In a world of cucumber recalls...
The Morris students have been using their hydroponics planters to raise their own.
Each plant has over 20 cucumbers growing on it!

The Morris Elementary School has done it again!
Only 7 schools in Massachusetts were recognized for their exemplary implementation of PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports). Asst. Principal Holly Soules was on hand at the North East Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports Conference to accept the award on behalf of the Morris School.
PBIS is a proactive, evidence-based framework that promotes a positive school climate by explicitly teaching and reinforcing behavioral expectations. It reduces disciplinary incidents, increases instructional time, and supports equity by ensuring consistent, fair responses across all student groups. PBIS also strengthens students’ social-emotional skills, such as self-regulation and empathy, while enhancing staff collaboration through aligned practices. By using behavioral data to guide decisions and involving families in the process, PBIS creates a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where all students can thrive.
School Resource Officer Colvin was recently honored by Morris students with student-signed poster in recognition of National Police Officers' Week!
Along with the great sign was tote full of treats for the officers back at the station.

The Lenox Fire Department is actively recruiting Junior Firefighters!
This exciting opportunity provides students (16 years and older) a first hand experience of what it is like to be both a Firefighter and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician). LMMHS students will have the opportunity to become both CPR and First Aid certified while participating in LFD trainings.
LMMHS alum, Paige DiGrigoli, and Chief O'Brien will be hosting an informational session at LMMHS. Please contact Ms. Romeo at tromeo@lenoxps.org if you are interested in learning more or signing up.
This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in healthcare, firefighting or a career pathway that aims only at helping others.
The BOOKS BEFORE BED at Morris event saw over 100 people in attendance.
Following the group story time, students went off to Africa, China, Mexico or some other "country" for additional tales from around the world.
A big THANKS to everyone who helped make last night so much fun!
Lenox Public Schools expanded its recruitment outreach by participating in the Education Career Fair at Bridgewater State College. Our effort is aimed at casting a larger geographical net, increasing LPS visibility beyond the Berkshires, and attracting a diverse candidate pool of highly qualified prospective educators .
Teddy the Comfort Dog was very attentive during a second grade math lesson.
Students came up to the board to show their work and Teddy stayed in this spot for the entire lesson.
Once Teddy masters his second grade math lessons, we'll send him on to third grade!
