Dear Sheehan Families, 

As we enter our final week of the 2023, 2024 school year, the Sheehan Staff and I would like to wish all Sheehan families a wonderful and relaxing summer. We would also like to say THANK YOU for your continued support and partnership and for sharing your children with us each day!

Last Thursday evening, we held a very successful Cultural Festival.  It was such a beautiful evening for all of our families.  Thank you to all families who shared their customs, foods, arts, and cultures with us.

Throughout the school year, our students and staff have been fortunate to participate in so many events that have enriched their overall learning experience.  THANK YOU to ALL of our parent volunteers for your efforts, energy, and enthusiasm.

This past winter and spring, students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 participated in a before school Math League.  We had 59 students participate in a very successful and fun Math League season with lots of collaborative math problem solving.

The season ended with a District Wide Math Meet!  42 of our Sheehan students participated!!

3rd grade came in 2nd place of the 4 schools. 

4th grade came in 4th place and 5th grade came in 4th place, but both teams were very close to 3rd place, within 2 points or less!!! Congrats Sheehan Students!!!

A huge THANK YOU to Juliana Belding for coordinating a very rewarding and fun Math League season for our students. 

Thank You to our coaches!

Ned Averill and Shilpa McManus, 3rd grade

Claudia Halaby and Juliana Belding, 4th grade

Erin Colleran and Jimmy Dias, 5th grade

On June 1st,  we had 29 Sheehan students participate in a celebratory 5K Run with Girls on the Run.  Girls on the Run is a program designed to support girls’ physical and emotional health and growth. Our girls get outside, set goals, and move more.   They learn intentional decision making, how to use their own voice, and become confident leaders.  Our girls met two afternoons each week from April to June building upon these skills through running.  

THANK YOU to Lauren Leonard, Erin Colleran, Christy McKenney, and many Westwood High School student volunteers for providing this amazing experience for our girls.  Please see attached picture of our students after their 5K Run on June 1st!  WAY TO GO GIRLS!!!!

Looking ahead to our last week of school, I want to share some reminders.
