Congratulations to Ms. Cayer on being named the Classroom Quarterback by Inside Lowell! https://insidelowell.com/classroom-quarterback-anna-cayer/

Classroom Quarterback: Anna Cayer - InsideLowell by Jen Myers It’s spring and that means – soccer season! In the gym at the McAuliffe Elementary School, teacher Anna Cayer is preparing her students for whatever may happen out on the soccer pitch – even alligators trying to steal soccer balls. The day’s lesson starts with warm up…

Love our UMass Lowell Athletics Pen Pals! Thank you for taking the time to be such great role models to our kids!

The excitement over the eclipse was real today! The timing out the height of it during our dismissal so we gave all kids glasses to take home with them. Such a cool way to experience our world!

Our 3rd Graders are rocking the test today and tomorrow and our 4th Graders will slay it on Thursday and Friday!

All of our kids will be coming home with Eclipse Glasses today. Please consider sending them back to school tomorrow so we can send them to be reused for the October eclipse that can be viewed in Central and South America!

What do these eggs and March Book Madness have in common? Our kids will find out tomorrow at the MCAS Pep Rally!

Due to the weather conditions, there will be a two hour delay for all Lowell Piblic Schools. There will be no AM or PM Pre-K. The McAuliffe will open at 11:10 today. Stay safe everyone.

Today we had the privilege of having the Lowell High School, Lowell MA AFROTC, Step Team, Marching Band, Dance Team, and Volleyball Team at the school to highlight some of the cool programs our kids have to look forward to when they are in high school.

Dress like your favorite Superhero or in Superhero gear on Friday, April 5th as we celebrate our 3rd and 4th Graders who are getting ready for MCAS and the super powers inside all of us!
