Willett Families,

It is hard to believe this is the last full week of school. Our entire community—students, parents, and teachers alike—have accomplished so much this year, and we couldn’t be more proud of the incredible growth and dedication we’ve seen from everyone.

Please join us on Monday, June 1t6h for the PTO End of the Year Celebration

As a reminder, our last day for students in Grades 1-4 is Friday, June 20th and is a half day for students. In observance of Juneteenth, there is no school on Thursday, June 19th.

We are putting out a last call for library books. They need to be returned to the library

Mr. Jeffrey Cateon, Principal

Willet Garden/Title I Night

Third grade students were excited to have Mr. Legg from the Attleboro Industrial Museum come in to teach them about the history of Attleboro. He brought in some interesting artifacts that students observed. They used clues to figure out what these objects may have been used for in the past. We are so thankful for him taking the time to teach our students this week!

Be a part of history right here in Attleboro!  The Attleboro Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) Monument Committee is building a beautiful and historic monument in Capron Park.  The monument is for servicemembers and their families to recognize, remember, and reflect on the nation's longest and still ongoing war.  The monument will be erected this fall, and the committee needs your help to raise awareness and donations for this monument.  In order for it to become a reality, the committee must raise $100,000.    We are over halfway there.  

Interestingly, there was a similar fundraising effort to save the USS Constitution from being demolished.  Students across the Commonwealth donated pennies to help restore this historic vessel.  We are asking students, parents, and guardians to make any donation they are able to make.  We hope to see many APS staff and students at the monument dedication this fall. 

The GWOT monument is full of symbolism.  The GWOT began after 9-11-01.  The monument is 9 feet tall and 11 feet wide.  There were three impact sites - NYC, Washington DC, and Shanksville PA - and there are three granite panels.  

Thank you for helping us create living history here in our beautiful city.

Be on the lookout for the Attleboro Public Library Community Read Passport coming home in your child’s backpack. Students can use these passports to collect stamps at the various community reading events held throughout the school year. Once the passports are filled, they can bring them to school or to the public library to receive special recognition at the summer reading kick-off in June. All events will be listed on the calendar at attleborolibrary.org.
