Potter Road's Week at a Glance

This past weekend Potter Road hosted its first family coffee hour. The coffee hour provided families the opportunity to connect, talk, play, and share while drinking coffee and snacking on delicious treats! We are thankful to the families who attended and look forward to future events.

A reminder that we have a short week. School will be in session on Monday, November 25th and Tuesday, November 26th. There is no school November 27th-29th in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. I hope the time away affords our families the time with loved ones.

December 5th will bring a beloved event at Potter Road. Our annual Family Literacy Night will take place from 6:00-7:30 p.m. Families are invited to shop at the Scholastic Book Fair, listen to a read aloud, play some literacy games, and enjoy a sweet treat! We hope that to see our families there!

Lastly, the colder temperatures are upon us! We ask that all students wear the appropriate cold weather clothing to school. We do go outside year round for recess (weather permitting).

Warm Regards,

Mrs. Cyr

Holiday Helping Hands

The Potter Road School is partnering with a local organization to support school aged students who are in the care and custody of the Department of Children and Families. This organization directly supports students and families in Framingham.

From December 2nd-11th, the Potter Road School will be collecting small, stocking stuffer type items for students in need. Last year we collected over 800 items for local families.

Upon our return from Thanksgiving break, we will start collecting the items that are listed in the graphic below. We thank you in advance for your support!

Book Fair and Cookies and Cocoa Night: Volunteers Needed

We need YOUR help to make our Book Fair and Cookies & Cocoa Literacy Night unforgettable!

These events can’t run without amazing volunteers like you! Whether it’s helping set up, assisting students picking out books, or serving cocoa and cookies at Literacy Night, we have a role for everyone!

Let’s come together to create a magical experience for our students and community. Thank you for supporting literacy, learning, and love of books!
