Principal's Message 

Hello Zeh Families,

Earlier this week, our 5th-grade band and chorus students performed for both the school and their families, showcasing the incredible progress they've made in a short time this year. As many of you have already heard, Northborough will be launching a strings program for third graders next year, further expanding our music offerings in the district.

This weekend, we celebrate Memorial Day, a time to remember and give thanks for the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. I hope your family finds time to reflect and enjoy a peaceful long weekend together.

  • THANK YOU for an amazing Kidzfest to all Zeh Teachers, Staff, and Families from the PTO! The sun was shining, the ice cream was delicious, and the Zeh community turned out in full force to have fun while raising money to support our students and staff.  We’re still adding up the totals but it appears we exceeded our projected goal of $8,000 for PTO activities and to contribute towards a new projector in the cafeteria. Special thanks to our event sponsors (Michelle Gillespie Realtors, Avidia Bank, Curtis Septic System, and Main Street Bank), Mr. Bell, all the awesome parent volunteers, Mr. Carneiro and Ms. Kerry Donovan, and everyone who donated time, talents, and items to the Silent Auction and Classroom Raffle Baskets. Can’t wait to see you at Kidzfest next year! 

  • PTO Sponsored Enrichment:  Zeh students had a special visit from Ball In The House, an acclaimed a cappella group, as part of our school's Enrichment program. Students were treated to an engaging and high-energy performance that combined music, education, and inspiration. Some lucky students even performed on stage with our visitors while showing off their amazing musical talents. This memorable experience brought learning to life and highlights the PTO’s commitment to enriching our school community. Pictures/videos available here.
