So close!

It was a pleasure it was to attend this week's Strings, Chorus, and Band Concert! The students had a wonderful performance and I can't credit the teachers (Mrs. Haynes, Mrs. LeMay, and Ms. Marso) enough. Highlights included the strings' rendition of "Eleanor Rigby", the chorus' rendition of "Lean on Me", and the band performing "Star Wars." At the opening, I shared that I hoped the audience could see the joy in our young musicians as they performed and everyone in the auditorium did in fact see it. 

As we wind down the year (someone said 12 days), I want to direct everyone's attention to our "Lost and Found." We've seen a gentle accumulation of clothing since April break. Please encourage your student(s) to take a trip down and look for lost items. You are always welcome to swing by at arrival or after dismissal as well. We will donate any remaining items once the last day of school is over. Please make sure you only take what belongs to your family. 

STEAM Night is coming! We are excited for families to join us for our upcoming STEAM Night 2024, next Thursday, June 6th, from 5:30p.m.-7:30p.m. Some of the highlights of the evening include featured student work throughout the school, finished projects from our "Stop and STEAM Day" collaborations across grade levels, community members, food trucks (yum!), and our fantastic raffle baskets. Please keep in mind, that raffle baskets are cash only, please! We can't wait to see you there! 

Our second annual 5th grade K'Nex Challenge was a success today as fifth graders teamed with engineers from Thermo-Fisher Scientific in completing a challenge of designing a device to clean and contain oil from a freshwater oil spill on the Elwha River, located in Washington state. They then built, presented, and discussed their process with the team from Thermo Fisher. It was a great day! 

The cafeteria has asked me to share with families that for the last few weeks of school, each school will post their own alternate meal, to use up what we have for inventory in their individual freezers. At TPS, next week's alternate meals are as follows: 

Monday - Bagel Meal
Tuesday - Chicken Patty on Bun
Wednesday - Pizza
Thursday - Hamburger on Bun
Friday - Cereal Meal

16 days left!

As we roll into the final 16 days of school there, are many activities and appointments. This is when it is most important to stay on top of our procedures. Please make sure you are updating School Dismissal Manager with any changes before 1:00 daily. 



This week grades K-4 went on a field trip to see Ada Twist, Scientist & Friends at the Hanover Theatre. The musical is based on the books Rosie Revere, Engineer; Iggy Peck, Architect; and Ada Twist Scientist by Andrew Beaty. It also ties in nicely with our STEAM school as a celebration and a great shared community experience. Judging by the students' reports and the joyous pictures, fun was had by all! 



Congratulations to our 5th - 8th Track team! Both boys and girls brought home the hardware in the district meet this year. We had several wonderful individual performances but they won this as a team. TPS - 
District Champs!

Speaking of track, a note from one of our former runners: 
"Dear TPS families,
Summer is just around the corner, and we would love for you to join us for our 3rd annual, 4-week running clinic from June 18th through July 12th. It will occur on the backfield at TPS 1-2 times a week. There is no charge, and children of all abilities who are rising from 1st through 6th grades are welcome, even if you can't make it to all of our sessions. We hope you can join us!"

Save the date! Field Day 2024 is coming! Thank you to Mrs. McDonald and the PTA! We are looking forward to another EPIC field day to close out the school year on June 12th. Details can be found in the electronic folder. We are looking for volunteers. If you'd like to join us you can sign up here

May 17th

As we begin to wind down the year, I have seen some gifts rolling in for staff. I think I speak for everyone in the building when I write that we love being thought of. My personal favorite is the kid-made cards and items. I bring it up because we are technically municipal employees. Conflict of Interest Law states that we cannot accept gifts or gratuities valued at $50 or more. A number of smaller gifts together worth $50 or more may also violate this law. I wanted to make sure everyone was aware and avoid staff needing to have awkward conversations or complete additional paperwork due to gifts. 

Looking ahead to next year, we are already thinking about our Lego League team. See the following information courtesy of our coach Jen Stander:
"The FIRST Lego League Challenge program is being run for students entering grades 5th through 8th
this coming fall. It introduces kids to STEM using legos and lego robotics. The program focuses on creativity, fun and teamwork. Each year there is a theme. This year's theme is SUBMERGED, which focuses on the ocean. The program is multi-faceted and has three main components: the Robot Challenge, the Innovation Project and demonstration of FIRST Core values.
In the FIRST Lego League Challenge program the kids will:
  • Build and program Lego Spike Prime robots to complete autonomous missions.
  • Select a real-world problem related to the yearly theme, do research on it, design a solution to the problem, prototype the solution and create a presentation. 
  • At the end of the program they will attend a local tournament, where they will present the research project and compete with other teams on the robot missions. 
Below is a great video that shows a sampling of the robots, projects and core values of the program. 
The program is not just about building and programming robots although it is a significant part. The team benefits when the members have a diverse set of skills and interests. The project component draws heavily on being creative and artistic. Teamwork relies on good communication and leadership. The team needs a variety of talents to be successful. 
The program runs two days a week from after school to 5:00 starting the first week in September to mid December. The program cost is a $160 which includes registration, tournament fees, tee shirts, project materials, incentive prizes and snacks. If this poses a financial hardship let me know, the fee can be waived or reduced. 
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 design courses. To help the students reach their goals, it is important to have additional volunteers to help at the meetings. If you are interested in registering your child for the program and/or volunteering, feel free to email Jennifer at legofirst@js.mxpark.com
Team selection will be done at the end of June, if your child wishes to participate please let her know by June 14th."

A note from the Nurse's Office: 
TPS will be conducting the annual
Postural Screening for grades 5-8 during gym classes the week of 5/28-5/31. If a make-up day is required on any screening day, the postural screening will be held in gym class the following week. 
The purpose of this screening is to detect early signs of possible spinal problems in children. It is not a diagnostic service but a program to identify young people who should have a further medical evaluation. If your child has any unusual findings, a notice will be sent home asking you to bring your child to a physician as a precaution. If nothing unusual is found, you will not be contacted.
Preparation: Students may wear a two-piece swimsuit or halter top/sports bra underneath their regular clothing on the day of the screening. This type of clothing permits more accurate observation of the back. 
Opt-Out of the Screening Program: If you wish to exclude your child from the postural screening, please provide documentation that your child was screened by their physician and either complete the note linked here stating you wish to have your child opt out of the screening or email karina_abbascia@wrsd.net

In Appreciation

How do you appreciate the appreciators? Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate our wonderful staff the week! The PTA outdid themselves and it felt like there were volunteers coming and going every day this week. Meals, coffee, supplies, and scratchies. This week had it all. I also wanted to take a minute to recognize our wonderful staff. It made sense to me that this week the superintendent joined us for a staff meeting to recognize a few of our "Peak Performers". I feel very lucky to work with this dedicated group of professionals. They come in every day to engage our students in learning while also accomplishing a million other things they are required to do. And yet, they do it with a smile on their face and kindness in their hearts. This is a special team. 

While we are appreciating people, last week's communication got a little busy and I forgot to thank the wonderful volunteers led by Ms. Santello who did our spring cleanup in the Bengrahzi courtyard. Thank you to the Babyak/Sibbald family, the Oles family, and the Barabas family who are our regulars when it comes to this project. I'd also like to thank Christine, Xavier, Claire, Susie and Emily! Special shout out to the Oles family that came back this week to repair our outdoor stage!

Updates!

A message from the PTA:
We are in our Appreciation Era
The staff appreciation committee has been hard at work planning a week filled with special events and activities to celebrate our TPS staff. From small gestures of appreciation to food events and prizes, we hope to show them all just how much they mean to us.
Want a sneak peek at what we have in store for our fabulous staff? Watch this video HERE!
We still have a few opportunities for volunteers to help ensure the week goes off without a hitch. 
Click HERE to lend a hand or email TPSprincetonPTA@gmail.com with questions.

You may have received a notice from the library and myself this week regarding overdue books. Don't worry, we'll work with you. Remember there are several ways to resolve your child's borrowing account: 
  • Return the book! (Best option and our favorite) 
  • If the book is lost or damaged, you can: 
    • order a new or gently used replacement 
    • pay the replacement cost listed on notice 
    • send your child with a non-perishable food item to be donated to a local food pantry
Remember: Our school library is entirely volunteer-run with NO book-buying budget. We are counting on those books coming home!

Attention parents of 5th through 7th graders: Monty Tech has informed us that registration is now open for their  Summer Camp.  Camp is for students who will be in Grades 6-8 next fall and reside in a Monty Tech sending district. Scholarships are available.
The camp weeks are as follows:
  • Week 1 - June 24-27th (optional Friday field trip to Apex Entertainment)
  • Week 2 - July 8-11th (optional Friday field trip to Apex Entertainment)

Updates and information!

Your student may or may not have come home talking about new cameras at school or the principal watching TV in the main office. These reports are partially correct. At the end of the last school year, the town of Princeton earmarked money for security updates to the building. We are tremendously thankful for all the support and care the town gives to us here. I knew there were plans to get started over the April break but was ecstatic to learn that it was also completed in that time. Staff now have "access control" to the building so we don't need external keys floating around and the doors can be locked all the time. The kids are right, we do have cameras but their primary purpose is to locate unsafe events, particularly for the Princeton Police Department.  This represents a huge step in keeping our building safe. 

It's with sadness, that I share the passing of long-time Princeton resident, Roger Vaughn. This is of particular note for TPS as he was the benefactor and originator of our endowment that we use to maintain PLTW and other STEAM initiatives in the building. One of our courtyards is named in honor of his wife Elsie. I had the privilege of meeting him last year as we toured the building. The endowment will live on but he will be missed greatly. 


Every week I write down the "Week Ahead" at the end of the blog. Given that the year is winding down, and there are so many things going on, I will start writing down everything to come. Any changes or additions will be highlighted to draw attention to it. The end of the school year is exciting and exhausting but there is much to celebrate! Remember, the last day of school is a half day on 6/18. 


A note from Mrs. DiFonso and the PBIS Committee: 
The PBIS Committee made up of TPS staff, meets monthly to focus on positive behaviors and ways to celebrate our students.  The committee is excited to share the latest initiative to celebrate our student Warriors. Each month, one student per grade level and one student chosen by the specialists receives the "Warrior of the Month" recognition! These are students who demonstrate how to be respectful, responsible, and ready to learn. We are proud of our TPS Warriors every day and are thrilled to be able to celebrate them in this way! 

A note from our STEAM Night Committee: 
"Congratulations to seventh grader, Lauren Jones, who was chosen as the winner of this year's STEAM Night 2024 t-shirt design contest! Students were encouraged to participate in a school-wide t-shirt design contest for our upcoming STEAM Night (happening on Thursday, June 6th from 5:30-7:30p.m.) and needed to incorporate this year's theme of "amusement park" into their design. TPS students then voted on the top twenty submissions and ultimately helped to choose our winning design. Please be on the lookout in the coming days for an opportunity to purchase a STEAM Night 2024 t-shirt, along with more information about the night's events! Congratulations again, Lauren!"

A note from Mrs. Santello regarding our rescheduled courtyard cleanup: 

Dear Thomas Prince Families and Friends,

Spring is almost here and we have a volunteer opportunity coming up! Please join us for a Spring Cleanup of the Bangrazi Courtyard! Wednesday, May 1 is our Bangrazi Courtyard Spring Cleanup and Set-up Date! (Open hours 3:25-6) Rain date is Thursday, May 9. Come help us clean up raised garden beds, check the trails, and do a few more weeding/removal jobs left from the fall so the courtyard is ready for Spring planting! Our incredible fall volunteers accomplished wonders, come join us next week!   Sign-up is optionally here -thank you! Snacks and coffee provided :)

VACATION!

We survived the first week of MCAS! Everyone did a wonderful job. The kids were really engaged with the test and many worked beyond their required time. The younger students were so respectful and quiet walking through the halls and trying to make sure the testers could focus. It's a relief to have this first round over. We will start the math testing on April 30th. 

After the long week of testing, the building needed to blow off some steam. This morning we had a whole school assembly (think pep rally) heading into the break. In a celebration of positive behavior and perseverance, we played a whole school version of "The Floor is Lava." Kids used their Tommy Tickets to enter a raffle to participate. Teams of students and staff worked together to see who could cross the lava the most quickly and had a ton of laughs in the process. Congratulations to the team of Hacket, Keough, Greg, Eliza, and Ari and who took home the trophy!

A note from our Pollinator Garden committee: 
Hello TPS Families,

This spring, we will be relocating our butterfly/pollinator garden built in memory of beloved TPS kindergarten teacher, Lisa Beaupre. Some of our 8th graders have already been working behind the scenes selecting and starting seeds for this new endeavor. This is in addition to the care and upkeep they accomplished this fall in the Elsie Vaughan Garden. 

We are kindly asking that parents please take a moment to complete the survey linked below regarding Lisa's new butterfly/pollinator garden, and let us know how you would like to see it used as part of our school and in the greater community. Any insights, interests, questions, or concerns not covered in the survey can be directed to me and/or Dot Odgren, and we will do our best to get back to you as soon as possible.

Our Crayons to Cradle drive has ended and I'd like to thank everyone who donated. Nick was hard at work last weekend with his team of volunteers counting and sorting the donations. An extra recess was on the line for the grade level with the most donations. The top three are listed below. Congratulations to the 8th grade that really came through! 

  • 4th grade - 42 articles
  • K came in second with 71 articles
  • 8 grade was the clear winner with a whopping 170 articles!!!
