Events Recap and Ongoing PTO News

Staff Appreciation end of school year lunch, held on Wednesday, June 1st, was a huge success!  PRS staff enjoyed a sit down lunch catered by Cedar Cafe, cupcakes and a raffle full of generous gift baskets.  Thank you to all our amazing staff and generous families who have contributed to our monthly events and make PRS such a special community to be part of.  Happy summer everyone!

1st PRS Salad Party: PRS had its 1st farm to table salad party last Friday with lettuce harvested from our very own PRS garden. 5th graders harvested and triple washed the lettuce on Wednesday with just under 20lbs of lettuce harvested. Then the lettuce was served to all PRS students during lunches and students were exited to try the fresh nutritious greens:) Thank you to PRS garden educator Janice McPhillips, Hingham Cultural Council and all the parent volunteers for helping make this a successful event! 

GSAA 5th Grade Photography:  Last Friday, 5th graders learned about the history of the camera and photography as an art form. After the presentation, the students chose an image from National Geographic magazine and created artwork in the style of Pencil vs. Camera artist, Ben Heine. 5th graders also got   the chance to use a Polaroid camera. Thank you to Holly Moriarty for the presentation and all the parent volunteers.

Introducing the Hingham Arts Alliance—A group of community members have launched the Hingham Arts Alliance (HAA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to being a voice of advocacy, awareness, and support for the arts throughout Hingham Public Schools and the broader community. HAA will raise awareness for all the amazing art coming out of Hingham, such as fine arts, music, drama, and industrial arts, from our youngest students to our senior citizens. We plan to organize HAA events that showcase Hingham’s artists and highlight arts events happening around town. Our fundraising efforts will go towards improving opportunities for the arts within HPS and the community. Learn more at www.hinghamartsalliance.org or follow us @hinghamartsalliance.
