Dear Peaslee Students, Families and Caregivers,
As we close out the second week of November, I want to highlight a few of the many events and happenings from this week!
Thursday night’s Music Informance was a showcase of student spirit and musical growth. Our fourth graders charmed the audience with their recorder selections, while the fifth-grade chorus and band delivered impressive debut performances. Their enthusiasm and talent filled the room, creating an inspiring and memorable atmosphere. It was the kind of evening that reminds us just how multitalented our students are and the incredible potential they have when they put their minds to it. We are so proud of the progress already made this year and are excited to hear how their music continues to evolve as the year unfolds. None of this would be possible without Mrs. Makara (band) and Mrs. Whalen (chorus,general music). Thank you for your incredible dedication to helping our students succeed!
We enjoyed a truly uplifting Kindness Day today, filled with joy, generosity, and connection. Students appreciated each other's smiley faces and shared acts of kindness with classmates, bus drivers, and staff. It was awesome to see the sea of yellow and kindness-themed T-shirts during this month’s Spirit Day yesterday—it was a bright and cheerful reminder of the positivity our students bring to school each day.
A heartfelt thank-you to all the families who donated to the Northborough Food Pantry Non-Perishable Food Drive and the Sneaker Drive led by Clara Reade. Your generosity made a meaningful difference and added to the spirit of giving across our school community. The kindness and compassion shown by our students and families filled our hallways—and lifted us all!
