🌟Don't forget the last day of school is Monday!  Dismissal begins at 11:55! There is no breakfast or lunch served on Monday and snacks/water will not be for sale! 👏It was a fantastic last full week of school!  On Tuesday we celebrated the graduation of the 8th grade.   We also celebrated with a dance at Harrington Farm last night!  This week's 8th grade events have truly been bittersweet. Today's parade throughout the building was certainly emotional for all, as these Warriors have walked our halls since kindergarten!  We wish them all the best as they move on to high school!  🥰I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over the course of the last few months as I transitioned into this interim role.  I have truly appreciated the dialogue, the connections, and the opportunity to work with this great TPS community in a different role! I am hoping you saw the email from central office that I will remain as the TPS Interim Prin...

A Fun-Filled Week!

➤Today we held an ALICE drill.  The staff and students did an amazing job. A special thanks to the PPD for the support and being here as we ran the drill!  🌞Field Day was amazing on Wednesday!  While it was a hot day, it was still jam-packed with fun.  From the bouncy house, to face painting, to karaoke, to relay races and more, there were smiles abounding. A big shout out to Mrs. McDonald who worked hard to organize it all!  Thank you to the parent volunteers who made the day a success, the PTA for your donations, the Viking Challenge team for the inflatables, the PPD for taking the time out of their schedules to be part of our day, Lisa's Pollinator Garden volunteers, and to Mr. Oles who graciously donated water and ice! It takes a village and for everyone's contribution, I am grateful.  More photos and videos can be see on the TPS Instagram.  👏I'd like to take a moment to say thank you to the amazing STEAM Committee who organized a STEAM-filled ye...

Bravo TPS Warriors!

🌟I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Brais and Mrs. LeMay for an awesome day of music today.  I absolutely love seeing our students perform and demonstrate their strengths and passions for music.  I don't know about you, but my face hurts from smiling. It was a great day - even if a wasp visit changed the plans just a bit this afternoon.  Bravo TPS Warriors!  I'll be uploading pictures and videos on the TPS Instagram later today.  👕Another reminder that Field Day is coming on June 4th!

👏Welcome Back! I hope everyone had a wonderful break.  We really lucked out with how gorgeous it was!  It's crazy to think we are already in the homestretch.   🎤At this week's School Committee Meeting, our Project 351 Ambassador, Jude Hebb, was introduced.  Jude did a great job sharing her favorite parts of the program with the committee and attendees! To hear her speech, check out the TPS Instagram account @tpswarriors !  We are so proud of Jude for representing TPS and for her efforts within the organization!    🗣I always love to share the awesome things happening in our classrooms.
