CFB is so proud of our 5th Grade musicians’ recent performance! We hope you all enjoyed the snow day on Monday, but as we return, please help us stay healthy by following Nurse Jewett’s 24-hour fever-free policy.
If you have any fun photos from over the snowy weekend that you would like to share, please email them to sbomba@millisschools.org.
Please check out this week's and last week's newsletter for more information regarding the school's fever policy and to get updates on what's happening around CFB!

One of the best ways to help your child succeed in the classroom is already in your game closet. Read this week’s Family Bear's Den to discover how family game nights build math skills, resilience, and lasting bonds. Check out our list of classic game recommendations as well.

CFB will be having a Patriots' Spirit Day / Color Day on Friday, January 9th.
