Greetings Wildcat Families,
Welcome to Week 12 of the Fall semester!
Reminder: November 1st is a non-student day. Please plan accordingly.
Our Community's Generosity is Truly Inspiring!
This year, we’ve raised an incredible $1,125 for the PTSA and $2,215 for Westborough, including donations specifically for electives and music programs. Thank you for your ongoing support!
We understand that not everyone can contribute financially. Your participation in school and PTSA events, as well as the time you spend volunteering, are invaluable ways to support our community. Thank you for everything you do to help our school thrive!
Go Wildcats!
