Docent News
Orientation is coming:
Join us in the Docent volunteer program ‒ a great way to get into the classroom, engage with kids in grades 1-7, open their eyes to art, and have some fun!
Requirements:
No experience is necessary
We will teach you what you need to know, and hand you all the materials. Classroom visits take about an hour, and often include games or crafts. The commitment is a few hours a couple of times a year. We are recruiting now for the Matisse unit in 1st grade for this year ‒ or next year all other grades!
About Docent:
This PAC sponsored fun and unique program has been a part of Walpole schools for more than 40 years. Together we explore different artists, art styles, time periods, cultures and types of art - and the kids love it! Every classroom has room for multiple docents (the more the merrier!) and the teachers are great about working with your schedules - so you can set up your classroom visits at times that work for you. We currently have 50 volunteers (parents and grandparents). If you would like to volunteer, please let us know. Everyone is welcome.
Schedule by Grade:

Special Request - Boxes of Cereal
All Fisher students (K-5) will be participating in a special team building activity in March. We kindly request donations of unopened, regular size boxes of cereal. We need approximately 500 boxes since we are looking for enough to line our halls to make a "domino formation". After our team building activity, the cereal boxes will be donated to the Walpole Food Pantry. Thank you!
**We are still looking for cereal**
Extended Day - Pilot Summer Program
We are excited to announce that Extended Day will be running a Pilot Summer Program this upcoming summer and registration is now live. We are anticipating registration to fill quickly and will do our best to enroll as many waitlisted students as possible.
This year, the camp will run for 4 weeks at Fisher Elementary and offer an Extended Day PM option for families. Registration will be open for incoming first-sixth graders. Registration will be available for individual weeks and families will have the option to register for all 4 weeks at a discounted rate.
Please see the attached PDF regarding Summer Camp Information and Registration Information for the Summer of 2025 and reach out to Dan Santangelo (dsantangelo@walpole.k12.ma.us) or Evan Storlazzi (estorlazzi@walpole.k12.ma.us) with any questions.
