Saying Goodbye...

Dear Boys and Girls,

I cant believe how quickly this year has gone by. You have all worked so hard in both STEAM and ELA. I hope you enjoyed the time we spent growing together. Even though I will be a STEM teacher over at KCC next year, please know I will always be thinking of you and that you have a permanent place in my heart. Thank you for working so hard to protect our planet, treat each other with kindness, and to push yourselves to do your deepest thinking. I am so proud of you!! I hope to see you over the summer enjoying Cape Cod and maybe at my book club too! LOVE, Ms. Martin

Falcon 5K Color Run!!!

     On Saturday June 13th,  Quashnet families went to the Falcon 5k Color run. Just so you know 5k means 3.1 miles.  It's called the Color Run because you get colored cornstarch thrown at you at least 10 times on the way there and back which sticks to your white t-shirt AND everywhere else too! The race started at the Quashnet school and you go around the field once and then back around the QES.  Next we ran up to the K.C. Coombs school, went through a secret path and then ended up at the Boys and Girls club. We ran down 151 until we reached Mr.Morris...he was the turn around point! From there, we turned back and made it back to QES for the finish line! The Color Run was set up by the Quashnet P.T.O., so the next time you see them maybe you should give them a thanks. We were also inspired by runners of all shapes, sizes, and abilities to try their best on such a challenging event!

  

      The Color Run goal was to raise money for a 10-station fitness trail around the Quashnet campus, but we raised so much money (around $21,000!!!) that we can get 20 stations. If you are wondering about the money we had a fundraiser to get the fitness trail. Family members ran in the race for free if you raised $150 in donations. We are wondering what the fitness trail will look like!

      When you raise money you earn prizes that you wear in the Color Run. At the end everyone takes out their color dye packs and throws them in the air. Everybody gets color all over them. We thought it was fun to get so messy and to race against friends, family, and teachers. If you are wishing you were there, don't worry, next year you will get a chance at the second QES COLOR RUN!!!
