State Representative visits Clough School

The students in Mrs. Brigham’s third grade class had a very important guest. They had the pleasure of Representative Fernandes visiting their class. Mr. Fernandes talked with the students about what his job entails and took a great deal of time to answer all of their well thought out questions about his job, what he likes, and what his hopes are for the future.  I was extremely impressed with the students inquisitive minds. It was wonderful to see someone as busy as Representative Fernandes make time for the students at Clough. He promised he will back to read during our Dr. Seuss celebration. We look forward to having him back in our school.

At this time of the year when many people are thinking about family, friends, and what they are thankful for, I would like to say a fond Thank You to each of you who have helped us in so many ways. Some of the specific things that I am thankful for at Henry P. Clough Elementary are:

v  I am thankful for students who eagerly come to school to learn as much as is possible each day.

v  I am thankful for a beautiful school where students can come to learn and grow.

v  I am thankful for teachers and staff who give many hours of their days to provide students with the instruction and guidance needed to help students succeed.

v  I am thankful for parents who support the efforts of our school.

v  I am thankful for the community for their support.

It is gratifying to be involved with such a caring, supportive, and effective group of people working together for our children. One team, one goal, no limits!  Thank you for all you do to help Clough be the best school it can be.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families!

Most Sincerely,

Janice Gallagher
