Tuesday was National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day and I want to recognize the support that the entire Princeton Police Department gives. Chief Patrucarca has always made himself accessible and we meet regularly to discuss school safety concerns. Sargent Thebeau is equally accessible and has been great to work with. We are also fortunate to have our SRO Officer Doyle and sidekick Officer Cruiser. Word is Officer Cruiser will officially be sworn in on January 18th at 10:00 in the Annex. Community members are welcome to attend. 

Last night, I had the privilege of attending our Concert at WRHS! We talk about being a STEAM school and I think it is important to remember that A stands for Arts. The auditorium was packed to listen to our students perform. The Orchestra, led by Mrs. Haynes, played beautifully. The Chorus, led by Mrs. LeMay, filled the auditorium with joyous sound. And the band, conducted by Mrs. Brais, made boisterous music. The culminating act had the band playing Auld Lang Syne before the chorus joined in and eventually the audience as well. It was a great evening! 


The annual TPS Reading Challenge is back! The student recording sheets for the January challenge were sent home this week. Every student who participates will receive a small prize at the end of the month and will be entered into a monthly raffle. One lucky student will win a larger prize each month. Every month brings with it a new challenge and a new chance to win a prize!  Students are excited and have already started turning in their completed recording sheets! This program gets our students excited about reading and provides a way for them to practice goal-setting each month. Our terrific library volunteers display the monthly challenges in our library and display books that fit the prompts. Classroom teachers also highlight appropriate books in classroom libraries. This can also give families structure for developing regular at-home reading habits and give purpose to public library trips. Reach out to Mrs. Dolat with any questions. 
Stay tuned for a separate challenge to roll out for our Middle School Students beginning next week!

Mid Summer!

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer! We are excited to have the kids back...just not yet. We still have some work to do. However, I wanted to put several things on your radars.  We have scheduled our annual  Popsicles on the Playground for   August 23rd from 4:00-6:00. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the weather cooperates and we can actually have the event on the playground. I'm 0 for 2 so far in my tenure here! This event is hosted by the PTA and is an opportunity for all students to get reacclimated to the building and new students to get some nerves out and possibly make some new friends. This is also an opportunity to pick up new t-shirts. Use this link and order by August 14th to get them in time. I'd encourage everyone to consider joining the PTA team!   Updated School Supply lists can be found on our website here . Our goal is always to keep costs for  families down, however, if the list proves to be too much for you please reach out...

All the things!

The Middle School started the week off with a special presentation from Mr. John Frost. He travels the world witnessing and documenting eclipses. He shared his passion with the Middle Schoolers and explained the coming eclipse to them. The kids left excited about this upcoming phenomenon! Just a reminder that April 8th is a school day.  The bus company has asked me to remind parents that any balls transported on the bus should be tucked into backpacks before boarding. Apparently, there have been some issues with loose balls rolling around buses and this can be a safety hazard. Thanks for your attention to this matter.  As you may know, our courtyards are maintained by volunteers. They are due up for their spring cleanup . Ms. Santello will be leading a group of volunteers to tackle the Bangrazi courtyard on Saturday, April 6th from 9:00-2:00. Help clean up the raised garden beds, rake leaves, weed, and plant. Snacks and coffee provided. Contact Ms. Santello at elaine_sant...
