We are very excited to learn about your lives and your umuduguda in Rwinkwavu. We have a lot to share with you about Heights Elementary School, and our town of Sharon, Massachusetts.

There are five schools in our small town of Sharon. The three elementary schools that have grades K-5, one middle school that has grades 6-8 and a high school that has grades 9-12.

Our elementary school, Heights Elementary is located on S. Main Street in Sharon. There are about 520 students in our school. Our school day begins at 8:40 and lasts until 2:50, Monday through Friday. During the day, we have reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. Each day we have a special including, art, music, gym (twice a week) and library. We also go to Computer Lab once a week. We also have lunch and recess everyday. We can either bring lunch from home or buy lunch at school. For recess, we go outside to paly on a playground. We can play on monkey bars, swings, climbing structures, basketball and football. Some students like to jump rope, run around, playing tag and other games. There is a program before and after school for children who would like to attend.

Sharon is located about 30 miles southwest of our capital city of Boston. We are also about 30 miles north of Providence, RI. We are next to Foxboro, MA where the New England Patriots play football for the National Football League. In our town there is a lake for swimming, boating, and fishing. There is also a big Fourth of July celebration at the lake with an amazing fireworks display. We also have two farms. One is a dairy farm that sells ice cream and milk. The other farm is right next to our school and sells fruits, vegetables and plants. There are other areas for recreation including baseball and soccer fields. There is also Moosehill Audubon Society and Borderland State Park which are great places for hiking, bird and animal watching.
