Family Newsletter

March 30, 2026
Dear Momauguin Families,

Thank you for taking the time to complete the Mid-Year Family-School Relationship Survey. We are proud to share that Momauguin School received 72 responses—the highest in the district! Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps guide our ongoing efforts to strengthen partnerships between home and school. We truly appreciate your voice and your continued support.

There was a great turn out for the Family Folk Dance event last week. Check out some photos below. Thank you Ms. Meachen for hosting the event and all those who participated.

We are also excited to share that there is another FREE Family Fun Night happening this week! Our PTO will be hosting Spring BINGO, and we hope you will consider joining us for an evening of fun with your family. There will be student prizes and plenty of excitement for all who attend.

We look forward to seeing many of you there!


Thank you for your continued support!

In partnership,
Julie Oca Church

Book Fair This Week

The Book Fair is this week! The Fair encourages students to read AND raises much-needed funds for our school library. The easiest way for kids to pay is with an eWallet. Create one for your child so they can shop cash free and independently! Visit our school homepage to get started: https://scholastic.com/bf/momauguinelementaryschool.

The Book Fair will be open from 5:30- 7 p.m. on Thursday evening for families to shop with their child(ren).

Superintendent's Reading Challenge

The Superintendent's Spring Reading Challenge has begun.
Please record the books your child reads and return Reading Logs to school as requested by the classroom teacher. Some classes have weekly logs and others are collected monthly. We love to celebrate their hard work and participation.

Spring Reading Challenge highlights:

  • Students will read and track books through May 1, 2026.
  • Students will submit their total number of books read.
  • During the month of May, the Superintendent will announce student winners and award a grade-level class trophy.
  • The classroom in each grade level across the district that reads the most books will earn an Ice Cream Social (dates to be determined). 

Thank you for your continued partnership in encouraging reading at home. We are proud of our readers and look forward to another exciting challenge this spring.
