Jillian’s warm smile and kind heart is a perfect fit for the integral part that lightening of the tree signifies - bringing people together to celebrate friendship, kindness and love.
We are so proud of you, Jillian!

LaPerche Elementary has a warrior in our school!! Our first grade student, Lorenzo, was recently diagnosed with Leukemia and he in at Hasbro battling strong! On Friday, December 9, a group of LaPerche families joined Lorenzo's teacher, Mrs. Martel, and Smithfield Police and Fire to visit Hasbro and wave hello to Lorenzo! They brought signs, lights , smiles and cheers and did all they could to brighten Lorenzo's night.
Lorenzo's parents are so amazing in the way they are supporting their son. Lorenzo will win this battle and be back at LaPerche!!!
On Friday, dad joined the group outside Hasbro and passed out candy canes and glow sticks from Lorenzo! What a generous family. We love you, Lorenzo, and can't wait for you to return!
Thank you to Senator Tikoian for donating The Travels of Edith and Eddie, written by Smithfield author, Paul Borrelli, to each of our elementary school libraries! Thanks to both for visiting our schools.

LaPerche hosted our annual Thanksgiving feast today during lunch. A huge shout out to Chartwells for the delicious food including many local options. So many wonderful LaPerche families were able to come in and volunteer, helping to set up, serve and clean up. Thank you, Melissa Worcester, for leading the volunteers! We hope everyone enjoys their feast tomorrow with their families and friends!
It’s open gym time at LaPerche! Kindergarten friends are able to move from one station to the next when they are ready. They are climbing, building, tumbling, swinging and dribbling! Everyone loves open gym time!

LaPerche students and staff celebrated Veterans Day during a special ceremony yesterday at LaPerche. Sixteen Veterans who are related to LaPerche students joined us and each answered a question from the students and shared their experience being in the military. We heard about the sacrifice soldiers and their families make when someone is deployed. It is hard for the soldier to leave and for the family left behind waiting but still living.
The Veterans talked to the kids about teamwork and democracy and how they put their country before themselves. We are so thankful to live in a free country and we know that is because of the brave men and women in our military.
The students sang to the Veterans and the first graders delivered letters they had written. When our last Veteran spoke, there was not a dry eye in the house.
Happy Veterans Day to all. We are so thankful for your sacrifice and service!
