Dear Cub Run Families,

Today begins the month-long Ramadan period for our Muslim families. If your child will be fasting during this time, please communicate this to your child's teacher. Ramadan Mubarak to all who celebrate! 

As you'll see below, our annual Cub Run vs. Virginia Run staff and 6th graders volleyball match will be this Friday at 7:00 p.m. at Westfield High School. This is such a fun event, and we hope to see you there to cheer us on! After being separated by the pandemic for so long, I appreciate coming together as a community now more than ever.

Have a wonderful week!

 

Warmly,

Seeking Families' Input for the 23-24 School Year

It's already time to start thinking about class groupings for our cubbies for the 2023-24 school year! We value families' input in this process and ask that you fill out this form to let us know if your student will be returning to Cub Run next year. For those who are planning to return, there is an option on the form to tell us more about the type of learning environment that best serves your child, as well as any other considerations for us to keep in mind as we create class groupings for next year. We ask that families not make requests for specific teachers.

 We’ll meet at Westfield HS at 6:45 p.m. to warm up before the 7 p.m. game. Matches will be our staff vs. Virginia Run’s staff, and our 6th graders against the Virginia Run 6th graders. Come on out and cheer on our cubbies!
