Creative Corner School 

Creative Corner School is a STEAM-focused early childhood education center proudly serving families with programs for children ages 6 weeks through 6 years. Our mission is to create a warm, engaging environment where children feel supported as they learn, grow, and develop a lifelong love of discovery. Through a balance of structured learning, hands-on exploration, and purposeful play, we help children build the academic, social, and emotional foundations needed for future success. Creative Corner offers age-appropriate classrooms led by dedicated educators who encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Children engage in activities centered around science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In addition to our classroom curriculum, we offer a variety of enrichment programs designed to support children's growth and interests. These include soccer, yoga, music, special performances, Spanish instruction for our older students, and hands-on STEAM experiences in our dedicated STEAM Lab. Through creative projects, building challenges, science activities, and collaborative problem-solving opportunities, children are encouraged to explore, experiment, and discover. We also regularly welcome community helpers and local organizations into our school, providing children with meaningful hands-on experiences and opportunities to connect with the world around them. Our building features spacious classrooms, multiple playgrounds, an indoor play area, a grassy outdoor field, and a rock-climbing wall, giving children plenty of opportunities to stay active, explore, and have fun throughout the day. At Creative Corner School, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where every child can thrive. We are currently enrolling and invite families to schedule a tour to learn more about our programs and community. For more information, please call 781-721-5566.

<h6></h6>Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill: The Musical
Book by Diablo Cody; Music by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard​

Stage Director: Rhiannon Jenkins | Music Director: Kathryn Denney
An exhilarating musical inspired by the themes and raw emotions laid bare in Alanis Morissette's seminal album of the same name. The Healys appear to be a picture-perfect suburban family – but looks can be deceiving. When the cracks beneath the surface begin to show, they must choose between maintaining the status quo or facing harsh truths about themselves, their community, and the world around them.

Ephraim Curtis Middle School

On Sunday, September 20th, Sudbury will host our third inaugural <a href="https://kids.pmc.org/sudbury" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sudbury PMC Kids Bike Ride</a>.&nbsp;Our ride is a 1-mile loop that riders may enjoy as long as they would like. The one mile course is entirely paved and loops through the beautiful residential neighborhoods of historic Sudbury. Parents are welcome to ride with their children but it is not required. If a parent chooses to accompany their child on the bike, we ask that they register as volunteers.&nbsp;
Many kids choose to ride the loop 3-6-12 or even 15 times. We encourage riders to participate as long as they would like. We will have special badges for riders who accomplish 5-8-12 and 15 miles, too! Please indicate at registration an estimate of your rider's total distance (this will help us for event organization).&nbsp;There is also an enclosed parking lot loop all starting from Curtis Middle School in Sudbury, MA. (Adults may opt to register as volunteers if they would like to ride with the kids). Before the ride there will be music and bike decorating; during the ride and following there will be an Ice-Cream Truck, Food Truck, Coffee Truck, huge bouncy castle, lawn games, music and more. All registered riders will get a free ice cream from our friends at Trombetta’s Farm Ice Cream. Registration takes place from 8:30am-9:45am. The ride is from 10:00am-11:30am, and food and games will be available from 10:00am - 1:00pm.
“The Pan-Mass Challenge is a Massachusetts-based bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country. Always held the first weekend in August, the PMC raises funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a world leader in adult and pediatric cancer treatment and research. Each summer, thousands of riders and volunteers from 43 states and 12 countries participate in the PMC, all with a common goal: to find a cure for cancer.
100 percent of all rider-raised funds go directly to cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. The PMC is Dana-Farber’s single largest supporter and is 62 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue. Since 1980, the PMC has raised $972 million for Dana-Farber.”
The Sudbury PMC Kids Bike Ride empowers young participants to contribute to a meaningful cause while enjoying a fun activity. By offering multiple course options, every child will have the opportunity to participate and make a difference - regardless of age or ability. Each ride distance is carefully planned to be safe and enjoyable, with designated routes through historic Sudbury neighborhoods that are well-marked and closely monitored by volunteers. For the youngest participants, the tot lot loop provides a secure environment where kids can ride in a contained area - strollers, scooters, tricycles are ALL welcome!
Beyond the joy of bike riding, the Sudbury PMC Kids Bike Ride serves as a powerful educational experience for children, teaching them about the impact of collective efforts in fighting cancer. As they pedal for a purpose, they learn about empathy, community involvement, and the importance of supporting breakthroughs in treatment and cures at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This event not only raises crucial funds for cancer research but also instills valuable life lessons in the young riders; collectively we all pedal towards a more cancer-free future. As with all PMC rides, every penny donated goes directly to cancer treatment and research at Dana-Farber.
Please join us on September 20th, 2026, for the <a href="https://kids.pmc.org/sudbury" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sudbury PMC Kids Bike Ride</a>. We are also looking for volunteers of ALL ages to help us host an impactful and safe event. If you would prefer to contribute from a distance, you can donate to the ride by clicking the link below.
