On Tuesday at Palmer River Elementary School, we had a special visit from Propane Plus's very own Propane Man!
Each year, our students look forward to participating in the annual Propane Plus coloring contest for a chance to win pumpkins from Araujo Farms in Dighton! Propane Man always brings plenty of excitement as he helps us kick off the contest, and this year was no exception!
Our students loved his visit, and we can't wait to see all of their colorful and creative entries!
A big thank you to Propane Plus and Araujo Farms for continuing this fun fall tradition with our PRES Falcons!

💚💛 We LOVE our community partnerships at Dighton Elementary School! 🚓🚒🚌
Over the past few days, our Falcons have had some amazing opportunities to learn from our community heroes!
A huge thank you to the Dighton Police Department and Bloom's Bus Company for teaching our students about bus safety and practicing bus evacuations to help keep everyone safe! 🚌
The fun and learning continue as we welcome the Dighton Fire Department to DES to teach our PreK and Grade 1 students all about fire safety! 🔥🚒
One of our favorite parts? When our firefighters join in the fun and dance along to Cookie Monster's Fire Safety Song! 🍪
We are so fortunate to have such wonderful community partners who take time out of their busy days to connect with our students, teach important life lessons, and make learning fun and memorable.
Thank you, DPD, DFD, and Bloom's Bus Company, for always showing up for our Falcons! We love having you at DES and appreciate everything you do for our students and community! 💚💛

Our PreK and Kindergarten students had a special visit from Rehoboth Fire Department Lt. T.J. Sarrazin, who taught them about fire safety and gave them a chance to check out the fire truck up close. Students even received their own fire hats to take home, which was definitely a highlight!
Fire safety education continued with our third graders during Computer Skills this week! Lt. Randy Larrivee joined Mr. Pearse’s classes, where students had fun playing interactive fire safety games while learning important safety tips. Lt. Larrivee also shared information about an upcoming fire safety contest and encouraged students to participate.
A huge thank you to Lt. Sarrazin, Lt. Larrivee, and the Rehoboth Fire Department for spending time with our students during Fire Safety Month. We are so thankful for your continued partnership and for helping our Falcons learn how to keep themselves and others safe!

Mystery, She Wrote… in Mrs. C’s Room! 🔍🎩
A haunting hat. A room full of suspects. Eight reading detectives ready to crack the case!
This week, Mrs. C’s 4th grade RTI students put their detective skills to the test in The Mystery of the Haunting Hat! Armed with highlighters and sharp thinking, students searched passages for evidence, tackled vocabulary puzzles, and filled in missing letters to unlock clues. Each discovery brought them closer to eliminating suspects and solving the mystery!
As students unlocked clues, they also unlocked their own imaginations and discovered the power of their reading and reasoning skills! They strengthened their fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and ability to make inferences while building confidence in their ideas.
Teamwork and lively discussions made this reading adventure full of suspense — because in Mrs. C’s room, every word could be a clue! 🔎✨

We are thrilled to share that Palmer River Elementary School received a grant through the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to bring Ignite Reading Tutoring to our students!
Ignite provides students with one-to-one, individualized reading instruction with a trained tutor for just 15 minutes a day, five days a week. Each session is targeted to help students strengthen foundational reading skills and build confidence.
This year, thirty-four of our first graders are participating, and we are so excited to add another great tool to our literacy toolbox!
A huge thank you to DESE for investing in our students and supporting our commitment to making sure that when it comes to literacy at PRES, ALL really does mean ALL!

Today, we unveiled a new food pantry created to support Dighton-Rehoboth families with respect, dignity, and care, because our schools are about more than educating students. They’re about supporting the communities we serve.
Superintendent Bill Runey shared that if we are serious about igniting curiosity, shaping the future, and empowering students, we also have to recognize that students do their best when they are also supported at home. A day without school should not have to be a day without food.
This vision became action today, thanks to an incredible group of community partners: Sterling Container Sales & Rentals, Whitsons Culinary Group, Hannaford, Blounts Fine Foods, and Signs by Tomorrow. A special connection makes this effort even more meaningful: Sterling Container Sales owner Lindsay Bates is a Dighton-Rehoboth graduate, bringing this gift back home to the community that helped shape her.
We’re grateful to our supporters, school leaders, and legislative officials who joined us for today’s ribbon cutting - and especially to Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent, Michele Blackburn, for bringing all the pieces together.
We Are DR. And this is one more way we’re living that promise. 💚💛
To receive support from the Pantry or to donate, email Pantry@drregional.org.

Dighton Middle School sixth graders have been busy conducting labs, completing lab reports, and learning how to be scientists. Today, students were busy wrapping up their lab reports. During their lab, students were given a mixture of materials. They then had to separate the materials to determine their mass and density. #WeAreAllFalcons #WeAreDR #DT2030 #EIS
Students are learning how to start their day with a Morning Meeting, where they practice greeting one another and saying “HI” to all of their friends. They have also been exploring measurement, apples, and all things fall through fun, hands-on, interactive lessons.
We love seeing our youngest Falcons learning, exploring, and building friendships together! 🦅🍁

From colorful student work and creative displays to thoughtful bulletin boards, every wall tells a story about the learning, creativity, and joy happening inside our classrooms. Our hallways are becoming a beautiful reflection of the students who fill them each day and the incredible work of our teachers and staff.
These displays are so much more than decorations. They celebrate who we are as a school community and give our students a chance to see their learning, ideas, and accomplishments proudly displayed throughout the building.
We are so proud of the welcoming, joyful, and inspiring environment our PRES community creates for our students each and every day.
