Principal's Warrior Wrap-Up: 11/14/25

😊Good news to share! Mr. Cormier will be returning on 11/24. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Cheryl Burgoyne for stepping in and doing an absolutely amazing job in the main office. Honestly, I'm not sure what I would have done without her! Until 11/24, please continue to reach out to her with questions or concerns about main office matters.

🖳Mark your calendars for a PTA Meeting on Tuesday, November 18 at 6-7PM. The meeting will be held in the TPS Library, but also online! Here is the Zoom link to attend!

🤖The FIRST Lego League Explore program is being run for children in grades 1 through 4 starting in early January. The meetings are once a week after school at TPS. The season is 10 meetings. The program introduces kids to STEM using Legos and Lego robotics. It focuses on creativity, fun and teamwork. Each year has a theme, this years theme is UNEARTHED. This season, the children will investigate the past as if they are team of archaeologists. In each of the early meetings, we will learn about the theme, draw and share ideas about what was learned and build their ideas with Legos and Lego robots. Towards the end of the program, the children will work on a single team build and will present their build to their friends and family at the last meeting.

This video is a nice overview of the FIRST programs. The Explore program uses regular Lego blocks and students are grouped by age so that the experienced can be tailored for their age group.

Jennifer Stander will be coaching the Lego League teams. She is an Electrical Engineer working in the field of Robotics and also an Adjunct Professor at WPI teaching electrical and computer engineering design courses. To help the students reach their goals, it is important to have additional volunteers to help at the meetings. Team assignments will start on December 6th. If you are interested in learning more, signing your child up and/or helping out at meetings, email Jennifer at legofirst@js.mxpark.com before this date.
