Principal's Warrior Wrap-Up: 9/18/26

🍎It was so nice to see so many of you at Open House! I hope you enjoyed having the time to meet your child's teacher and to see their classroom!

⚽👟🏈We had an exciting week in TPS sports this week! Our first ever Lady Warriors soccer team started their season on Monday! The team is coached by Renee Nelson and our home games are played at Krashes Field. Be sure to check out the schedule on the TPS calendar and come cheer them on! The TPS Cross Country team also had their first meet yesterday! Coached by Jonnie Coutu, the team is already making waves in the cross country world! Eight of our middle school boys are playing for the Wachusett District Middle School Football Team and they started their season yesterday with a win! There is so much to be excited for in middle school sports this fall!

🐾Meet Roxy, our school’s certified therapy dog! Roxy is a 3-year-old English Labrador Retriever who will be visiting our school periodically to provide comfort, encouragement, and a little extra joy throughout the school day. Her handler is Mrs. Kristoff, our school’s MTSS Intervention Teacher. Roxy is a certified therapy dog through Therapy Dogs United. You can spot her wearing a blue vest.

Roxy is a friendly and loving pup who enjoys swimming, cuddling, playing, and of course, treats! During her visits, students may have opportunities to spend some time with Roxy as part of our school’s efforts to support student well-being and create positive connections at school. Roxy Time will also be available for purchase through the Prince Plaza.

If you have any information that we should be aware of regarding your child and Roxy, please feel free to reach out to the school nurse at Jocelyn_Martin@wrsd.net.

We are so excited to have Roxy as part of our school community and look forward to sharing some special moments with our students!
