Palmer River Elementary School

🏀⭐ **Impossible Shot Alert!** ⭐🏀 In every PE class, Mr. K selects a student who shows outstanding sportsmanship, a positive attitude, and a willingness to give their very best effort by attempting the *Impossible Shot*. Today, we celebrated our **very first winner** at Palmer River Elementary School—congratulations to **second grader Winston**! 🎉👏 What an exciting achievement and a great example of perseverance and positivity. Way to go, Winston! 💪🎯

This morning, our second graders boarded their very own version of The Polar Express for a truly unforgettable experience. Mrs. Mello, our conductor, led an engaging and interactive read-aloud of the classic story by Chris Van Allsburg, while Mrs. Grant had students singing along to a boisterous rendition of the “Hot Chocolate” song. What a joyful memory and a cherished tradition—full of wonder, music, and holiday magic—here at PRES! #EIS #WeAreDR #DrivingTowards2030

Big congratulations to our talented fourth grader, Morgan! Morgan had a beautiful piece featured in the Attleboro Art Museum Annual Members Exhibition. Her stunning pastel drawing of a peacock truly stood out—what an incredible accomplishment! We’re so proud of you, Morgan. Your future is bright! #EIS #DT2030 #WeAreDR

🇺🇸✨ A Morning of Honor & Pride ✨🇺🇸 This morning, four PRES students proudly shared their original writing at National Wreaths Across America Day, held at the Rehoboth Village Cemetery and Redway Plain. Our third graders read heartfelt poems, and our fourth graders shared powerful essays reflecting on what makes veterans true heroes. Thank you to Jaime Papineau and Poppy’s crew for including us in this moving tribute. It was truly an honor to be part of such a meaningful day of remembrance and gratitude. ❤️🤍💙 #WeAreDR #DT2030 #EIS

A huge thank you to our incredible PTSA for another magical Gingerbread Shoppe! Each year, our amazing PTSA and parent volunteers transform this tradition into something truly special. They guide our students as they thoughtfully choose little gifts and trinkets to show appreciation for the people they love—and the joy on our students’ faces says it all. We are so grateful for the time, care, and heart that goes into making this event happen year after year, creating memories our students will cherish. Thank you, PTSA, for filling our school with kindness, generosity, and cheer! #WeAreDR

✨Get Ready for December Spirit Week! ✨

We’re excited to share our December Spirit Week flyer with all of you! Each day is filled with festive fun, school spirit, and plenty of cheer to help us celebrate the season together.

Take a look at the flyer to see each day’s theme and start planning your outfits! We can’t wait to see our students and staff join in on the excitement. 💚🐝

This week, we celebrated students who have been shining examples of our November Monthly Mindset — Thankful. These students were nominated by their teachers for consistently showing gratitude, kindness, and appreciation for others throughout the month.

Their actions—big and small—help create a warm, caring, and connected school community. We are so proud of each of them! 💚🐝

We look forward to continuing to celebrate additional students nominated in the coming days.

Thank you to our amazing students for reminding us what it means to be truly thankful.

We’re proud to celebrate our ongoing partnership with Special Olympics and the Unified Schools Program! 💚💛 Today, the Beckwith Believers joined us for an afternoon of connection, teamwork, and fun. Our students spent time getting to know one another through icebreaker games, lots of laughter, and plenty of cheering. We wrapped things up with a friendly round of indoor bocce, and wow, did our athletes shine! We had an absolute blast and can’t wait for our next Unified event. Partnerships like this make our community stronger, more inclusive, and endlessly inspiring.

The competition was fierce, the stakes were high, and the bragging rights were VERY real… but Mrs. Wright’s students emerged victorious in the ultimate Sight-Word Rock, Paper, Scissors Battle this afternoon! Who knew spelling sight words could feel like the championship round of an indoor rainy-day Olympics? Such a fun (and surprisingly intense!) way to learn and stay entertained on a gloomy afternoon!

Thank you to our community and our staff for supporting every learner and helping our students grow with confidence. #WeAreDR #EIS #DT2030
