Dear Proctor Penguins and Families,

A huge thank you to all of the parents and caregivers who came out to help with our very first Waddling with Waddles event on Wednesday! Your energy and enthusiasm made it such a joyful morning for our students. We are so grateful for your time and partnership in bringing these fun community moments to life.

If you missed this one but would like to get involved, our next Waddling with Waddles event will take place on Wednesday, December 3rd. The PTO will share a sign-up link soon-stay tuned!

We’re also thrilled to share that our Proctor Spirit Squad, led by Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Bayley, is organizing a schoolwide food drive to support the Northborough Food Pantry. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to put The Penguin Way into action-taking care of each other and supporting our community. Please see the attached flyer for information on the most needed items and how your family can contribute.

Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and for all you do to support our Proctor Penguins.

Proctor School November Food Drive

We’re excited to share that the Proctor Spirit Squad, led by Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Bayley, is organizing a November Food Drive to support the Northborough Food Pantry.

From November 10–22, students and families are invited to join us in living The Penguin Way by taking care of each other. Donation bins are located in the front lobby, and we’re collecting non-perishable items such as canned soups, beans, vegetables, pasta, rice, cereal, oatmeal, and paper goods.

Thank you for helping our students make a difference in our community!
