Dear Parents-
Thank you for keeping your kids home if they are sick!
October 7, 2009
I am so thankful to have such great students, parents, and most importantly
staff at the Whitin Middle School.
I would like to send a kind message out to our readers that the website is
something that we utilize because we hope to help students as much as we can.
We are so fortunate to be blessed with 50 amazing students and when we forget
to update the homework some days, it is just because we have given every part
of our heart and soul to your kids. This website is something that we have
tried to do to help everyone. It is not mandatory...but we feel as though it
helps families at home. :)
I am so thankful for Ms. Consoletti. I have never met an individual so
dedicated to 50 students. There has not been a day that has gone by that she
has not called me to chat about kids, classroom climate, and fun activities.
I can honestly say (in a good way) that I don't know if I can keep up with her
sincere, energetic, and sensitive approach to every student.
I have been fortunate enough to get email from former students almost
everyday. Yesterday they told me about their meet in Oxford which is about 5
minutes from my house. Since the location was so close to home, I decided to
stop by with my dog HIggins and I have never felt more important in my life.
This is a testiment to the parents and students to Uxbridge! I thank you for
raising such beautiful, thoughtful,amazing and unique students. I am
completely convinced that the world will be a better place with their
enthusiam for life.
Please parents - remember that change happens a home. Anything is possible.
The world is ready for your child and all that they have to offer!
Be Well-
Kara Ekstrom
