Seventh graders enjoyed their field trip.

Dear Melican Families -


Thank you to our Sixth Grade Stage Band for performing on Thursday evening at our Grade 5 Caregiver Orientation.  It is a true sign of spring when we begin our welcome events for our future Sixth Graders and their families.

Our seventh graders had a great time at their STEM field trip to the Patriot's Hall of Fame today. In spite of a longer return trip than expected, students and teachers alike enjoyed their visit to Foxboro.

We wish our student musicians well as they participate in the MICCA Instrumental and Choral Festival on Saturday.  We know that they will represent our school and district well.

Spring sports begin on Wednesday, April 1st. While teams will meet at Melican to begin on Wednesday, stay tuned for try out locations as our backyard is still quite soggy.

Please reach out with any questions. 

Respectfully,


Michelle T. Karb, Principal

Gretchen M. Bean, Assistant Principal


Please help us support Cradles to Crayons. 
The drive will run from March 31 - April 6
