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, our 5th grade students at Beckwith Middle School welcomed representatives from Bristol County Savings Bank to our school for an engaging financial literacy presentation!
Students learned important lessons about money, including saving, budgeting, and making smart financial decisions. It was a great opportunity for our students to begin building financial skills that will benefit them well beyond the classroom.
A special thank you to Bristol County Savings Bank for taking the time to visit BMS and provide this valuable learning experience for our 5th graders!

Falcons Fueling Families is here. 💚💛
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. 💚💛

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
At Dighton Elementary, our littlest learners in PreK have been busy having fun and learning! 🍎🍂💚💛
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! 🦅🍁

As we head into the end of our first month of school, the hallways at Palmer River Elementary School have truly come to life!
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.

🔵 International Dot Day at Dighton Elementary School.! 🟡
On September 15, Dighton Elementary School celebrated International Dot Day, a special day dedicated to creativity, community, and self-expression, inspired by The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds.
Last week, our wonderful librarian, Mrs. Gustafson, shared The Dot with each class and encouraged every student in grades K–4 to “make their mark” by creating a unique dot that reflects what makes them special.
Mrs. Gustafson then brought all of the students’ dots together into one beautiful, colorful display, showing how our individual creativity can come together to create something truly inspiring. What a wonderful reminder of the power of collaboration, individuality, and community!
🎨 A special thank-you to DRRHS art teacher Alexa Hamelin for collaborating on the drawing of Vashti and her magic paintbrush featured in the display.
Every dot matters. Every student matters. Together, we make our mark! 💚💛

Our Alumni Spotlight this month features Eliana Raposa, Dighton-Rehoboth Class of 2022, who recently earned her master’s degree in Statistics from UMass Amherst and landed her dream job as a Pro Player Analyst for the Kansas City Royals.
After D-R, Eliana attended St. Thomas Aquinas College, earning her B.S. in Mathematics with a concentration in Actuarial Science and a minor in Economics. She graduated summa cum laude in just three years while also excelling as a collegiate softball player. She continued her education and softball career at UMass Amherst, where she earned her master’s degree.
Looking Back…
“The most impactful part of my time at Dighton-Rehoboth was Coach Madsen. She served as a role model and mentor that was a constant force of encouragement and wisdom. In terms of classes, D-R offered me the ability to take a rigorous course load, including enrolling in a virtual high school class, which through testing allowed me to enter college having already earned 33 credits, giving me the opportunity to graduate with my bachelors degree a year early.”
Advice to a D-R Student…
“My advice to current D-R students would be to take advantage of every opportunity you have and to get involved. It helps you to become more well-rounded and teaches you how to work and interact with a group of people that you may not have thought to before. You learn how to manage your time better, a skill that will be a great benefit in the future, and most importantly allows you to have fun and do something that you are interested in outside of academics.”
Eliana’s internships—including working in player development with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod League—helped her discover her passion for working in sports and ultimately helped lead her to her dream career in Major League Baseball.

Earlier this week, Palmer River Elementary School fourth graders had the opportunity to hear an important message about bullying prevention, internet safety, and making positive choices from Brian Rose, former Major League pitcher for the Boston Red Sox and a member of Bristol County District Attorney Tom Quinn’s Office.
Brian spoke with our students about what bullying looks like, what to do if you are being bullied or witness bullying, how to respond if you find yourself being the bully, and the importance of making safe choices both in person and online. Students also heard real-life examples and learned about the potential consequences of our choices.
The presentation, part of the Boston vs. Bullies program, uses the voices and experiences of professional New England athletes to help students understand that bullying can happen to anyone—and that we all have a role in creating a safe and supportive school community.
A big thank you to Brian Rose and DA Tom Quinn’s Office for helping us spread an important message:
Be kind. Speak up. Look out for one another.
Together, we can make PRES a place where ALL means ALL and every student feels safe, valued, and welcome.

Students at Dighton Elementary have been learning so much that sometimes our teachers need to mix in a much-needed dance break to keep the fun going!
Mrs. Fernandes does just that! When her students are absolutely rocking their learning, they get to take a “rock break,” so to speak. 🎸🎶
Mrs. Lima even joined in on the fun and put in a song request!
We love seeing our Falcons working hard, having fun, and finding joyful ways to celebrate learning at DES! 🦅💚💛
