Volunteer extraordinaire Mr. Urban gave Ms. Berry’s class a ukulele lesson today. #rowelearns #musiclessons

Our Rowe School voting results were 168 for the Ten Spin (similar to a merry-go-round) and 40 for funnel ball. A special thanks goes out to Ms. Berry, one of our first grade teachers, who came up with the idea of having the children vote! Our wonderful PTO group has made this addition to our playground possible. #rowelearns

School Bonds Approved: Thank you voters, for approving expansion of all four Yarmouth Schools. The real work begins now!

First and 7th graders replenished the tulip bulbs in the rainbow garden in front of Rowe School this week. The garden was originally planted when the current 7th graders were first graders! This was truly an amazing event for all involved. A special thanks goes out to parent volunteer Amy Sinclair who headed up this project 6 years ago and again yesterday for our students.

Rowe School Community meeting. We sang our school song, read a few poems and heard about teacher’s favorite fall activities. #rowelearns #buildingschoolculture

Power outages continue throughout town, including all four schools, and power lines are down on West Elm Street. Therefore, school is cancelled in Yarmouth for Tuesday, October 16.

Due to power outages throughout Yarmouth, there will be a two hour delay to the start of school today, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16. If power is not restored, we will have to cancel school for the day. That decision will be made by 7:30 a.m. This message will be updated at that time.
