2025-2026 FRES Newsletter Archives
Dear Farmington River Families,
I’ve attached this week’s newsletter for you to review. Inside, you’ll find a message reflecting on a busy and productive April, along with a closer look at what makes our school community so special and an invitation to help spread the word about Farmington River through School Choice.
There are also many great highlights from around the school, including a visit from the Gateway Middle School Band, our Trimester 2 awards assembly, and a fun storytelling performance from Big Joe that had students fully engaged. You’ll also find updates on upcoming events like the Spring Concert and Book Fair, along with helpful MCAS reminders and tips for families.
The newsletter also features a variety of classroom and enrichment experiences, including art projects across grade levels, Art Club activities, and a sixth grade field trip to MASS MoCA where students explored the connection between technology and art.
As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership.
Sincerely,
Laurie Flower, Principal
