Krista Monastiero was so thoughtful to organize this! Jim is out on leave to help with family matters. If you want to participate to let him know he’s missed you can drop off cards at either of our houses or find us a pick up!

Cards for Jim! We would love to let our crossing guard Jim know how much he is appreciated and missed. Please feel free to let your children make a card, draw a picture or anything else they'd like to do. Jim brightens each of our mornings with a smile and a wave and we'd love to return the favor. By this afternoon we will have bins for drop off at 7 Third St and 34 Basswood Ave.

Good morning BSA Families!

We hope you had a wonderful vacation week with your student.

Just a quick FYI for fmailies who are interested:

There is Finance Committee Meeting this WEDNESDAY at 7PM at Town Hall.

This is the meeting where the School Department will present their budget the Finance Committee. Finance Committee members put together a recommendation that your Town Meeting Members will vote on in May.

If you have concerns about the disparities between the School Committee Approved Budget and the recommendation of the Board of Selectman (based on the Town Manager's recommnedation) this is a good oportunity to express your concerns.

These meetings are public and are recorded on the Saugus Public Access. Here is a link of two important meetings regarding budget:

Hey BSA Families!

Our Scholastic Book Fair is just around the corner. It begins this upcoming Thursday March 5th! Students will visit the fair and being given the opportunity to shop as part of their normal library class.

We recommend loading funds for your student through Scholastic eWallet. Information and the link to eWallet can be found on our Scholastic Website:

https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/belmontesteamacademy

This year we are launching a Not-so-Secret Mission: Operation Share of the Fair! Every year the PTO works hard to ensure every student is able to leave the fair with a new book. Our building is over 45% low income & we try to ensure that all students get to experience the joy of reading.

Funds raised over and above this mission will be used to stock our book vending machine, provide new titles in the school library (which receives no dedicated budget), and hopefully provide the opportunity for us to discount purchases teachers make for their classrooms during the fair. We appreciate your support either by donating or sharing our mission. You can contribute here: https://shop.scholastic.com/stf/fund?orgUCN=600062679 Feel free to share our mission with your own friends and family.

Lastly, if you'd like to be recruited as a Book Fair Secret Agent (aka PTO VOlunteer) and help out at our fair, please sign up using this Google Form: https://forms.gle/bUbbJDh1ANM4vsum6

Thank you, as always, for your support.
