Ways to Help Sandy Hook Elementary School

September 1, 2012

Dear Middlebrook School Families and Visitors,

I am thrilled to lead Middlebrook Elementary School into an exciting year of learning. Although it is my first year as the Principal, I have been an active member of this incredible school community for 17 years, as a Math Specialist and teacher. Middlebrook is a very special school where our community is much like a family. We encourage our students to treat each other in a kind and caring manner, which provides a safe, positive environment to learn and grow. The Middlebrook staff is committed to developing your child to their greatest potential through quality educational opportunities. It is our goal to educate your child's mind and heart, as motivating a child to excel requires both.

A strong home-school partnership nurtures and supports the goals of student achievement and respectful citizenship in our community. An elementary age child loves nothing more than seeing teachers and parents working together at their school. Please take advantage of opportunities to support your child in the Middlebrook learning community. When problems or concerns arise, direct communication is important. Know that my door is open to conversations, questions, and suggestions or attend a Coffee and Chat with the Principal held periodically during the year to stay connected. I look forward to a rewarding year where we can celebrate your child's growth together.

Sincerely,

Patricia Frillici
Principal of Middlebrook Elementary School.

June 23 - SAVE THE DATE Second Annual Town-wide Father's Club Softball Tournament On June 23rd, the Jane Ryan Father's Club will be hosting the second annual Town-wide Father's Club Softball Tournament. The games are scheduled to start at 1:00 pm. This event was well attended in it's inaugural year. This year, I would love to see that we have more representation as I know that we will all have a great time. Sounds like there are only a few teams so far (from other schools) so let's see if we can field 10-12 for this one. Further, if anyone has WOODEN softball bats or other related equipment, you are encouraged to bring them as equipment is not provided. There will be food and drinks provided after the event and there may be a small charge for participation. I will be sending out more information related to the time of the games, etc as I get it, but wanted to send this out as a SAVE THE DATE. Please let me know if you are able to attend by emailing me at david.galla@peoples.com Thanks, Hope to see you all there. dg
