A Reflection From the Principal's Desk
As we approach the end of the school year, I would like to thank everyone for their continued support. It’s hard to believe we have less than 40 school days left until the 2023-2024 school year is over. I would like to thank all the families that came out to support our 181 Poetry Jam. I am tremendously proud of our talented 181 students and dedicated staff for making the Poetry Jam an amazing evening for all.
On May 7th and 8th, our Grade 6 and Grade 7 students will be participating in the NYS Math exam. During the week that your child is testing, make certain that your son/daughter rests properly each night, arrives for school on time. Students are expected to report to school on time as testing begins at 8:15 a.m. each day.
We have great events taking place throughout the month of May. Middle School 181 students will be participating in the Soap Box Derby on May 4th, where they will showcase their STEM skills. Please join us to root for the 181 team! Our annual STEM night will take place on May 15th at 5:30 p.m. followed by our monthly Parents’ Association meeting held at 6:30 p.m. Grade 6 students will be visiting the Maritime Aquarium on May 14th and Grade 7 students will be visiting Philadelphia on May 23rd. On May 30th, please join us at 5:30 p.m. for 181’s Multi-Cultural Event. This will be an evening filled with a variety of cultural experiences and activities.
The week of May 13th - May 17th is Mental Health Awareness week. During this week, we will raise awareness to those living with mental and behavioral health issues by asking our students to participate in different themed days.
· Monday May 13th is Keep Moving Day. On this day, students will wear workout or sportswear, as a reminder that exercise helps to keep us well, physically and mentally.
· Tuesday, May 14th is Tie-Dye Day. On this day, students will wear Tie-Dye or Bright Colors to represent the wide array of emotions with the message that it's okay to talk about our emotions.
· Wednesday May 15th is Kindness Day. On this day, students will wear a T-shirt with a positive message or quote.
· Thursday May 16th is Green Day. On this day, students will wear the color green to support mental health awareness.
· Friday May 17th is Casals Family Day. On this day, students will join the family and wear school swag to represent that they are an integral part of our “Casals Family”.
Lastly, I want to wish our Pablo Casals Middle School 181 families a wonderful Mother’s Day and Memorial Day holiday.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Kirrane
