The Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School Best Buddies Chapter held their first event, a Halloween Party. Students and staff dressed in costumes, enjoyed snacks, games and socializing. Any students interested in joining the Best Buddies should contact Mrs. Landry.
The next scheduled event is a Cookie Exchange Party which will be in November.
Superintendent Runey and the DRRSD School Committee want to express their pride in and appreciation to Palmer River second grader, Liana Guite, who won $5000 for her school through the Feinstein Foundation Golden Ticket program! In addition, the foundation made a $500 donation in Liana’s name to the charity of her choice, and she chose Palmer River as well. This was a true #WeAreDR moment as she presented the check at the School Committee meeting.
Thank you to the Rehoboth Police Department for their ongoing efforts to keep us safe! #WeAreDR!

Tonight we had the privilege of showing off our outstanding CTE staff and students to our community members who sit on our advisory boards. We are very fortunate to have such a passionate staff, and we are just as lucky to have generous experts in their fields. Together, we are DR! #WeAreDR 💚💛
October is National Principals Month. We know the principalship is one of the critical roles in making our schools the best that they can be.

Recently, the Dighton-Rehoboth Pop Warner teams joined hands with the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School Falcons at their Friday night game. This is an ongoing tradition called Pop Warner Night that is a blast for all who are involved. To change things up a bit and add even more excitement for the younger Falcon cheerleaders, the DRRHS cheerleaders created a two day fundraiser out of the event.
Thank you to all the participants!!
We Are DR!
We are launching “Alerts” in Apptegy tomorrow. Families & staff should check today’s DR Dispatch email.
A true #WeAreDR moment! Good deeds happen in our schools every day, but now and then, we need to publicly celebrate them! Last week when Superintendent Runey was visiting classrooms, he mistakenly dropped $20 when he pulled his phone out of his pocket to take some photos of our great teachers in action. Later that morning, Aiden B. found the money and turned it into his teacher. We thank Aiden for being a great example of belonging and selflessness, and we salute the BMS staff for fostering this type of culture.

District launches We Are DRiven to Serve Community Service Campaign
The Dighton Rehoboth Regional School District lives by the mantra that We Are DR and the Superintendent wants to take that mindset out into both DR communities. To accomplish this, he is launching the “We Are DRiven to Serve“ initiative where clubs, teams, and other student organizations will be recognized for their service to the residents of either Dighton or Rehoboth.
“These two towns have supported our students and staff financially for so many years that it is time for us to pay it forward and give back to our residents,” Superintendent Bill Runey stated. “Community service is a win/win situation. Our students will benefit just as much as the people who are the recipients of their service. The world needs more kindness, and it’s a great life lesson for students of any age.” Runey said that the service can take many forms. “Depending on the age group, there are many creative ways to serve those in need in our community. Elementary students might choose to make holiday cards for Dighton’s Council on Aging. Middle school students might arrange a food drive to benefit the Rehoboth Food Pantry. High school students might volunteer for a beautification project in town. A sports team might host a clinic for a youth league. The possibilities are endless, and the payoff is priceless.”
Throughout the year, the groups who demonstrate a high level of commitment to service will be recognized as the Community Service Champions and will be presented with the “DR 10 Pounds of Gold” championship (pictured).
Student organizations can complete the form linked below to be considered. There also must be an accompanying cover letter. A sample cover letter is linked in the application.
Community members seeking to receive service should contact Michele D. Blackburn, mdblackburn@drregional.org. Not all requests will be honored, but we will do our best.
