Our Annual International Night was a HUGE success this year! We had delicious food from all over the world and 16 tables representing the countries and cultures that are at the Philbrick. The night ended with the famous “Musical Cakes” which raised more than $300 for the 5th grade trip to Ferry Beach. Thank you to all faculty, families, friends, and students who made the night a huge success!

Families are invited to our Philbrick Math Pi Night on Thursday, March 14, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Ironically the date of the event, 3.14, is otherwise known as Pi! The evening will begin with dinner and then teachers will have math activities in the classroom. Please bring a pizza PIE and/or a dessert PIE to share. Families will have an opportunity to learn about the math curriculum and ways you can help your child at home. There will also be an opportunity to
meet your child’s next year’s teacher and learn about the math curriculum and expectations for next year. A flyer was sent home with complete information. We hope you can attend!
The Mayor has cancelled school due to the recent snow storm. NO SCHOOL: Friday, February 8; Monday, February 11; and Tuesday, February 12.

Despite our best efforts to scare mother nature away, we are expected to have record snowfall this weekend with blizzard conditions. As a result, we will have to postpone the Philbrick Social and Silent Auction to March 23, at the Boston Nature Center from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. The social will NOT take place this Saturday, February 9, at the Sons of Italy.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the baskets, bought raffle tickets, and helped to organize the event- we will continue to collect items, donations and sell raffle tickets through the middle of March.
We hope to see you March 23, 2013 and hopefully you all enjoy the snow this weekend!
The Philbrick community will lace up its skates on Wednesday, February 6, at Kelly Rink in Jamaica Plain. 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Event is free for Philbrick families.
