Food Play May, 7 2008 We've been invited to South School on May 7th to see a nutrition and health theater show called Food Play. The show is designed to help improve the eating and exercise habits of school children. It's a fun show featuring juggling, music, magic and audience participation! Be sure to arrive to school on time as students will depart promptly at 8:45 a.m. and will return to school by 10:30 a.m. Unfortunately, due to the limited number of seating at South School, parents and siblings are unable to attend this event. Thank you for your understanding. Please return permission slips by Monday, May 5th.  Thanks!

Tuesday, May 13th at 9:30 a.m.  In the Rockland District High School Auditorium Mr. Walton and MacDougal students are proud to star in their spring music concert! The concert will last 40 minutes and will be great fun!  Don't miss it! Students will take a bus to/from the high school.  I strongly encourage parents/guests to either park at MacDougal and walk with us or arrive at the high school early enough to park in the back parking lot. There are "NO PARKING" signs posted along the high school's entrance. Parking tickets were issued last year for families who parked along the front entrance to the high school.

Marine Resources Aquarium First Grade Field Trip Thursday, June 12th Bus 1, containing two classes, departs at 8:45 Bus 2, containing two classes, departs at 9:45

We will leave MacDougal at 8:45 and 9:45 and return around 1:45. We will tour the aquarium and have a lobster presentation. We will be eating lunch at the aquarium before we return home. Children should dress for the weather since we will be outside. All children must have sunscreen and insect repellent applied at home. Please do not send it in their backpacks! We need parent chaperones to guide groups through the aquarium and to supervise lunch. The aquarium has asked that younger siblings do not accompany us on the trip. Children and adults will need a lunch, snacks, and drinks. Please do not pack glass bottles. It is a good idea to send a bottle of water as well. School bag lunches are available for students only. All adults will need to bring lunches from home. We will arrive back at school around 1:45. Parents are welcome to take children home immediately following our return, since they are usually extremely tired. Please fill out all permission notes and return them to your child's teacher as soon as possible. We look forward to a fun day!

Chewonki Foundation We are excited to announce that the Chewonki Foundation is visiting MacDougal School again!  Chewonki brings live animal presentations into our classrooms.  As you can imagine, students are looking forward to their visit! More About This Program
