Today was such a great day! 💙📚

There’s something so special about being at the school doors, giving high fives, saying good morning, and welcoming our students and families back to school! I started at Durfee then made my way to Tansey. ✋🏾😊

The smiles, the excitement, the nervousness, and even the sleepy faces reminded me exactly why our schools and our students are so important.

I’m so grateful I got to be there to start the school year with our students and staff. Here’s to a wonderful school year filled with learning, growth, friendships, and lots of reasons to smile!

Happy first day back! Let’s make it a great one! 🏫💙✋🏾

🎒✨ WELCOME BACK, FALL RIVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS! ✨🎒

Today marks the beginning of another exciting school year! To all of our students, families, teachers, staff, and administrators welcome back! 💙📚

I hope this school year is filled with new opportunities, growth, learning, friendships, and plenty of reasons to smile. Whether you're starting your very first day of school, beginning a new chapter, or returning to familiar hallways, I wish you an amazing year ahead.

A special shoutout to our teachers and staff who work so hard to make a difference in the lives of our students every day. ❤️

I will be at a few schools doing some high-fives. If you see me dont forget to wave.

Welcome back, Fall River! 💙

What a great way to kick off the new school year! 📚🎉

Today we came together for our Opening Day Convocation, and it was so nice to see the energy and excitement as we prepare to welcome our students back. As a School Committee member, I’m looking forward to another year of learning, growth, and working together for our students, families, and staff.

Here’s to an amazing school year! ❤️🏫📚

What a busy and fun day yesterday was.💙

I started at the Shear Genius Back to School Backpack Giveaway, and stopped by the VFW Backpack Drive. 🎒 After that, it was off to Bike Day at Vanson, then ended at the Nite Owl block party 🦉

Even with the rain earlier in the day, people still came out, showed up, and supported these great community events. By the time we got to the Nite Owl event, the sun was shining. ☀️

I saw so many familiar faces and had some great conversations throughout the day. So many students got backpacks and supplies, I'm so grateful. I always enjoy getting out into the community, supporting local organizations, and seeing so many people come together for Fall River. 💙

There is only a few days before FRPS students go back to school. What other events are you doing before school starts?
