Dear Carlisle Families,

I hope your start to the new year went well.  I am pleased and surprised by the fact that we made it through the month of January without a single snow day.  I want to thank our facilities team for their efforts these last two weeks on snow removal and campus preparation, as well as the town DPW for their efforts both around the town and around the school.  We are fortunate to have dedicated folks who work hard to ensure we have a safe and accessible campus.  We appreciate all their efforts greatly.  And of course the students are thrilled not to have missed any school.

We kicked off February with students from the 7th and 8th grade band and choir auditioning for the Junior District Music Festival on February 1st at Bedford High School for the auditions.  Congratulations to all our musicians.     

This month brings the highly anticipated CPS Multicultural Festival.  The Festival will be held on February 12th, an early release day.  During the school day students will have the opportunity to attend the fair which will include cultural exhibits, a scavenger hunt, and crafts/activities. There will also be an after school potluck lunch for families from 12:30-2:30 PM in the Corey Dining Room with delicious food and activities. For more information or to sign up for a presentation and/or the potluck lunch click here.

The Community Book Club continues to meet and discuss The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. Join the discussion on the impact of smartphones and social media on child and teen mental health.  The next session is planned for Wednesday, February 12th. For more information visit the PTO website click here.  

Mark your calendars for the Annual WBYC Speaker Series to be held on Monday, February 10th at 7:00 PM at CCHS.  Nick and Susie Shaw welcome Lainie and Liz to share inspirational stories and their personal journeys through special education.  For more information and to register click here.  

As a reminder, Wednesday, February 12th is an early release day for faculty and staff professional development and February break starts on Monday, February 17th with school being closed the entire week.  We will welcome students back to school on Monday, February 24th.

Have a fabulous February.

Warm Regards,

Jim O’Shea
