On Friday, Nov. 18, the Blackstone Valley lost one of its best athletes when Uxbridge’s Peter Frabotta, Jr. passed away at 84. Frabotta, Class of 1951, led the football team, then known as the Light Brigade, to a four-year record of 29-1-1. The four- year starter, playing halfback, quar- terback and safety, saw his teams go 7-0-1, 9-0, 8-0 and 5-1. The 29-1-1 mark, an Uxbridge record, included a 26-game unbeaten streak. Frabotta is still the only Uxbridge football player in school history to defeat rival Northbridge High in each of his four years of varsity play. In 1947, during Frabotta’s freshman year, he was selected to an All-Star game at Holy Cross, which was voted on by coaches and featured the best of the City of Worcester versus the rest of Worcester County. Tickets were a whop- ping $2.40 to see players like the 5-foot-3, 150-pound Frabotta and others compete. Frabotta also played varsity baseball during his time at Uxbridge and was inducted into the inaugural class of the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in the year 2000.

Rayanne Coombs photos NORTHBRIDGE — Families in Northbridge celebrated the upcoming holiday season at the annual Winter Social, hosted by the Northbridge PTA. Festivities at the Balmer School on Friday, Dec. 2, included arts and crafts tables, family games, raffle baskets, and a “Winter Wonderland” themed hallway featuring an I-Spy game. School children at Northbridge Elementary School and Balmer School donated items to fill 30 themed raffle baskets, which included, “movie night,” “slumber party,” “New England Sports,” a “lottery ticket tree,” and many more. A small committee of NPTA members began working on the event in October, and more than 40 parents volunteered to help out on the evening of the Winter Social. NPTA Co-President Crystal Sadik said: “This year’s Winter Social was a fun and successful family event thanks to the hard working efforts of a core committee of PTA Board members, and many parent volunteers. We have a great group of members this year, and we hope our events will encourage more parents to get involved. It was wonderful to see so many parents and kids come out on a Friday night to begin celebrat- ing the holiday season.
