Weekly Update: February 28, 2026

Feb 28

We have to begin with a small collection of storm photos!

Downtown New Bedford, beautifully captured by our own Ms. Bowles.

Ms. Kozak’s tallest family member, “Frosty.”

Itsy-bitsy, teensy-weensy Mila bravely heading out for a quick “pee break.”

A snow mountain on the street in front of Ms. Herman’s home. A full week after the storm three front loaders and two bobcats were still hard at work—building and hauling away piles of snow from neighborhood streets!

Understandably, many are wondering: do these snow days impact our school year calendar? After careful consideration—and keeping in mind that our school days are already longer than a traditional schedule—the answer is no. Our calendar will remain unchanged. We will stay the course and stand by the thoughtfully crafted schedule already in place.

During our Zoom Community Meeting on Wednesday we enjoyed an impromptu show and tell of family pets including Fluffy the bunny, many curious cats, cuddly dogs, and even a bearded dragon! It is disappointing that we didn’t snap a screenshot to share the sweetness.

When we inquired about blizzard snacks we enjoyed during the blizzard and week-long storm clean up, the mouth watering listed included: ice cream, cookie skillet, chocolate bunnies, and Jag - a Portuguese/Cape Verdean food. Chips and queso, Dunkin’ Donuts, cookies and cake pops, apples and peanut butter – yum! Strawberry cheesecake ice cream, hot cheetos and nutella, banana pancakes, banana bread, and brownies. Chocolate cake, chocolate chip pancakes with a fruit salad, Biscoff tiramisu. I got hot cocoa and banana bread, ice cream sundae, lots of hot cocoa, chocolate cream pie, pesto with pasta and lemon ginger tea! Cupcakes, more cupcakes, green apples and ice cream from the snow. We made a yellow cake that finished baking one minute before the power went out. So yummy! And finally, “food - I ate too much to recall!”
