On Friday, we hosted our annual Unified Game Day, a district-wide event celebrating inclusion and teamwork, at Marlborough High School. Students with disabilities and their unified partners tested their skills in various games and activities, including shot put and long jump.

From running events to cheering on our unified athletes, we loved seeing our volunteers and staff in action. Because of you, our students, with and without disabilities, showed us how to #PlayUnified and took home not only medals but also priceless memories.

The last month of school is filled with wonderful opportunities to honor our seniors. From signing each other's yearbooks at senior breakfast to the proud moments of receiving their cords and stoles at senior award night, and the nostalgia of revisiting their elementary and middle schools during their senior walk, these experiences create lasting memories and celebrate their journey.

All these events culminate in a significant milestone for our seniors: graduation. We look forward to celebrating the remarkable Class of 2026 alongside our dedicated staff, faculty and families — whose steadfast support has guided them to this remarkable achievement — at our graduation ceremony on Sunday, June 7 at 10 a.m. at Noble Field.

At Marlborough Public Schools, substitute teachers can count on flexible schedules, clearly defined roles and a supportive environment.

Antoinette Brown, the owner of Stage Door Dance and a dance teacher, was seeking a secondary job with flexible scheduling. She found that becoming a substitute teacher at one of our elementary schools provided her with that flexibility and much more. Learn more about Antoinette's experience as a substitute teacher here.

Whether you currently work with children in another capacity, like Antoinette, or you simply have a positive attitude and a willingness to engage with kids, there is a strong demand for your skills as a substitute teacher. By taking on this role, you will not only play a vital part in shaping the next generation but you will also provide essential support to our teachers, helping them succeed in their roles.

From reading and science to math and social studies, the MCAS testing season offers our students an opportunity to demonstrate their growth and achievement.

The MCAS testing windows will remain open until early June, and we are proud of the hard work our students and educators have put into preparing for these important assessments. A special shoutout goes to Richer School, which has held various fun, whole-school events to help motivate students to do well on their tests.

In March, Richer students in grades 3-5 participated in a series of Growth Walks. During these events, they paraded down the halls carrying decorated posters showcasing their academic growth, while their fellow students cheered them on. Additionally, the Richer School rolled out the red carpet for students at a high-energy pep rally on Monday, sharing valuable test-taking strategies and practical tips, including the importance of getting a good night's sleep and carefully answering each question.

Good luck to all of our students! We believe in you and are cheering you on every step of the way.
