Leading the Way...
|
|
 This week a small group of 4th and 5th year Students, along with Ms. Laura headed to Concord to hone their Leadership Skills as part of the 10th Annual Northeast Delta Dental Youth Leadership Summit. This event was lead by John Jay Bonstingl of Bonstingl Leaders for the Future. Jay Bonstingl is an author and consultant who has worked for decades in leadership development and education.
 Mill Falls was one of just five participating NH public schools.
The two-day Summit explored leadership
qualities and then the children worked together to come up with projects they'd like to execute here at School. Please join us in thanking Tom Raffio at Delta Dental for his ongoing support of this engaging and powerful initiative.
We are so proud of the work the students did during the Summit, and received many complements on their maturity and thoughtfulness. Laura will continue to work with the group of students over the next weeks. This morning at our all-school meeting, the students who attended the Leadership Summit shared their experience and ideas with our school community...Stay tuned for more information on the plans!

Just a reminder that we are still participating in
Hannaford Helps Schools
! Look for "Hannaford Helps" shelf tags (there are over
1,500 qualifying products
).. If you buy four items thats 3 school dollars for MFCS.
Looking for another way to help out? Have a bunch of
BoxTops sitting on your kitchen counter? Bring or send them in so we can add them to our
BoxTop Collection.

School Pictures will be handed out this upcoming week.
Picture Retake Day is scheduled for November 15th.
We will be taking the All-School Panoramic Portrait the same day. If you placed an order for the Panoramic Portrait you will receive it approximately 3 weeks from the Retake date.
Please contact
Susanne with any questions
 Please help us by taking a moment to fill out an event survey about our recent Road Race & Fun Run. While the event was joyful and fun was had by all who joined in, attendance was down significantly from last year. We've created this survey to provide you with the chance to offer your feedback so we can learn and improve our offering next year.

Interested in being the Ski Club's Co-Coordinator this year, to assist our Lead Coordinator?
We are so grateful for Jim Malone, who has stepped up as the lead Coordinator for our 2018 Ski Club!!! We are continuing our search for a co-coordinator, someone to help be a
liaison team between the MFCS Club and
McIntyre Mountain,
our Ski Club partner. The
MFCS Ski Club is available for 1st-6th year students on Tuesday's from 4-6pm. The Ski Club Coordinators are the communication point for McIntyre, help organize the kids on Club days here at school at the end of
the
school day, and coordinate with Ski Club Families to be sure there is adult presence at the Mountain each week. The MFCS Kinder class is scheduled for Tuesday's 12:30-1:30pm and that is not part of the MFCS Club.
Thinking about participating in Ski Club?
Flyers will go out this upcoming week!
