• Field trips to educational destinations.

• Academic and social-emotional all-school presentations.

• Visiting presenters for grade-specific programs.

• Carefully chosen by our Birch teachers and principal.

• Complementary to teacher-guided learning and MA curriculum frameworks.

Through Enrichment, grades 1-5 go on at least one field trip per year. Every grade including Kindergarten is provided with many wonderful in-school, curriculum-related programs and all-school assemblies and activities.

• Mostly by parents! $16,000 of the $17,000 PTO direct donation goal for the 2019-20 school year is allocated for Enrichment.

• With grants whenever possible.

• Also thanks to the generosity of some free or discounted presenters, such as the Friends of Parker Tavern and Zoo New England.

• The wonderful Birch Meadow parent volunteers on our PTO Enrichment Committee!

• New committee members are always welcome to join us to coordinate with teachers and Principal Hendrix.
