The Woolie Way - Your Monthly Path to Millbury Pride

October 2026 Update

Greetings

Good afternoon, Woolie families!

What a September it was! We couldn’t have asked for a better start to the school year, and it was especially great to see our community come together this past weekend for Homecoming and the Block Party. The energy, pride, and sense of Woolie spirit were on full display, and I want to thank everyone who attended, volunteered, participated, and supported our students and school throughout the month.

September was filled with so many great moments, and October is already shaping up to be just as exciting. From athletics and performing arts to classroom learning, student activities, and opportunities to bring our school and community together, there is a lot happening.

As we head into a new month, I encourage everyone to stay connected, get involved, and continue showing up for our students. There is always something happening in Woolie Nation, and October will be no exception!

Thank you for an incredible September, and here’s to an even better October!

Sincerely,

Chris Lowe

From the School Counseling Dept.
