Scholastic Book Fair is Still Open Online!

THANK YOU for supporting our in-person Scholastic Book Fair! It was a huge success, and the profits from the fair are planned to be used for a future author visit! Thank you to the parent volunteers who were able to help during the week and make the fair possible! We couldn't have done it without you!
Our online fair is still open through 12/16! If there are more books on your wishlist, or you're looking for last minute holiday gifts, choose Scholastic and support the school at the same time!
 

ELPAC (Multilingual Parent Advisory Council) Meeting

Dear Families,

We are excited to invite you to our next ELPAC (Multilingual Parent Advisory Council) Meeting on Thursday, December 11th, at 6:30 p.m. in the Algonquin Regional High School Library!
This meeting will be a joyful and welcoming gathering as we:

Learn about Holidays Around the World through our conversations
🍕 Enjoy pizza together
🧸 Provide free babysitting for children
🏀 Welcome, Northborough Recreation to share programs and opportunities for families
🤝 And we are also working to welcome Southborough Recreation to join us as well!

If you’d like, you are welcome to bring a small snack or treat to share, especially something that represents your family’s traditions, but this is completely optional.
ELPAC is a space for multilingual families to connect, share ideas, and learn about community resources that support our students and families. We would love to see you there.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
We look forward to spending the evening with you!
Warmly,
ELPAC Leadership Team
The Public Schools of Northborough and Southborough.

LOCAL SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD RESOURCES


The food pantry is run by the United Parishes of Southborough; its members include Pilgrim Church, St. Matthew Church, St. Anne Church, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, and First Community Church. Together, these parishes strive to provide compassionate service to their member congregations and the Southborough community. The mission of the pantry is to assist neighbors and church parishioners who struggle to provide meals for their families. The food pantry is located in Pilgrim Church and is open Thursday evenings from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM and Friday mornings from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. https://www.southboroughfoodpantry.org/

Southborough Free Fridge - 27 Main St. Available 24/7
The Fridge and a cabinet pantry are located behind St. Mark’s Episcopal Church’s Parish Hall (27 Main Street). It is a take-what-you-need, leave-what-you-can fridge, providing free food to all community members. Run by community members, the Friend Fridge aims to build community and fill the gaps between food security and equity.
