Hello Doolittle Families,

Happy American Education Week!

Our American Education Week has been very busy. Parent visits throughout the week seemed to go very well. These visits are a great opportunity for parents to get a peek inside their child’s classroom and get a sense of how the classroom runs as well as see some of the expectations and routines that teachers have. Also these visits serve as another opportunity to support communication between families and school.

The PTA ice cream social on Tuesday was a lot of fun. Many families turned out, despite the rain. Students seemed to have a great time eating ice cream and shopping at the Book Fair.

Speaking of the Book Fair, EVERYONE at Doolittle School is grateful to the PTA and all the volunteers who worked during the week to provide this awesome experience for our children. The book fair always motivates students to read and gets books in their hands!

On Wednesday night, Mr. Solan hosted the Superintendent’s Awards Dinner. Students are nominated for the Superintendent’s award based on their service to others, community service and positive leadership. Each year Doolittle School nominates one Fifth Grader and one Fourth Grader to receive the award. It was great to see that in addition to our two nominees at least four students from Dodd and Cheshire High School were Doolittle Alumni.

Last night, Thursday 11/17, at the Board of Education Meeting, Doolittle’s own Kristina Veilleux received the School Partnership award for all she does for our school as a PTA member, Instructional Assistant and, most importantly, Mom.

Also last night Mr. Shawn Parkhurst was appointed as our new Assistant Superintendent.
