Friends of Sheffield is once again partnering with Fogbuster Coffee Works, formerly Pierce Bros. Coffee, in Greenfield, for an online fundraiser starting next week - Friday, October 8th and running through Friday, October 22. Be on the lookout for more information and for a link to the fundraiser website where you will find a variety of items available for purchase including a special SHEFFIELD PRIDE blend of coffee, various flavored coffees, K-cups and chocolate covered espresso beans. 30% of all proceeds from this sale will go directly towards funding some of our Sheffield traditions including our annual pumpkins, t-shirts for all students and teacher appreciation activities. Don't forget to like and follow our Facebook page: Friends of Sheffield.

Wednesday, October 6th is a half day of school with a noon dismissal.  Also, there is a free flu clinic from 3:30- 5:00.  Please bring the completed Flu form, a copy of your prescription card through your insurance, and wear a t-shirt.  Face masks are required. Questions, contact Nurse Sue 863-7441.

Thursday morning all students will participate in our annual bus evacuation drill.  The drill consists of students being shown and practicing how to exit the bus from all doors- front and rear.

The paraprofessionals who oversee recess planned games that could be taught if a structured recess was required.  A structured recess is when a classroom works with a para to play a game; learning the rules, reviewing good sportsmanship and what that looks like and sounds like as well as time practicing the game.  We will do this when safety concerns- either verbal or physical are reported repeatedly by students to the adults outside.

The play structure is still off limits due to safety, but our maintenance staff have begun making the repairs, so it should be open soon.  

Looking ahead, remember there is no school on October 11 in observance of Columbus Day.
