Events Recap and Ongoing PTO News

PRS Spring Social: The PTO would like to thank all those who donated and attended the PRS Spring Social at the HCC. Because of the generosity of the PRS community, we raised $10,000!!  All the PTO funds raised go towards supporting our school, our kids, their teachers, and their classrooms. Huge thanks to our social chairs Danielle Criscuolo and Gable Clarke for organizing a fun and successful night out! Many thanks to all the parent volunteers who helped with the event. Thanks for all your support! 

Field Day: This past Friday the PRS PTO hosted a fun-filled return to our traditional one-day Spring PRS Field Day for Grades K-4. Each class enjoyed 14-16 different Field Day stations including all-time favorites Capture the Flag, Tug of War and Slip & Slide as well as new activities like Statue of Liberty, Giant Foosball and PRS Art with DJ dancing and ice cream treats. 

We want to say a huge thank you to all of our wonderful parent volunteers who helped make PRS Field Day 2021 a huge success! We also want to thank Mr. Lamothe, Mrs. Smith and the entire PRS School Community for their support with special recognition to physical education teacher Ms. Pagnini, art teacher Ms. Kelfer, Sherilyn with PRS Food Services and PRS custodial staff Jill and Lance. Every student received a commemorative PRS Field Day t-shirt along with many fun memories with their teachers and classmates.

Anyone with photos to share from this year’s event can email them to prsyearbookstaff@gmail.com. 

Kindergarten Gets Smart About Art - Last week K enjoyed three presentations on cave art, shapes in art, and Picasso! Be sure to check out their cave murals hanging in the halls!

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.
