MLK Celebration a Wonderful Day
Tuesday's day long celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday was a wonderful experience. From the well attended and delicious Community Breakfast in the morning to the artwork and poetry displayed all over the school to the lunch of vegetable stew and warm bread made and served by the fourth graders to the afternoon assembly - there were many examples of Dr. King's messages at work!
The assembly was really fantastic. After a rousing song by Ms. GB and a welcome address by Mr. Wiley, we all viewed a slide presentation with many wonderful pictures of Dr. King and his family and friends (sent to us by Mrs. Roberts - we miss you!). Following another song, Mr. Eshu Bumpus wrapped us all up in a song he wrote about Dr. King and folk tale from Zimbabwe about brave and creative children. This was followed by "I am Young and Positive" (by the Crocker Chorus) and a lively performance (by Crocker's Umoja dancers). Mr. Morris and Ms. Lev came next to show "How You Made Me Feel Welcome", a slide show of the new faces at our school. The afternoon closed with the entire school singing "Shed a Little Light" that had everyone clapping.
Congratulations to the teachers who pulled this all together and to the students for their talents and energy!

School District Mission and Values Discussion
On Wednesday, January 23, Superintendent Jere Hochman will present an overview of the Amherst-Pelham schools. This brief presentation will be followed by and important hour of dialogue about our school districts' MISSION and VALUES. What do YOU believe to be the most essential values our schools should characterize? What do YOU believe to be the mission of our public schools? It has been several years since our schools adopted a mission statement. I imagine if you ask several individuals within the schools what our mission is, they would respond "Every student, Every day!" That simple phrase is packed with meaning and understandings -- yet we must ask ourselves if there is consensus in its meaning and does it serve as a valued ends upon which we direct all means? Please join us on January 23! Meetings will occur in the Bangs Center at 1:00 p.m. and in the Middle School Cafeteria at 7:00 p.m. Bring a friend! (Oh, and please do not park in the fire lanes).

Principal Search Survey
PLEASE take the time now to respond to the Superintendent regarding your opinion on the questions below. Dr. Hochman has given each and every one of us the opportunity to share our ideas NOW. Beginning the week of January 28th, actual principal candidates will be brought in to be interviewed. The process is underway and right now it is our turn to participate. So please take the time to respond: (if you want to print out the survey and fill it out and get it back to school, you can find it here. If you want to email your responses directly to Dr. Hochman, email him through his assistant, westmorelandd@arps.org
Here is the survey:

What grade is your child?
What are the strengths and successes of Crocker Farm School?
What are the topics, issues or goals that you think should be addressed in upcoming years at Crocker Farm School?
What are the characteristics you would hope to see in the new Principal of Crocker farm School?
Right before the holiday break, the PGO helped host a visit from our Superintendent to discuss with us the process by which a new principal will be chosen for our school, since Paul Wiley will be retiring.
