Hello Leverett Families -
It's time to play! From 7:15 - 7:45 each morning, as students are dropped off, we will have supervision on the playground. Please ensure that your student has appropriate attire. In case of inclement weather, students will be inside for supervision.
As always, students will continue to be dropped off at the car rider line from 7:15 - 7:55. Students can be dropped off at the office after 7:55.
Breakfast is at 7:45. Thank you!

WE WANT YOUR RECYCLABLES!
Hello Leverett Parents! In art class, we will soon be creating a coral reef out of recyclables for Earth Day, to bring attention to the problem of pollution in our oceans. We are going to need lots of recyclables to build our coral reef: bottles, plastic packaging, cardboard, tagboard (like cereal boxes). If you have anything you think our kids could use to make a coral reef, feel free to send it to school with your child, and have them drop it off in the art studio. Thanks so much for your help!

Mrs. Betty enjoys building relationships with students, finding out what they are most interested in, and then figuring out how to serve them best. She loves discovering students' talents because everyone has a gift, they just have to find it. Mrs. Betty also has a passion for gardening! She works tirelessly in the Butterfield school garden with students growing many types of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and plants! Thank you, Mrs. Betty!
