News from Principal Lamothe

Once again it was a busy week here at PRS filled with education activities that supported all our students.

• Our 5th-grade students had a very special program through the North River and South River Collaborative. This morning the students were able to learn about how Hingham's drinking water is protected, how important the water cycle is, and ways to preserve our water. Thanks to all the wonderful parent volunteers, the students were able to travel around the cafe to learn about these important lessons in small groups. The stations were a hit!!! It was educational and a great way to spend the morning!
• Our Kindergarten students had a visit from the Acton Museum with a presentation on Bubbles. Students got to play and learn about bubbles and had a fun time while learning.
• We had our annual Fire Inspection walkthrough and we passed inspection so that was nice to hear and as a family I thought that you would be excited about this as well.
  

Have an enjoyable weekend and welcome to May!!

LOOKING FOR AFTERSCHOOL CARE?

Kids in Action (KIA) Before and After-School Programs are for Hingham students in grades K-5. Our curriculum focuses on social and emotional development with support in academic skills through play and guidance.https://hinghamschools.org/academic-programs/kids-in-action9/

FREE LUNCH FOR ALL - This year, due to Federal Assistance, lunch will be served free of charge. This year, there will also be a breakfast program ( also peanut/tree nut free) for students who wish to partake in that. There will be one “grab and go breakfast” offering daily.

VOLUNTEERS - We are happy to have parent volunteers in our school again! As we enter a new school year, all volunteers in the schools (classroom volunteers, field trip chaperones, etc.) will require a new CORI check. Forms can be found in the main office or here
