Miss Gilbert's art class worked together to create our collaborative Kindness mural! You can be the I in kind!
Today PSS was visited by CourtBloom. This is an organization, based here in Franklin that has the goal of introducing lifelong activities to members of the community. The focus today was on learning how to play tennis. The PSS students had a great time and really benefited from this visit. Lots of new skills were learned!
PSS students from grade 3 visited Franklin Hospital today to sing Christmas carols for the patients and staff. What a great way to celebrate the holiday season!
PSS participated in the Mix 94.1 canned food drive. As a school PSS students contributed over 1000 cans! Way to go PSS!
Because everyday counts, student attendance at school is incredibly important. In November, every grade level at PSS had a greater than 90% attendance rate. A special shoutout to Mrs. Gregg's class for having the highest attendance rate in school.
📚 October Reading Update! 🍁
Our school read an amazing 13,470 minutes in October! 🎉 Huge thanks to all of our readers who helped us grow our total.
As we head into break, don’t forget to read and return your November Reading Log once we’re back. Remember—you don’t need to have every object colored for your minutes to count. Every minute matters!
Let’s keep the momentum going! 💛📖
Every year Brenda Petelle and the Food Service Department are asked questions about preparing and cooking a turkey. Here a couple of things to consider....
Remember to give enough time to thaw a frozen turkey in the fridge, or else you'll be cooking it for an extra long time!
Check the temperature before you eat! 165 degrees is the goal.
If you or someone you know are in need of extra support this winter, please stop by the Winter Safety Event to be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church (206 Central St) this Wednesday between 3-5:30. Coordinated by RCORP and HealthFirst.

TIGER from Plymouth State University visited PSS today. The educational assembly focused on ways students can navigate the school day to place the focus on learning. To communicate this message to students the TIGER team used songs and stories.
🎃👻 Our classroom is buzzing with Halloween and Fall fun! Students earned special creative centers by showing amazing studio habits like following directions, caring for materials, and giving their best effort.
At our centers, they’re making costumes for mannequins, painting pumpkins to decorate for the Halloween parade, building spooky Haunted Houses, creating eerie drawings, and crafting play-doh monsters!
Creativity and good habits go hand in hand—so proud of their hard work and imagination! 🍁✨

Luckily the rain stopped so that PSS students could enjoy the Halloween parade. This year the ukulele club started the parade by playing "Monster Mash" as students lined up.
Great things are happening at PSS!
Fun in Title One today with reading "x-rays" with a flashlight. Students read words and sorted them into categories.
