A Snapshot of Learning

Posted

Great to Be Back! – Palmer River students received a heartfelt “welcome back” from their teachers and our Rehoboth Police Officers. Pictured Left, Sargent Rossi gives each student a ‘high five’ as they enter on their first day. We our ready for an AWESOME year!

Thank You- Thank You – Palmer River students were the lucky recipients of the Rachel Branagan Educational Grant. As Rachel was an avid reader, the foundation presented Palmer River with 5 award winning titles for our students to enjoy. In Rachel’s memory, the group seeks to “spark a life-long love of reading”. Pictured are Roc F., Taylor P. and Lexi F. displaying our new library materials.

She’s A Grand Ol’ Flag! - It has been very exciting to see our flagpole and flag replaced. We credit the vision of Boy Scout John Silvia who recognized the need to repair the old pole. Partnering with Veteran’s Service Officer, Jake Kramer, a ‘lightly used pole’ from another school was able to be dedicated in the same space. Thank you too to all of the unnamed helpers who supported in the efforts to beautify this area of our school. (It was a big job!) Your work on this project was an example of patriotism, patience and pride. We at Palmer River applaud all of your dedication- BRAVO!

Lessons in Savings- Third graders at PRES have been invited to participate in the “Saving Makes Cents” program offered by the Bristol County Savings Bank. Students are encouraged to set up a special account in which they only ‘deposit’ in an effort to help them learn how important it is to save for a “rainy day”. Students will be able to see the fruits of their labor in the spring when they receive their own passbook and become ‘valued Rehoboth bankers’. Representatives from the bank were on hand to explain all the ways the bank invests in our community. Pictured are Maddie C. and Tommy G. with Mr. McCarthy of B. C. S. B. Commercial Lending.

CAN you Believe it? – Palmer River fourth graders are already performing! The “PRES Enrichment Can Band” performed for our parents at our recent Curriculum Information Night. Students evidenced their ability to read rhythms and notation, ensemble skills and performance etiquette. Families enjoyed the “Can Can” by Jaques Offenbach and Bugler’s Holiday by Leroy Anderson. What a great introduction to our amazing music teacher -Kristie Grant.
