Update from Mrs. Hilliard, School Nurse

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to our Boutwell families for following and complying with our established COVID protocols and the student attendance policy. If you would like to submit your child’s proof of COVID vaccination to Mrs. Hilliard, please email it to her directly. This is not a requirement, however, having this information will be helpful when we have to conduct contact tracing. We encourage our families to continue to have constant communication with our school nurse regarding any health questions or concerns. She can be contacted at 978-694-6026 or by email at [email protected].

 

Winter Clothing

As the temperatures continue to become colder, please have your child wear a warm winter jacket, hat, mittens, or gloves. We bring students outside as much as possible and we want to make sure they are dressed for the weather. We kindly ask that you please label your child’s clothing as well! It helps us tremendously when trying to locate someone’s favorite lost mitten!

 

December Community Project – Kindness Cards & Holiday Wishes

This month students will be creating kindness cards and holiday wishes for our first responders. This special delivery will be brought to the safety building in time for the holidays to help spread some cheer to those who continue to keep our community safe!

 

Thank You

For our November community project, our students donated food to the Wilmington Food Pantry. All goods were delivered and will be available to families in need for the holidays. A special thanks to everyone for their participation!

 

Wilmington Educational Foundation (WEF) Clothing Bin

If you have gently used clothing, shoes, stuffed animals, etc. you would like to donate, place them in the WEF clothing bin located at the front driveway of our school. For every ton, the WEF will receive $100 that will support educational opportunities for all our students.
