Long weekend ahead!

This morning, our K through 2nd-grade students had the privilege of seeing "You Have Arrived!", a one-person show that used the mesmerizing medium of a dynamic large-scale pop-up book and simple yet visually captivating puppetry. The show invited students to experience the profound transformation of our landscapes, echoing the silent yet powerful stories of displacement and resilience happening throughout the globe. The program was provided in conjunction with the Princeton Town Library and through a generous donation from the Kathryn A. Bisk Enrichment Fund. Mr. Bisk has been working with the Town library to provide extension opportunities for young children in his late wife, Kathryn's name. This year we worked together to make sure the impact was that much greater! I'm so happy our students had the chance to have this fun learning experience. 

It's hard to believe but winter sports is upon us! If you have a Middle School boy interested in

Basketball please sign up here by 11/20. We will not take players who register after the 20th. Tryouts will be on December 2nd, 3rd, and 4th from 3:00-5:00 PM. The roster will be posted Thursday morning on the 5th with rostered players reporting to practice that afternoon. Registration fees will be due at that time. We plan to have 13 players and 2 practice players/team managers. Tryouts will be closed to parents/guardians to avoid undue pressure on the student-athletes. The season will conclude on 2/14. Interested students should work on dribbling, shooting, and running over the next couple of weeks before tryouts. 

Surveying students, there was not enough interest from girls to form a basketball team. However, there was interest in Cheerleading. I have been searching for a coach. If you are interested or know someone who may be interested please reach out. I would like to have this group up and running for December.

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...
