September 20

Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,

Thank you for attending our Back to School Night. It’s been a great start to the school year, and we’re pleased to see students settling into their routines during these first few weeks. Your presence and engagement showed the strong partnership between home and school, which is key to ensuring our students' success. We appreciate the time you took to connect with our teachers and learn more about the year ahead. Your support makes a real difference, and we look forward to working together for a successful and productive school year.

Thank you for your support.

Mrs. Erhardt

PRMHS Principal

Trails & Sails is a free events series that takes place every September and showcases the amazing natural, historical, and cultural resources we are so lucky to have here in Essex County, Massachusetts, also known as the Essex National Heritage Area.

This year’s program will take place on September 14th – 29th and includes hundreds of free local events coordinated by our partner sites throughout the region including the Trustees, Essex County Greenbelt, Historic New England, National Park Service, historical societies, local museums, libraries, farms, conservation groups, and more!

You can view the full line-up here.

Congratulations to the middle school PAWS recipients! Great job, students!

The Middlesex County 4H Fife & Drum Corps teaches young people (ages 8-18) how to play the fife and drum and are looking to recruit new members, especially fifers and bass drummers, as our numbers were affected by the pandemic.

We offer weekly music lessons on Sunday afternoons at Bemis Hall in Lincoln, with a low participation fee of $40 per year. No prior musical experience is needed. Our youth-led 4H group, founded in 1972, continues New England's fife and drum tradition. As one of two parent volunteers, I can attest to the benefits of the program, which has greatly enriched my son's experience. Regular CORI checks are done on all adults who work in our program.
