Principal's Warrior Wrap-Up: 10/17/25

🍁Save the date! We will plan to have our annual costume parade on 10/31 at 9:00! This day is also half day too! Students in kindergarten through 5th grade will march around the building (once) joined by our middle school marching band (grades 6-8). If your student has beliefs that prevent them from participating in this event, please let me know and we will plan an alternate activity for them or excuse an absence. The parade will begin at the bus lobby doors and take a right to circle the building before reentering at the same doors. I can't wait to hear what this year's band has in store for us this year!

A reminder about costumes as we are a k to 8 school. Please keep in mind what is cool in 8th grade may be scary to our kindergarteners. Please don't send students to school with costumes that have excessive gore, fake weapons, or masks that cover faces. Inflatable costumes will be a struggle in the classroom so we ask that these be left at home as well unless a student plans to only wear it for the parade. This is one of my favorite TPS traditions!

😊The Student Council is holding a TPS Fall Spirit Week the week of 10/27. Check it out here, but also in the Electronic Blue Folder.

✀ The PTA is looking for crafters that are willing to donate their crafts for the TPS Holiday Shop! The shop will be held the week of 12/15. If you have some crafts that you are willing to share, please reach out to Athena Bierfeldt at athenabierfeldt@gmail.com.

🏀Mr. Ruppert has asked me to remind families that there is no afterschool basketball on 10/23 for middle schoolers!

🦋Lisa's Pollinator Garden and TPS were featured in "Wild Ones" Fall Journal. Check it out on pages 22-23! Congratulations to Dot Odgren and her committee for this recognition!

🎥Hope Lives Here, a local non profit organization, has teamed up with students at WRHS. They are hosting a movie night tonight! Join HLH at Wachusett for a frightfully fun movie night! Costumes are a must for all witches, superheroes and ghosts! We will be showing Hotel Transylvania in the crypt, I mean cafeteria at WRHS on October 17th. All guys and ghouls in grades K-5th are invited to join us...if you dare! Bring your blankets and camp chairs for this drive-in style movie event! We will have tricks and treats available for purchase (popcorn, candy, waters). Use this link to register.

More details are on the flyer in the Electronic Blue Folder.
