Recently, Palmer River Elementary School held our annual Masked Reader event, which is always a favorite among students and staff! Throughout the week, a shark, llama, fish, frog, toad, and pigeon read stories aloud while students listened carefully for clues and tried to guess which staff members were behind the masks. The event brought lots of excitement, laughter, and school spirit to our building.

This fundraiser brought in almost $1,500 to help stock "Inchy," our book vending machine, with new books and popular titles for students to enjoy throughout the year.

A special thank you to Mrs. DiPalma, Ms. Larrivee, and Mrs. Sullivan for organizing this memorable event and for all they do to keep Inchy filled with engaging books for our students. Thank you as well to everyone who donated and supported this special event, and to the staff members who volunteered to participate as readers behind the masks!

Dighton Elementary Students in Grade 4 have been hard at work this semester with Mr. Badger and Ms. Farley bringing the DES Newspaper back to life!

This project highlights our commitment to the district’s strategic plan by fostering communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and authentic learning experiences that empower students to be engaged, future-ready learners.

Related arts classes, or "specials," are an essential part of a well-rounded education! At PRES, our students look forward to attending art, music, physical education, library, STEAM, and computer skills each week. These experiences give them the opportunity to explore their interests, discover new talents, and engage in learning beyond the traditional classroom.

Students thrive when they can learn in different environments and through different modalities. Whether they’re creating in art, moving in PE, coding in computer class, reading about faraway places in library, or exploring new ideas in STEAM, each setting supports unique ways of thinking and understanding. Related arts classes not only spark creativity and curiosity, but they also help students build confidence, collaboration skills, and a lifelong love of learning.
