Almost vacation!

Thanks to Mrs. Dolat, our reading challenge is off to a huge success! As of last Friday, 76 students in grade K-5 participated for the month of January. February is already up and running so ask your student if they are particpating. This month it opened up to Middle Schoolers as well! 




I'd like to recognize our 8th graders who audtioned and were accepted into the Central MA Junior District Band and Orchestra groups! Congratulations Josiah, AJ, and Cailyn! We're proud of you! 

The town office has asked me to share with you that they are recruiting students and residents to be involved in Community Heart and Soul. This is a resident-driven process that engages the entire population of the town in identifying what they love most about their community, what future they want for it, and how to achieve it. Developed and field-tested over a decade in partnerhsip with over 120 small citites and towns across America, Community Heart & Sould is a proven process for engaging a community in shaping its future. Stay tuend for a Community Introduction in March. The Project Organizer and Facilitator will be here to talk about the project and answer questions. We will have refreshments. You can reach out to Sherry Patch with any questions, townadministrator@town.princeton.ma. 

A note about Spring Track and Field is linked here an in the electronic folder. This is coaches lastseason before retiring. He has brought so many championships to TPS. But more importantnly, he has guided our students over the last three decades to be kind, resilient competitors! I'd encourage parents of students in 5th through 8th grades to see his letter. 

In March, the PTA will be hosting artist Bren Bataclan who will work with the students to create a new mural in the cafeteria! You can learn more about Bren in the video embedded below! We are excited to work with him and add some pop to the cafeteria!

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...

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 ...
