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 special message recognizing our incredible PTA for all of their hard work during Screen-Free Week and Teacher Appreciation Week, including community events that brought families together and thoughtful ways they supported our staff.
There are also many exciting highlights from around the school, including our upcoming student-written spring musical, the Scholastic Book Fair, and a celebration of National Poetry Month through “Put a Poem in Your Pocket Day.” You’ll also read about our students participating in the Berkshire County Special Olympics Track and Field Games and a memorable third grade field trip to Storrowtown Village.
The newsletter also celebrates our talented student performers from the Spring Musical and recognizes student teacher Sam Brady as she completes her work with our fourth grade students. In addition, you’ll find important upcoming dates and MCAS reminders for families.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership.
Sincerely,
Laurie Flower, Principal
