Teacher Appreciation Week: Thank You!

Thank you so much to the PTO for the incredible Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you to Kaitlin Vernon and Margaret Donahue for organizing the wonderful collection of meals and treats throughout the week. Thank you to Deerfield families for the creative and generous raffle items. The Deerfield faculty and staff felt very appreciated (and full!) all week long. Thank you so much for your generosity and support.

 

 

 

Reminder: Grade 5 Fundraiser: Car Wash on Saturday, May 20th

Deerfield grade 5 students will be holding a car wash behind the Westwood Fire Station from 9:00am - 1:00pm on Saturday, May 20th. All money raised will go to the annual Deerfield Scholarship Fund.

 

 

Early Release Day on Wednesday, May 24th

Next Wednesday, May 24th will be an early-release day for students. Students will be dismissed at 11:50am and we will not have lunch or afternoon recess during the school day. Students are able to get lunch from school on early-release Wednesdays. They may stop by the cafeteria at dismissal and get a lunch to take home. If students are going to Extended Day, then they will have lunch at the Hanlon School when they arrive and do not need to get a lunch from the Deerfield cafeteria.
