Lowell School Newsletter
International Night is this Friday!
International Night will be held on January 26th, 6-8pm.
This is an extremely popular event with children, parents and teachers. Join Lowell families in a trip around the world, as we celebrate diversity and culture through various displays, food, and music, from around the world.
In the gym we have numerous Lowell families decorate a table with items that represent their heritage. Students are given a passport and get a stamp at each table they visit and listen to the families' amazing stories.
Last year we had 20 countries represented, and hoping to have a good turnout this year as well. If you would like to participate, please email Sonia Smith at spchini222@gmail.com or sign up here.
In addition we host a potluck dinner in the cafe. We ask any attendee to bring in a dish that represents their heritage. You don't have to have a table to bring in a dish. The amount of food we receive is staggering and it's a fantastic way for kids and adults to try some new foods.
Mrs. Lochiatto’s 4th graders made flowers for the Watertown Unity Breakfast on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Attached is a photo. Everyone loved the flowers but especially that they were made by our students. There were over 400 people attending, including the superintendent.
The language of the week this week will be Russian
The way to say good morning in Russian is
"dobroye utro"
Here is a link to the pronunciation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbpsVlELdrA

PTO Fund Requests
Our PTO is an intricate part of our school community. This year the PTO has funded many teacher grants aimed at improving student outcomes and enhancing classroom experiences. The PTO wishes to continue their commitment to (YOU) our teachers.
All teachers are welcome to submit a proposal to be funded by the PTO. Please submit your funding requests by February 6th to be considered at our February 13th meeting. Teachers are encourage to attend the PTO meeting and present their request in person.
Auction Items Donated by Teachers
Calling on teachers...the PTO is looking for teachers to submit auction items. Students love having special time with their teachers. There’s nothing more memorable than having a special lunch with your favorite teacher. Maybe a slice of pizza with your teacher and a few close friends.
The PTO is looking for teachers to donate a small lunchtime experience or any other idea, you can come up with, that families would purchase to support our PTO. All while making a child’s year unforgettable.
