Summer academy may be winding down this week, but Buckingham Elementary students are still soaking up the learning! Last week, WCPS leaders visited BES to watch students engaged in summer programming, give out some #BooksFromTheBackseat and say thanks to the hard-working staff. #WeAreWorcester #LearningNeverStops
Reminder! Our first Community Pop-Up of the summer is today at Stephen Decatur Park! Stop by from 2:00–3:00 PM to enjoy a free snow cone in the shade. We’ll also have a limited supply of food bags donated by SonRise Church available. If you would like one, please see Mrs. Chaffee while supplies last. We hope to see you there!

Meet Lizbeth Trejo, Educational Assistant at Buckingham Elementary
3 years with Worcester County Public Schools
“I love seeing the progress students make throughout the school year.”
A Proud Moment
One of my students communicated through their device which we had been working on for a while
What People May Not Realize
Sometimes nonverbal students have a difficult time communicating their needs, and it can be difficult for their teachers to understand what they need.
What She Loves Most About Her School Community
I love how we are all like a family, and everyone is included in everything.
