You will self select which group you believe you should be in.  You can only select ONE for now. Mondays will be for students who want to learn the game, through skills and playing, but more for fun.  Wednesdays will be for students who want to compete more and will improve their game through challenges. See or email Mr. Revell at brevell@concordps.org if you have any questions.

In any given year, more than 100,000 of them will experience homelessness.

We’re collecting “chapter books” only, but for any age: early-reader to teen. Please drop books off in the boxes at Sanborn or Peabody by Friday, March 30th. If you have any questions, contact Caroline Graziani.
