We had a fantastic turnout for last night's Band Time Concert at the High School! It was wonderful to see our talented students from Grades 5 through 12 sharing the stage and performing together.

We appreciate Holyoke Credit Union in Feeding Hills for their commitment to our district. Thanks to their 2026 Children’s Book Drive partnership, our elementary schools will benefit from a wealth of new reading materials donated by the Credit Union and selected directly by our building principals for their schools.

We had a wonderful evening at the Log Cabin celebrating our 2026 Excellence in Teaching award recipients. A huge congratulations to Alissa Easton, Rebecca Bergeron, Tammy Rumplik, and Melissa Kriebel! The banquet was a fantastic tribute to their dedication, featuring personalized plaques and a few special surprises for each honoree.

Just a friendly reminder: there will be no School Committee Meeting tonight, May 12, 2026.

Inspiration isn't just about a single lesson; it’s about the countless quiet moments of support. Between the teacher's vision and the paraprofessional's dedicated heart, our students aren't just learning—they are thriving.

As part of a friendly challenge between Agawam and West Springfield, we invite you to participate in the annual Food Drive on Saturday, May 9th. If you are able to contribute, please place non-perishable food items by your mailbox that morning for collection.

We are working to share this community-wide challenge as broadly as possible in support of the May 9th drive. Food banks often experience significant shortages during April and May, and your donations will help restock their shelves. Proceeds from this effort will also support One Call Away in serving our local veterans.

The Department of Special Services will be having a Homeschool Meet-Up virtual meeting on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 from 4:00 - 5:00 pm.

Today is National School Lunch Hero Day! I want to take a moment to recognize and sincerely thank all of Agawams School Lunch Heroes for the essential work they do each and every day.

They are so much more than the people who prepare and serve meals—they are a steady, caring presence in the lives of our students. Through early mornings, busy lunch periods, and countless behind-the-scenes tasks, they make sure every child is nourished, welcomed, and cared for. That consistency and kindness do not go unnoticed.

The meals they provide fuel learning, support well-being, and create moments of comfort in a student’s day. Whether it’s remembering a student’s favorite lunch, offering a warm smile, or going the extra mile during challenging times, their dedication truly makes a difference.

Today is a chance to celebrate them! Please take a minute to thank you them for their hard work, compassion, and commitment to our school community.
