I wanted to take a moment to recognize our Lego League team who competed last weekend. After months of preparation and practice, they brought their presentation and their robot to WPI to compete. I am so proud of them and all the missions they completed, the perseverance they showed, and the adjustments they made throughout the day. Leading up to the competition, I was able to sit and see the presentation that went along with their work. I was blown away! They created a website, a video with a green screen, and a model. Everyone had a part and they worked seamlessly together. That is part of why it was not a huge surprise to me that they won the judges' award last weekend and were invited to participate in States this coming weekend. You can check out their trophy on our trophy shelf in the lobby. Best of luck to them!  If you do swing by to check out the trophy, you'll also have an opportunity to check the lost and found. This is the last call before we make donations with wha...

The Holiday Shop was a huge success! It was great to see so many kids with smiling faces and all walked out with something. It's nice to have kids shopping and thinking of others. The PTA did a great job stocking the shelves and decorating. We had so many crafty donations from people in the community, too. We also couldn't have done it without the numerous volunteers helping kids shop and managing the register.  The PTA is also excited to announce that we once again be participating in the Worcester Bravehearts reading program. Even though it is typically billed as a K-5 program, Middle School students are encouraged to participate. We are expecting some guests from the Braveheart to visit next week to help kick off the program for kids. You can learn more about the program and submit logged books here .  We are looking for YOU! Have you ever thought about working with children? Were you a teacher at one point and would like to slowly reenter the classroom? We are current...

And just like that, it is December! The student council has asked me to share with folks that they are beginning a collection for old legos . They are encouraging kids to dig through their old play bins and pull together those discarded legos for someone who would truly appreciate them through the Lego Replay Program  who promotes sharing and sustainability. It seems like a good time to remind you that we also have a Toys for Tots box in the main lobby.   Mrs. Finkler has asked me to share that our SquareOneArt order deadline has been extended! The NEW order deadline for TPS is Monday, December 4th. However, please keep in mind that today, 12/1 is the last day for Holiday Delivery items.  Next week, the PTA reopens the Holiday Shop ! It is such a fun tradition here at TPS. If you remember, last year was such a hit, the store ran out and needed to resupply several times. This year it is stocked in anticipation of our shoppers.  Regardless of what holidays you ce...
