MAKO MEMO

February 10, 2023

Dear Mullen-Hall Families,

Lawrence School engineering classes have built a toy box for our outside recess toys. It is located in front of the school. Thank you for this generous donation!

A community meeting was on February 7th. Grade Two presented Read Across America that will begin on the Monday we return from winter break. Be looking for the calendar of events in the next Mako Memo!

Thank you to all who contributed to the Chase Foundation. The Mullen Hall community collected three hundred dollars! Dribble on with kindness!

Monday Magic!

Celebrations are an important part of the school year, and activities to observe holidays and celebrate students will continue. Please remember classroom based celebrations (e.g., birthday parties, holidays) are food free. Thank you for your support. Elementary Handbook

The Lost and Found is overflowing with winter jackets, sweatshirts, hats and gloves. We have three tables set up in the main hallway for easy viewing. Please encourage your student to stop by and take a peek!

From Our Counselors:

Did you know at Mullen Hall students can receive free grab-and-go breakfast every morning as well as free lunch in the cafeteria? In addition to breakfast and lunch, all classes also have a snack time every day. Please remember to send your student in with healthy snack options. We do have free snacks we can provide from the local group, Cape Kid Meals. Snacks can be found in the counseling suite for any student who forgets their snack or does not have one for any reason.

Cape Kid Meals also offers weekend food bags with some meal starters and snacks for students who maybe need a little extra for the weekends to take home on Fridays. If you have any questions about food or snacks, or would like to sign up for our weekend food program please reach out to one of the counselors, Wendy Risko, Renee Martin or Samantha Mueller at 508-548-0220 x0. You can find out more about Cape Kid Meals at https://capekidmeals.org/ .
