Events Recap and Ongoing PRS PTO News

Cultural Enrichment: On January 18 and 19, the PRS PTO hosted The Sports Museum (presented by New Balance) for presentations to grades 3-5 entitled "Boston vs. Bullies.” The programming is part of an anti-bullying initiative, in collaboration with the Boston sports community, to stand strong against bullying. Through videos and activities, the award-winning educational program leverages the power and example of Boston sports to help stop bullying in our schools and in our community. Students were guided through an interactive workshop highlighting six vital lessons teaching them how to handle, prevent and think about bullying. This programming was scheduled and made possible by funding from the PRS PTO.

Kindergarten Math Olympics starts this week! This ten-week program provides math enrichment, challenge, and supports critical thinking skills. The contests are emailed out to parents on weeks that have five full school days (no vacations or holiday weeks). Parents will print out the papers, students complete them, and return them to school for our parent volunteers to correct. Students who complete a majority of the worksheets will earn a prize at the end of the school year. Registration and more information can be found here. 

The PRS Yearbook staff is collecting photos from school events all year long. Please send your photos to PRSyearbookstaff@gmail.com with a brief description of what the event/activity is (names/grades are helpful too). Thank you!
