🎨This week, all schools in the WRSD celebrated the District Art Show at Wachusett. Mrs. Finkler has the unique opportunity to work with a group of artists spanning 9 grade levels! Choosing pieces was no easy decision, and I was honored to be a part of choosing this year's pieces. It really is amazing to see the amount of talent we have here at TPS!   I'd like to take a moment to recognize the TPS artists who were chosen to have their art displayed:  Justine Root, Benny Wojnarowicz, Effie Ciara, Emma Whitcomb, Cortland Finkler, Flora Trowbridge, Maddie Melehov, Carter Chabot, and Elianna Serewicz.   🏀This afternoon we celebrated the kick off of vacation with a student/staff basketball game! Middle school students who signed up to play battled staff in what was a very  entertaining game! I'm sorry to say, the staff won! It sure was fun and what a perfect day to have it outside!  I always love an opportunity to get our entire student body together for a...

👊ELA MCAS is behind us.  I'd like to celebrate all of our TPS students who worked hard, put forth their best efforts, and maybe even overcame technology glitches!  Looking ahead, Math MCAS is scheduled for grades 3-8 on May 5th and May 6th.   ⭐Reminder that report cards are posted for grades 6-8 today through the Powerschool portal!  🎓Parents of 8th Grade, we are tentatively scheduled for graduation on 6/10 barring any more snow days or scheduling conflicts! Pencil it in on your calendars! 🚙I'd like to take this opportunity to revisit the parent pick up line in the afternoon.  We've been having some difficulty with cars doubling up in line a little too early, making it hard for families who are dismissing their students.   Moving forward, please don't start doubling up until 2:40 PM and stay in the line on the left until then. Please let grandparents, babysitters or other caregivers know this too.  I might  suggest to the families who...

 🎨This week we welcomed artist Bren Bataclan .  Sponsored by the PTA, Bren shared his love of art and also his talent! On Monday he met with the entire student body and shared about his art journey. He involved students in drawing exercises and collected samples to be his inspiration for the cafeteria mural. He worked all week in the cafe drawing and painting. Even staff had the opportunity to paint! He incorporated students' designs and ideas into the mural and added life to the room! The students really loved watching him work, having the opportunity to talk with him and ask questions, and of course give him feedback that he was doing the best job!  The mural came out amazing. It put a smile on everyone's face when it was revealed on Friday morning.  A huge thank you to Bren Bataclan and to the TPS PTA for the opportunity and for the joy the mural has brought and will continue to bring to TPS.  Be sure to check out the TPS Instagram (@tpswarriors) for picture...
