Scholastic Book Fair Is Back At McAvinnue!

We are once again bringing back the Scholastic Book Fair one final time this school year during the week of Monday, May 19th - Friday, May 23rd.

As usual, your child will have an opportunity to visit the Book Fair before there scheduled day to make a purchase. Your child's teacher will reach out to you with the date that week that the class will head to make purchases. Stay tuned for this outreach from your child's teacher.

We will offer extended time during McAvinnue's "International Night" on Thursday, May 22nd to visit the Scholastic Book Fair with your child! This opportunity will occur from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM.

Below is the link for our school homepage. Here you will have the opportunity to catch a glimpse at the digital flyer, and, should you choose to, also set up their e-wallet which makes purchasing books very easy for your child!

Please keep in mind that the money that is raised will be used to purchase books for our students at McAvinnue!

McAvinnue's International Night

We are thrilled to invite you to McAvinnue’s Annual International Night on Thursday, May 22nd @ 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM. This is a very special evening dedicated to celebrating the amazing cultures and traditions that make up our school community!

As part of the festivities, we are asking families to bring a favorite family dish that reflects their heritage, culture, or family traditions.

Here are a few important details:

• What to Bring: A dish that is meaningful to your family and represents your cultural background. It could be an appetizer, main dish, dessert, or snack — whatever you love to share!

• Serving Size: Please prepare a dish that can serve about 20–25 small portions, so many families have the chance to sample different foods.

• Labeling: If possible, please include a small label with the name of the dish, the country or culture it represents, and any important ingredients (to help those with allergies).

• Allergies: We kindly ask that you list common allergens (such as nuts, dairy, eggs, gluten, etc.) if they are included.

• Drop-off Time: Please bring your dish to the gymnasium at 5:00 PM - 5:30 PM. Tables will be set up for you to display your dish.

• Optional: Feel free to bring a small flag, photo, or short description that tells a little about your dish or your family's story!

This evening is always one of the highlights of our school year — a time to connect, share traditions, and learn from one another. We can't wait to experience the delicious tastes and rich stories that each of you will bring to this beautiful night!

If you are planning to bring a dish, please RSVP by reaching out to Mrs. De La Luz at adelaluz@lowell.k12.ma.us or send back the bottom portion of the flyer that was sent home before Spring Break so we can plan accordingly.

Thank you for helping us make our International Night a meaningful and memorable event!
