Dear Families,

I am excited to announce West Bridgewater’s partnership with Raising Multicultural Kids. Raising Multicultural Kids is an education based non-profit that helps schools diversify staff and curriculum. We will be hosting their Diversity in Classroom Leadership and Literature program this year in which one of their Diversity Leaders will be coming into the classroom to read multicultural books to the students. Students will have 10 visits throughout the year from their Diversity Leader and engage with books that feature different people, cultures, languages, socioeconomic status, abilities and family structures. Books are followed by a fun art or cultural activity. See the attached flyers to read more about the program and your child’s Diversity Leaders.

We are looking for parent volunteers to be part of our Spring Street School Improvement Council. If you have a child at the school, please consider being part of the continuous effort to improve our school. Community input is needed in determining the direction of education for our young people. Meetings generally last an hour or less and take place after school. It is a good way to be involved in the improvement of our school.

Please reach out to Mrs. Ellis at mellis@wbridgewater.com if interested.

The Kindergarteners learned about the role of Police Officers in the community and how they keep us safe and see the inside of the Police Station and Police Cruiser! Thank you Officer Packard!

Thank you for Lt. Lynds for coming to Spring Street School and teaching all about fire safety. The kids even got to spray the fire hose!

The Middle School Unified Bocce team is selling short-sleeve, bleached dyed t-shirts to raise money for the unified sports program! Our unified teams provide inclusive athletic programming for students of all ability levels. The proceeds from this fundraiser will help us to buy new equipment, fund our end of season celebrations, and buy team apparel for our athletes.

T-shirts are $25 and come in both youth and adult sizes! If interested in purchasing a shirt, please fill out the google form here or email Ms. Maloney at nmaloney@wbridgewater.com. We hope that you will wear your shirt and come support our team when we host our Unified Bocce Tournament at the Middle-Senior High School gym on Monday, November 4 from 3:30-5:00!

Farm to School! We are partnering again this year with C.N. Smith Farm, Langwater Farm, and Vineyard Farm to provide fresh and local fruits and vegetables for our school meals and at test testing events in the cafeteria. The list includes local corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, melons, potatoes, red and yellow beets, lettuce, carrots, and of course several varieties of apples! The RLM school garden harvested butternut squash to be served district-wide!
