Henry P. Clough Principal's Blog: January 2012

Welcome to Henry P. Clough Principal's Blog

I am so glad you decided to check out my Principal's Blog. I have had the privilege of working for the Mendon-Upton Regional School District for the past 16 years. I taught at Memorial School for 1 year and Clough School for 11 years, and spent four years as the Curriculum Director. My husband Brian and I live in Upton and have two girls, Erin and Meghan, who both went through the Mendon-Upton School District. I know firsthand what a strong district this is. I am excited to be the principal of Clough Elementary School.

I believe communication is vital. It is my goal to keep the lines of communication open with students, staff, parents, and the community. I will use this blog as a vehicle to keep everyone up to date on what’s going on at Henry P. Clough Elementary School.

I look forward to a productive year where we all work together to ensure our students receive the best education possible in a caring and safe environment.

Best Regards,
Janice Gallagher

Kind and Caring Students

Miss Leaver's Second Grade Students wrote letters during the holiday season to a former Mendon graduate of Nipmuc Regional High School, SPC Jason Papadopoulos. Jason is in the United States Army and has been serving over in Afghanistan for the past 278 days. Students asked him a variety of questions and took time to thank him for serving our country. The students received an e-mail back from Jason to thank the students for thinking of him and bringing a piece of home to him over in Afghanistan. He also sent us several pictures of him and troop over in Afghanistan.
