Principal's Message

Dear Zeh Families,

I’m looking forward to a full five-day week next week! Our 4th and 5th graders will take the stage for their first performance of the year at the Music Informance on Wednesday, November 19 at 7:00. I can’t wait to see the musical progress they’ve made so far this year.

I’d also like to invite families to the first of our Math Information Nights this Thursday, November 20, at 6:30 p.m. at Woodward Elementary in Southborough. If you’re unable to attend, there will be a second session on Tuesday, December 3, at 6:00 p.m. at Lincoln Street School. Come learn more about our new math program, Eureka Math².

Have a great weekend!

Details:

Online Spirit Wear Store Open (11/3-11/16): The Zeh Spirit Wear Store will remain open for business until 11/16–don’t miss this rare opportunity to stock up on Zeh gear! It includes various clothing items and accessories for both kids and adults! The items will be here before the holidays and would make great gifts. Proceeds from the sales come back to Zeh. The store will be open from 11/3-11/16. Happy shopping!
Walk/Bike to School (Friday 11/21): Join us between 8:10-8:25am, and be sure to stop by the PTO table to sign the poster and pick up your charm. A great way to start the day!
Picture Re-Take Day (Friday 11/21): Dissatisfied with your child’s portrait and want another try? Please return the undamaged portrait package to the photographer on Retake Day. If you have any specific instructions for the photographer, please jot a note and attach it to the outside of the package so it can be easily seen. Retake packages will be delivered to the school approximately 3-5 weeks after Retake Day.
Penguin Patch Holiday Gift Shop (12/2): Back by popular demand! Mark your calendars for this event happening in the school cafeteria between 6-7:30pm. This event is a fun way to pick out gifts for family and friends! A portion of the proceeds come right back to Zeh. While this is not a drop-off event, shopping “helpers” will be available to assist young children to find just the right secret gift for that special parent or sibling.
