supply prizes to kick off the school year. We want to thank all of the teachers who donated prizes for the students, the kids were so excited to select their prizes.
We know that most Haggerty students took time this summer to learn and read; next year we hope that you will join the fun and participate in our school wide learning challenge.
Thank you to all of the students and their families who participated in our Learning Challenge this summer. Way to avoid the Summer Slide!

Thank you,

Ms. Novo, Mrs. Pearlmutter and Mrs. Russell
