Message from the Principal’s Office
MJ,
Hopefully, the weather for Field Day (5/29) mirrors this week’s Walk to School Day, what a treat!
As we round the bend into May and see the last day of school firmly through the windshield (6/22 at 12:10), I wanted to highlight MJ’s upcoming celebration of Pride Month. MJ, along with other
Westwood elementary schools, will be doing a read aloud in their Library class centered around the Pride Flag. Students will then be working together to create an art installation along our fence.
In Library, students in the Kindergarten to 2nd Grade will have the book, Rainbow: A First Book of Pride, read to them. In the 3rd to 5th grade, the book Sewing the Rainbow, will be read to them. After reading, the students will go outside and decorate the fence.
Please see this letter from the PTO about how you can volunteer to help.

Can you tell spring is in the air? Teacher Appreciation Week means we are almost at the end of the school year. Thanks to our great committee, our MJ teachers were treated to breakfast, lunch, a specialty coffee cart, treat bag and even room service today! We had a great inaugural Martha Jones at Fenway Park last weekend. Definitely the start of a new tradition! As we wrap up the year we also wanted to take a minute to thank the outgoing PTO board members. Abbe, Priya, Lauren and Ally, Martha Jones is a better place because of your dedication. We thank you for all the hard work over the last years.
Lastly, save the dates, we still have a couple more opportunities to Dine Out and make some money for MJ. Also, be on the lookout for more details about Field Day.
Powering through May with you,
Your PTO

CORPORATE MATCH
It’s almost the end of the year but there’s still time to help fundraise. Every donation, no matter the amount, is appreciated and important in helping us continue to fund enrichment and community activities. As a reminder, we also have a Corporate Match option. Many employers offer matching donations because MJS PTO is a qualified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Donate based on what feels comfortable for your family and your financial situation. Every amount, big or small, is greatly appreciated.
