December 5, 2018 Dear Rowe School Families,
As we enter the busy holiday season, the pace at Rowe School continues to match stride. We
had our November Community Meeting hosted by Mrs. Elder’s and Mrs. Lemay’s kindergarten
classes on Monday, November 26th. The meeting was originally planned for the day before
Thanksgiving break but was postponed due to the snow ...
New this month is Taco Pizza! These are school-made individual mini pizzas with refried beans in place of sauce and topped with cheddar cheese. On the salad bar are all our regular taco fixings, yum! We'll also be bringing back our baked bean bento with cornbread. We're also adding a new morning snack, a whole grain soft pretzel with orange wedges.
November 1, 2018 Dear Rowe Families,
The first six weeks of school have passed swiftly by and it has been nice seeing many of you
here to volunteer, to have lunch, and to attend parent-teacher conferences. Many teachers are
still meeting with parents or will be doing so in the next week or two. It is always exciting to get
an update on your child’s progress. If y...

October 1, 2018 Dear Rowe Families,
It is hard to believe that we have already been back to school for a month. Last week, first
graders harvested the carrots they planted as kindergarteners last spring. They recorded their
observations and drew diagrams of what the plants look like while still in the ground, and then
measured how many pounds they harvested. This...

We have had a fabulous start to the year! The kindergarten children are quickly
adapting to a full day of school and separation issues have been minimal thus far. The
first graders seem like “old pros” and appear happy to be back after the long summer
break. We are looking forward to our Open House next Monday, September 17t...

Dear Rowe families,
After a long Maine winter, it is great to see all of the signs of spring around us, at last! We had a a community meeting in late April that incorporated the theme of spring. We shared some poetry in recognition of National Poetry Month. The first graders also sang a spring song from the Rowe Show to the kindergarten children.
Later ...
New in May we have egg noodles with petite peas and the optional choice of including chicken. We also have a new bento lunch the last week featuring our baked in house bread sticks served with cheddar cubes and a marinara dip cup.

We hope this message finds you ready to get back out and enjoy a bit more of winter. The children certainly embrace fresh snow on the playground. It is amazing to see the cooperation and collective creativity they utilize to build various structures with snow. At this point, we know spring can’t be too far away. Please don’t...
Come March through the ABC's at our salad bar! Each day will feature a fruit or vegetable with the corresponding letter.

Dear Rowe Families,
We have had a busy string of weeks since we returned from the holiday break. It is hard to believe it is February already! We will have a community meeting to celebrate the 100th day of school coming up next week. We currently have a guest teacher coming into classrooms to do some mindfulness work with the children. This was made ...

Dear Rowe Families,
We hope you all enjoyed a nice holiday break. Who would have thought we would need a snow day our first week back!

As always, please send your child to school with full winter gear each day. Even if it is ex...
