On Thursday night at Palmer River Elementary School, our fourth graders proved they are ready for the next chapter as they took on Escape Elementary School, PRES's very own escape room experience!
Students worked together to solve challenges, crack clues, and complete their mission, demonstrating incredible teamwork, collaboration, problem solving, and perseverance along the way. It was wonderful to see our students supporting one another and having so much fun! A special thank you to our PTSA for providing dinner and treats for everyone and to our dedicated fourth grade teachers for planning such creative and engaging challenges that made the evening so memorable.
As we prepare to send this amazing group of students on to Beckwith Middle School, we couldn't be prouder of all they have accomplished. Their kindness, determination, leadership, and positive spirit have made a lasting impact on our school community. We will miss them dearly, but we know they are destined for bright futures and great things ahead.
Congratulations, Fourth Grade! We can't wait to see all that you accomplish. 💚💛

Last Friday, Dighton Elementary School held its annual Fun Run, and what an incredible day it was! Students enjoyed a day filled with fun, excitement, and plenty of water activities to help keep everyone cool. One of the highlights of the event was when Mrs. Lima was dunked by the top fundraising student from each grade level, much to the delight of the crowd. Students also celebrated their hard work with lollipops and lots of smiles. The fun isn't over yet—this week, Mr. Girouard will be taped to the wall and challenged to stay there overnight as another exciting reward for our students!
A huge thank you goes out to our amazing PTO for organizing this event and to Booster for helping make it another memorable experience for our school community. Most importantly, thank you to every family, friend, and community member who donated and supported our students. Because of your generosity, we raised $35,000 that will be used to support future student experiences, enrichment opportunities, and field trips.
This event is a wonderful example of our district's DRiving Toward 2030 strategic plan in action. Through strong partnerships between families, staff, students, and the community, we are creating meaningful opportunities that enhance student engagement, build school pride, and foster a sense of belonging. The Fun Run not only promotes health and wellness but also demonstrates the power of collaboration and community investment in providing memorable learning experiences for all students.
Thank you for helping make Dighton Elementary a place where students can learn, grow, and create lasting memories together. #WeAreDR #EIS #DT2030 🦅💚💛

A heartfelt thank you also goes to Mrs. Maguy for stepping up to coordinate this tremendous event and to the many staff members who arrived early, worked behind the scenes, and gave their time and energy to set up games, stations, and activities.
Field Day is truly a community effort, and we are so thankful for everyone who helped create such a memorable experience for our students. Your kindness, generosity, and dedication are what make Palmer River Elementary such a special place to learn, grow, and belong.

Last Thursday, our Grade 4 students from Dighton Elementary School enjoyed their annual end of the year class trip to historic Fenway Park. The trip coincided with STEM Day, giving students the opportunity to participate in a variety of hands-on learning experiences throughout the ballpark. From exploring space science and robotics to building with LEGO® materials and engaging in interactive engineering activities, students experienced STEM learning in exciting and meaningful ways.
After the STEM activities, students stayed to watch the Red Sox game. While the Red Sox came up short on the scoreboard, the experience was a memorable one for all who attended. The day provided students with opportunities to learn, collaborate, problem-solve, and explore potential future career pathways in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
This experience directly supports the Driving Towards 2030 Strategic Plan by advancing Student Success and Achievement through engaging, real-world learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom. It also aligns with Student and Staff Well-Being and Belonging by creating positive shared experiences that build school community and foster student engagement. Through hands-on STEM exploration, students were encouraged to think critically, collaborate with peers, and connect classroom learning to authentic experiences.
A special thank you to everyone who helped make this annual tradition possible. It was truly a home run of a day for our Grade 4 students! ⚾💚💛 #WeAreDR #EIS #DT2030
This week at Palmer River Elementary School, we showcased our fourth-grade artists and performers with an incredible art show and concert! Students not only entertained the audience with their musical talents, but they also proudly displayed their art projects and their animal research projects in their classrooms for visitors to explore.
It was a wonderful evening celebrating our soon-to-be departing fourth-grade class and recognizing all of their hard work, creativity, and growth during their time at Palmer River Elementary School.
A special thank you to Mrs. Beaulieu, Ms. Grant, and the entire fourth-grade team for their dedication and effort in preparing our students for such a memorable event. We are so proud of our fourth graders and all they have accomplished!

Peter even shared that we were one of the best audiences he has ever had, which made our students feel incredibly proud!
A huge thank you to our amazing Dighton PTO for making this special visit possible! As an added surprise, the PTO also selected and purchased almost five hundred books so that every DES student will receive a brand-new book by the author to launch their summer reading adventures.
Be sure to visit Peter H. Reynolds’ bookstore, The Blue Bunny, in Dedham this summer and share the secret password for a special gift!
It was truly a memorable day filled with inspiration, imagination, and joy for reading!

From hearing directly from our Early College students and teachers, to learning about our expanding Career & Technical Education programs in Culinary Arts/Hospitality and Criminal Justice/Public Safety, and touring elementary classrooms filled with engaging, joyful learning experiences, the visit highlighted the powerful work happening across our district to prepare every learner for success.
Thank you to our local elected officials, students, staff, and community members who helped showcase what makes #WeAreDR so special. 🚀
