Dear Families:

Welcome back to a new school year and the start of your child’s middle school experience.  I am happy to be working with the sixth graders at Feinstein Middle School and thrilled to be joined by my wonderful assistant from Flat River and Western, Ms. Diane Pare.  Together we will be working towards making this a very successful year for your child. 

Periodically, I will be sharing news and information that is of general interest to parents.  For example, the “Speaking of Kids” programs, offered through the Lifespan Health Connection (www.Lifespan.org) in partnership with CVS/pharmacy, may be of interest to you.  Below is a list of scheduled seminars that are free and open to the public. Register by calling Lifespan at 401-444-4800 or 1-800-927-1230.  You may attend one, or all of the programs. 

I look forward to meeting you at Open House on the 24^th.

Please contact me at smithresource@gmail.com if you ever have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Susan Smith
