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!

Image
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...

Just over a week to go and I wanted to get this on the top of everyone's emails! A few notes below, a link to the last communication with full details, and here is the link for 5th-8th grade music sign-ups.  Come join us on Friday for Popsicles on the Playground from 4:00-6:00! The weather just might cooperate this year! Library volunteers:  Our TPS Library volunteer crew is getting ready to open the library on the first day of school! Beginning on Day 1, children who arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 are invited to spend time in the Library checking out books, playing games, or hanging out with friends. We can't wait to see them! We are also welcoming new volunteers to our library crew! Our volunteers read to classes when they visit the library, help students check books out, and keep our library organized and beautiful. Volunteer when your child visits, or come at any other time of the day for behind-the scenes tasks. Younger siblings are welcome to join you! If you'd like to ...
