Summer Reading Camp Registration 2025

Pierce Elementary School has a summer learning opportunity for reading camp available for elementary school students who attend our Title I district schools.



Schedule: The program will begin the week of July 8th and will end on July 31st, each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9-12:00pm.


Locations: The program will take place at Antrim Elementary School and Peterborough Elementary School this year and is open to all rising 1st - 5th Grade students. SPACE IS LIMITED!


Please fill out a separate registration form (either on paper or online) for each child/student you are enrolling. REGISTRATION CLOSES MAY 23, 2025 OR SOONER depending on limited spaces available.


A few important things to note about the Reading Camp Summer Program:


  • The Summer Program is free of charge and registration is open to all students attending PES, AES and Pierce Schools.
  • The District will work with STA to provide bus transportation to and from summer programming; however, given staff shortages, it is not guaranteed at this time. As soon as we know more we will reach out.
  • The District is not providing a bagged lunch this year, but if there is a need, a snack will be provided. We appreciate your cooperation in sending your child with a snack and water/drink every day.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the school principal, Ms. Hansen-Proulx, at ahansen@conval.edu or:

Children and the Arts Parade - Saturday, 5/17 Children and the Arts Parade - Saturday, 5/17

On Saturday, 5/17, our school will march in the Children and the Arts parade in Peterborough. Students are asked to bring their puppet sculptures that they've been working on in art with Mr. Melle to the parade to carry with them in the parade. The festivities have artwork, a food court, giant puppets, face painting, music, street dancing, costumes and more! Please join us as we march together next Saturday, meeting at Peterborough Elementary School at 11am, for a fun-filled showing of our school spirit...it's sure to be a memorable experience! Students will receive their puppets on Thursday, 5/15 at Night of the Arts from 6-7pm at Pierce School.


Our PTO will be selling pizza and drinks on the green under a tent, come support our school PTO, and if you have some time to volunteer, we'd love your support by signing up to help with any part! Thank you in advance!
