Principal's Warrior Wrap-Up: 4/17/26

🌞Happy Vacation TPS Families! It was a fun-filled week this week between Earth Day Clean Up, Earth Day, the first track meet and Spirit Week! Let's not forget about the amazing weather - what a treat!

💭The District has partnered with the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission to understand the district's strengths and opportunities. We are aiming for 100% parent response rates to the survey so we can get as much information as possible to help us improve the district. Please take this survey and share your thoughts/experiences of the district. The survey will be left open through April 30th.

🍃A message from the STEAM Committee (check the Electronic Blue Folder for the design form):

TPS Families- it's the time of year again where we are diligently planning our Annual TPS STEAM Night! We are looking forward to welcoming families to celebrate all things STEAM on Thursday, June 11th between 5:00-7:00p.m. As part of our annual tradition, we are seeking out the assistance of our TPS students to help design a logo for this year's event. Your student is invited to create an original design to help represent this year's theme of "Summer Camp". Directions are included on the t-shirt contest paperwork and submissions will be accepted until Tuesday, April 28th, 2026. Be on the lookout for future information regarding our STEAM Night merch in the coming weeks! Thank you so much for your support and we look forward to your student's submissions!

👍Be sure to check out the Electronic Blue Folder for summer opportunities! We receive so many things to share and I am constantly updating it!

🌄Trails Update: There is a team of WPI students who are working on the trails on the TPS grounds. The team would really appreciate your feedback about the trails on THIS GOOGLE FORM.

A message from the PTA:

Hello from the TPS PTA!

We had a very busy April and are excited to share what we’ve been up to thanks to the support of our families & community:

Celebrating:

Community Reading Day (3/27): 19 community members joined us for a morning of reading and celebration. The event was fantastic and enjoyed by all. Check out the TPS Instagram for photos from the event!
Craft Night (4/16): We had a fun and festive craft night in the TPS Library. Guided by Mrs. Leftwich, whose grandchildren attend TPS. Members of the PTA and attendees of the event made fabric garlands, which will be on offer at next year’s Holiday Shop.
Glow Dance (4/10): The TPS gym was hopping! We had a fantastic turnout of students and their grown ups for a night of dance and special activities. Special thanks to DJ Milheezy for providing the tunes!
A Special Visit (4/10): Senator Durant visited the 8th grade for a special civics lesson. They learned more about how our government works and were able to ask questions to get real-time insights.
Spring Mini Grant Cycle: We had a tremendous amount of interest in our spring mini grant! The committee was delighted to approve all 15 requests! Items will begin arriving in classrooms in early May.
