Information on the Coronavirus (COVID-19)
***PLEASE VISIT OUR DEDICATED COVID-19 PAGE HERE FOR ALL UPDATES IN REGARDS TO COVID-19**
Please be advised that administrators and staff at Pilgrim Area Collaborative are staying informed about the recent Coronavirus (COVID-19).
For the most complete and comprehensive information, please visit the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's dedicated page on the Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Symptoms of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) include:
- fever
- cough and shortness of breath, and
- in severe cases, pneumonia (fluid in the lungs).
Although the risk to Massachusetts residents of the novel coronavirus is low, the risk for influenza is currently high. Many of the things you do to help prevent colds and the flu can help protect you against other respiratory viruses:
- Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes.
- Stay home if you are sick.

PAC on PACTV Community News
We'd like to extend our gratitude to PACTV Community News for recently doing a segment on our work here at Pilgrim Area Collaborative. PACTV recently took a tour of our program at Pilgrim Academy in Plymouth, MA with Executive Director Dr. Maureen Gaughan, Pilgrim Academy Director Cheryl Jacques, and PACES Director Deb Booth.
Please feel free to share with your family, friends and neighbors and anyone else who may be interested in what we are doing at Pilgrim Area Collaborative!
Box Tops for Education
This year, Pilgrim Area Collaborative will continue to participate in the Box Tops for Education program. Clipping Box Tops is an easy way for you to help the PSO to continue to support classrooms and programs. Box Tops are each worth 10 cents and quickly add up to real cash for our school. This school year, our school's earnings goal is $1,000.00.
To help our school, just look for pink Box Tops on products, clip them and send them in to your child's classroom teacher. As an added incentive, the classroom that collects the most Box Tops will be rewarded with an end of the year Classroom Celebration! Be sure to send them in a labeled envelope/baggie including your child's name and/or teacher!
