Hello Bulldog Families,
We had a gorgeous week both learning and weather wise. We will see if mother nature continues this or has some surprises for us in store! This week our classes worked hard to build their 100 acts of kindness. We enjoyed hearing how as a community we continue to grow together more each day! We hope you enjoy Friday and Monday off in observance of President’s Day Weekend. Don’t forget when we return next week, Wednesday is an early release day (1:25 pm) due to professional learning. Check out the info below for exciting news for the weeks ahead!
1-2-3-4 We declare a Penny War! Help raise funds for our 5th graders and a local charity. Information here and this will start February 21st!

Read Across Mathewson Day is Coming! Every year, the month of March is National Reading Month. The start of this is initiated with ‘Read Across America Day’ on March 2. Many schools choose to engage in activities throughout the week which promote books as windows offering views of the world or mirrors where we allow children to see themselves within their text. Throughout the school year, Milford Public Schools work to help students develop a love of reading and an appreciation for where the pages of a book can take you. We look forward to having guest readers help us celebrate on March 2nd at Mathewson!
Mathewson School Spring Photos will be on April 19th. For this Spring photo opportunity our photography offers Personality Portraits. Click here for more information!
