Principal Lima's Eagle News

Dear Families and Students,
This week was busy but full of kindness and excitement! Students collected and donated candy as part of our “Extra Candy, Extra Recess” incentive—photos below show them delivering the donations along with thoughtful letters.
Although it was a short week, it was packed with fun! From field trips and Kindergarten Bingo Night to our first Veterans Day Tribute Assembly, students enjoyed both meaningful and memorable experiences.
Looking ahead, there will be no school on Tuesday in observance of Veterans Day. You’ll also find information below about our new Drama Club that will be starting soon.
We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! As always, please reach out with any questions.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Katelyn Lima, Principal (klima@drregional.org)
Mr. Kenneth Girouard, Assistant Principal (kgirouard@drregional.org)

In the Classroom
Dighton Elementary School is starting up a drama club! Are YOU interested?
We are planning a production and are looking for students in grades 1 through 4 that want to be a part of the show. The club will meet after school each Thursday for approximately an hour, for most of the school year. Our first sessions will focus on acting lessons and performance strategies. Soon after we will begin rehearsals on our production. Please let us know if you would like to be part of this new experience! Keep in mind that this is an after school activity where no academic/behavioral support or nurse will be available to assist students.
Due to the fact that this is a new opportunity for the directors and students, we are only accepting 30 participants (based mostly on a “first come, first serve” basis) while thinking about all of the roles that need to be filled to make a quality production. Fill out the google form to show your interest.
The club will begin on Thursday December 4, 2025.
We are VERY excited to begin this adventure with our drama club!

The holidays are just around the corner, and the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District is once again partnering with the Greater Attleboro Council for Children through the Christmas Is for Kids program to bring joy and comfort to local families in need. Superintendent Runey emailed all district families earlier today with details about the program and how to apply.
Families who have previously participated must apply by November 8, and new families have until Friday, November 22. Applications are available at each school, the Superintendent’s Office, or online.
