Have A Safe Break
Not much more needs to be said about 2019. The year flew by and it was one of tremendous growth here at JRB. We have seen it all from PreK students becoming flourishing Kindergarteners all the way to our current 5th-graders becoming leaders as they guide students to the correct buses. Students and staff alike deserve a rest. Please take care of each other this vacation, and come back ready to start the new year on the right track!
Here is a look at some of our wonderfully decorated doors as well. Thank you to our guest judges for your help in choosing a 1st and 2nd floor winner and runner-up.

Community News
Helping through the Holidays: On behalf of the Ashburnham Community Church and People’s Church food pantries, I’d like to thank the students, staff, administration, teachers and their families and friends at John R Briggs where the annual Turkey Trot Food Drive collected over 900 non-perishable food items for local families in need. These donations will help us provide hearty food staples for over 40 local families in need this holiday season. Thank you once again for your generous giving and your continued support!
