​This month, Cunniff students will virtually attend a Young Audiences of Massachusetts performance featuring the Bamidele Dancers and Drummers. Their show is called “Wongai! Rhythms of West Africa, Brazil & the Caribbean” and they take audiences to Brazil, the Caribbean, and Africa with their instruments, exciting rhythms, costumes, folklore, celebratory dances, and songs.  

Tuesday, October 6 at 7pm on Zoom
​Please join us for our next meeting. Everyone is welcome, especially if you are new to Cunniff or have never been to a PTO meeting before. Watch for the Zoom link in this weekend's Principal's newsletter. We will add the link here and on our Facebook event page once released.  The PTO meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 7pm.

Cunniff is giving away furniture in good condition! Items include file cabinets, bookcases, and tables of all sizes and shapes. You will be able to see these items in the parking lot during supply pick up. Many of these items can be used to organize and set up quiet school work areas for your student. Simply place your name on it in order to reserve it. You will need to have the item(s) removed from the lot by Sunday, September 20.
We are looking for Parent Classroom reps! To volunteer, please send an email to Cunniffpto@gmail.com with your name and the name of the classroom teacher you would like to be the rep for. This job entails receiving a list of parent emails from the class which you will use to communicate information from the PTO about fundraisers or any other pertinent information.
 
Fall After School Activity Camp starting Tuesday, 10/6/20 for kids 7-10 years old. We know that after several hours in front of a computer screen your kiddo will need a safe place to socialize with their friends and run around; all while staying safely socially distant! We've got you covered! We are offering a combo class of open gym (no touching!) and kid yoga -- there are only 10 spots per day so sign up ASAP to reserve your space: https://www.ballroominboston.com/activitycamp/. Scholarships are available - please visit the registration page for more information.
