Curley Boosterthon Fun Run Thanks

Thank you to all the families who donated to the Curley Fun Run! Also thank you to all the families who volunteered for the fun run and a special thank you to the students for running for our school!

And yes, we beat our fundraising goal so Principal Grassa got pied in the face not once, but ELEVEN times this past Wednesday. That’s a principal who loves her students!

Summer Reading 2019

We are finalizing expectations and guidelines for Curley’s summer 2019 reading program. As last year, all students will be asked to take a pledge to read daily over the summer months and to maintain a log of this reading. In addition, students entering grades 4 through 8 will be expected to read one additional book, in coordination with the BPS and Boston Public Library initiative, “Summer Reading Together”.

Packets of information, including the summer reading pledge, reading bingo activity, and logs were sent home this past week.

Curley Musical 2019-20

Ms. Taylor Knight is forming a working group that will meet during August to discuss play selection and volunteer help for the musical.  If you are interested in being part of this group, please complete this short google form. Thanks in advance.

Footwear for Students

The weather is getting warmer and students will start to wear sandals to school. We want to encourage families to have their student wear sneakers. This type of footwear is safer for recess and physical education classes as well. Thanks.

Arrival/Dismissal Parking

We are asking families to pay attention to the parking signs at arrival/dismissal and make sure that you are not blocking driveways when you come to school. The Boston Police will ticket if you are found in violation of this on the surrounding streets
