Here's your quick 4 from South:
(1.) Community Service Club is running their annual Spring Food Drive throughout the month of April to support the Braintree Food Pantry. Non-perishable food items are always welcomed. The Food Pantry is also seeking: sponges, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, and laundry detergent. See Mrs. Norris in room 212 with any questions. The homeroom that brings in the most items will win a prize (but no opened packages please!)
(2.) For carpoolers: Traffic at morning dropoff is always tricky during MCAS testing days, and we anticipate that will be even worse this year, given the construction traffic. Here's my plug for dropping off at 7:45 AM and beating the crowd!
(3.) Shout out to Nirmay G., who participated in THREE regional competitions this weekend, and advanced to the Nationals in all three! He came in 1st in the Science Bee, 3rd in the History Bee (which also qualifies him for the International History Olympiad), and 6th in the Geography Bee (which also qualifies him for the International Geo Bee). He is forgoing the international competitions, but is looking forward to competing at the Nationals in Orlando, FL in June. Our support and respect go with him for this wonderful opportunity!

- Please be on time--or early!--on your testing dates! Teachers will start the tests as soon as morning announcements are over, so everyone should be in their seats by 8:02.
- To keep traffic flowing smoothly on Peach St, you are encouraged to move off to the side when waiting to take a turn. If you're turning right (coming from Liberty St.) please hug the right shoulder so passing traffic can continue past. If you're turning left, please hug the center line, in the hopes that passing traffic can continue slowly on the right. (I'll be honest, this seems a little dicey--Peach St. is definitely not a 4-lane road--but it's worth a shot!)
- Most importantly: please pull all the way down to the end of the building before letting your child/ren out! The photo below shows that it's the same distance to walk back to the front door as it is to walk up from the road, but people seem allergic to pulling down. It adds at least 4 car lengths, which makes traffic flow so much more quickly through our driveway. You're not a terrible parent if you pull down past the front door; you're an excellent neighbor!
