CROSSING GUARD APPRECIATION DAY
Broadmeadow is celebrating Crossing Guard Appreciation Day on Wednesday, March 26th! Our amazing crossing guards—Chuck Heintz, Lillian Brown, and Sue as well as parent volunteer Charly Nanda—help keep our families safe as we navigate our school and neighborhoods. Let's show our appreciation by making a card of thanks (free printable card available here) or saying "thank you" as we pass by.

ICE SKATING
Lace up your skates and join the Broadmeadow community for an ice skating party on Saturday, April 5th, from 3pm to 4pm at the Babson Skating Center located at 150 Great Plain Avenue, Wellesley. Students and parents/guardians are welcome to skate.
This event is for the Broadmeadow Community and is sponsored by the PTC. The costs for skating and skate rentals are included in this sponsorship! Babson has approximately 100 pairs of skates, so if you need to rent, please plan to arrive early.
Babson's capacity is approximately 200, so we need to cap participation at that number. Please secure your spot by clicking here. This is NOT a drop-off event.
Questions? Email Kristine Gaumnitz at iceskating@broadmeadowptc.org.
