🎨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 special moment and memory.
♬Mark your calendars that on May 30th, there will be two music performances during the school day at TPS! At 9:00 the band and chorus (grades 5-8) will be performing for parents. At 1:00, grades k-4 willbe peforming. More details will come, but I wanted to give you the heads-up so you can plan to attend!
🎓Eighth Grade Families: The middle school team will be sending home some important eighth grade-related important reminders in the next few weeks. The biggest thing to note is the tentative scheduling of the graduation for 6/10 at 6:00pm @ WRHS.
🠞A Message from Nurse Karina to Seventh Grade Families: During the week of April 28nd, as required by state law, TPS is conducting a screening program related to the use of alcohol, marijuana, and other substances. The Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) process will screen all 7th graders. All screenings will be conducted confidentially by our school nurse in private one-on-one sessions. We will utilize the CRAFFT screening tool, the most commonly used substance use screening tool for adolescents in Massachusetts. The goal of this program is to let the students know that we are available to reinforce healthy decisions and to assist them in obtaining support if needed for substance use-related problems.If you would like to opt your student out of the screening, please fill out the form in this link and send it to the school nurse before 4/28/2025. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to Karina at (978)464-5507 or email at Karina_Abbascia@wrsd.net.
