Good Evening Pocasset Families,
I hope you're having a great week so far! We have some exciting events soon at Pocasset:
1. Tiverton Fire Dept. Shout-Out: Fire Prevention Day was SUPER on Monday! Many thanks to our friendly Tiverton Fire Department firefighters, who explained the fire truck, ambulance and AWESOME Safety Trailer!

3. Student voting is almost complete! Each month I create a poll for students to vote on Dress Up Days for the upcoming month. For the first vote, we have our 1-4 graders vote (Kindergartener are still learning how to navigate Google Classroom and will be included in our next vote). I will share results with students tomorrow afternoon and will send out to all a calendar of events.
I hope everyone has a wonderful night!
