Rehoboth, MA – Palmer River Elementary School kicked off the fall season with a spirited Fall Spirit Week, bringing students and staff together to celebrate school pride. Students showed off their style with hoodies, football attire, flannels, and participated in a fun pumpkin vs. apple color match. In addition, the school is joining the community in supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Pink Out Fridays, encouraging students and staff to wear pink each week in honor of the cause.
The school’s Student Leadership Team, the 4th-grade Community Connectors, are leading a Socktober Drive in partnership with the East Bay Community Action Program. The initiative supports local shelters, and so far, we have collected over 1,200 pairs of socks. The drive continues through October 31st, and the class that contributes the most will be rewarded with extra recess to enjoy the crisp fall air.
October also marks the first birthday of Inchy the Bookworm, Palmer River’s book vending machine that rewards students for demonstrating the monthly schoolwide trait. Students are celebrating by creating bookmarks to be distributed with books throughout the year. Completed bookmarks are placed in the festive Magic Mailbox, and finalists from each grade level are currently awaiting the results of student voting.
In addition, Palmer River is grateful to the Barrows Family, owners of Johnson’s Roadside Market in Swansea, MA, for generously donating pumpkins—one for each student to take home. This thoughtful gift brings extra joy and excitement to the school community.
Palmer River Elementary continues to foster a sense of community, generosity, and school spirit as students and staff enjoy the beauty and magic of the fall season.
