March 2nd is Wacky 'Sdrawkcab' (Backwards) Wednesday

In honor of Dr. Seuss’ Birthday and inspired by his book, Wacky Wednesday, students are invited to join us for "Wacky Backwards Wednesday" on Wednesday, March 2nd when we will be dressing “WaCKy” and doing things backwards. Plan to wear your clothes backwards or inside-out and/or wear mismatched socks or shoes or strange hairdos or hats. Let your imagination go WiLd!

Spirit Week Day 5: Frenchtown Friday

Tomorrow is FRENCHTOWN FRIDAY! Here are some ways to discuss the theme with your kids:

Isn't it great to be a Frenchtown Bear? We show our spirit in a lot of ways. When we listen quietly, raise our hands, remember our manners and do our very best, we all work as a team to make Frenchtown the best school it can be. Frenchtown Bears have a lot to be proud of! 

On Friday, wear blue, white or Frenchtown apparel to show your school spirit.

Spirit Week Day 4: National Pride

Tomorrow is NATIONAL PRIDE DAY! Here are some ways to discuss the theme with your kids:

There are many reasons to be proud to be an American. We show national spirit when we salute the flag with respect each morning, show gratitude to the men and women who serve in the military and by wearing our national colors: red, white and blue. On Thursday, warred, white and blue.

Spirit Week Day 3: Everyone's a Character

Tomorrow is EVERYONE'S A CHARACTER DAY! Here are some ways to discuss the theme with your kids:

Did you know Rhode Island is the smallest state in the United States of America? We may be little, but we have a lot of state spirit. Rhode Islanders are proud of the things that make us a little different, like Del's lemonade and Duckpin bowling. We're proud to be a bunch of characters!

This week is also Reading Week so in celebration of our favorite books, Wednesday will be a day to dress up like our favorite book characters! Have fun and don't be afraid to be a little wacky.

Moms and dads: Costumes only - no props, especially swords or other toy weapons!

Spirit Week Day 2: Team Day

Great job to everyone who dressed up for COLOR DAY today! The class counters hanging in the front office are already starting to fill up.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, is TEAM DAY so students should wear a shirt for any team like the Patriots, Yankees or Celtics!  Maybe a college? Maybe East Greenwich? Or maybe wear their own team shirt from a team they’ve been on!

Here are some ways to talk about team spirit with your child:

• Who is your favorite team?  
• Have you ever gone to watch your older brother or sister play for one of the High School teams, routing for the East Greenwich Avengers?  
• It’s fun to cheer for your favorite team, but we need to remember different people like different teams.  
• We show our spirit by encouraging our favorite team, and being a good sport when another team wins.
