A Tribute to Vinny DiSessa
My Enduring Friendship with Vinny and the Inspiration Behind the Mural
I first met Vinny when the High School was still located where Chapman Middle School stands today. From the very beginning, we shared an instant connection and friendship. Vinny would often visit my classroom, spreading joy and smiles to both teachers and students alike. We would spend time discussing cars, sharing humorous anecdotes about school, or simply catching up on the happenings in our lives. On occasion, he would even share captivating stories of his experiences as a soldier fighting in the Pacific during World War II. Vinny had a remarkable ability to leave a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.
Three years ago, inspired by our friendship and Vinny's impact on the community, I decided to create a mural in his honor. My vision was to capture his essence and preserve his memory for future generations of students. I wanted to showcase the qualities that made Vinny so extraordinary—his humor, faith, and deep love for Weymouth High School. He was not only a true hero but also a cherished friend.
To truly encapsulate Vinny's spirit, I knew the mural needed to extend beyond a simple portrait. My aim was to visually represent the things Vinny held dear, as well as the aspects of his character that we all loved and admired. Through this project, I hoped to create a lasting tribute that would celebrate Vinny's life and inspire all who viewed it.
~ Erik Bunker is an Art Teacher at Weymouth High School
The "Vinny DiSessa Mural" is displayed outside of the Mary Jo Livingstone Humanities Center at Weymouth High School.
Vinny DiSessa was a proud Veteran, serving in the U.S. Army during WWII (1943-1945).
Vinny is one of the featured Veterans on the WETC Video: Veterans of Weymouth
He was a beloved teacher from 1949 - 2016!

The Heavy Metal Summer Experience (HMSE) is a FREE program designed to introduce high school students and recent graduates to union careers in the building trades.
HMSE takes place in the offices and shops of premier mechanical and electrical contractors and union training centers throughout the country. Through training sessions led by craft professionals, students explore the basics of the sheet metal, electrical, piping and plumbing trades and come away energized by a high paying future with job security and no college debt.
The Heavy Metal Summer Experience gives students exposure to sheet metal, piping, and plumbing trades. The camps are built to offer students hands-on learning through projects and working alongside craft professionals. Students will get to tour our shops and union training facilities for a glimpse at local apprenticeship programs to see first-hand what it takes to succeed.
This is a great program for graduating students who are looking for an alternative to the traditional 4-year degree. Many come away energized at the prospect of no student debt, high pay, job security, and the ability to continue developing their skills. This opportunity is open to both students who have experience in the trades and those who will be dipping their toes in for the first time.
There is no cost to students to attend the camp, students will receive Red Wing work boots, PPE, tool bag filled with tools courtesy of Milwaukee. Our camp will span over 2 weeks, and we will end the camp with a graduation ceremony. Students can invite their friends and loved ones to view their projects and help them celebrate their accomplishment of completing the camp.

Honoring Teammate Jack Murray
The Weymouth Middle School Wrestling Club capped off their season with an extra week of hard work, leading up to an intrasquad Maroon vs. Gold match. Led by coaches Jones and Shea, the student-athletes got the chance to battle it out, celebrate their season, and enjoy one last competition together.
The team also honored the memory of their late teammate by proudly wearing Jack Murray Memorial Wrestling T-shirts, keeping his legacy alive in the sport he loved. It was an awesome event, and the buzz around Weymouth Wrestling just keeps growing.

We are grateful to have all our first responders in Policing, Fire, EMS, Dispatch and Corrections serve in our communities.
Many have a military background and want to continue to serve. They protect us, we call them when we are needing help, but who looks after them??
We would like the community to have a better understanding of what our first responders go through over the course of their careers and what they take with them into retirement and beyond. That’s if they make it to retirement, if they are one of the lucky ones. The trauma and sights they see does not go away, it stays with them and they don’t tell anyone because there is so much stigma behind mental health in first response.
This is a must see documentary, with real people sharing their stories.
Let’s show our first responders how much they mean to us. Let’s pack the house! The event is free to all first responders, first responder families and our communities, that means you too!!
Come join us for this special premier screening in Massachusetts!
We are very fortunate to be hosting this event in a beautiful theatre at the Chapman Middle School in Weymouth .
Be advised space is limited, don’t delay to secure your ticket, they are going very quickly.

SEEKING VEHICLE DONATIONS
Why Donate Your Car / Truck to Weymouth CTE Automotive Students?
Donating your car to the Weymouth Career and Technical Education (CTE) Automotive Program is an incredible way to support students in their journey to becoming skilled professionals in the automotive industry. Here's how your donation can make a difference:
- Donating your vehicle provides CTE students with additional real-world, hands-on experience. They can work on actual car systems, diagnose issues, perform repairs, and gain experience with modern automotive technologies. This is a vital part of their education, as it helps them bridge the gap between classroom theory and practical skills.
- By donating a newer vehicle, you ensure students are working with the most up-to-date automotive technologies. This prepares them for today's fast-evolving automotive industry and makes them more competitive when entering the workforce or pursuing certifications.
- Students will advance their knowledge of diagnostics, repairs, and maintenance, developing the skills they need to succeed in the automotive field. These skills are required for industry certifications that can boost their careers.
- The hands-on work with your donated vehicle aligns with the competencies students need to earn recognized certifications, essential for securing high-demand, high-wage jobs in the automotive sector.
By donating your car, you're making a lasting impact on the next generation of automotive professionals, providing them with the training they need to succeed in the workforce. Your donation is not just a car—it's an investment in their future!
DONATED VEHICLES MUST BE NO OLDER THAN 10 YEARS OLD.
It is desirable for vehicles to be as new as possible to provide students with the most up-to-date technology for learning purposes.

Parents attending this workshop will learn about: Key Transition Laws, Transition Timelines, Transition Planning Activities and Forms, Transition Assessments, Community Services & Supports, Post-Secondary Transition Options.

FAFSA
If you plan to apply for college financial aid, you’ll need to fill out the FAFSA. The FAFSA doesn’t become available until December 1st this year, but there’s one thing you can do now: get your FSA ID. The FSA ID is your FAFSA log-in, and both the student and at least one parent will need one. MEFA has a guide to help you figure out who in your family needs an FSA ID (see link below). Check out the info below to learn more about what the FSA IS is, who needs one, and how to get one.

What is a Wraparound Center?
The Wraparound Center serves as a valuable resource hub for families within Weymouth Public Schools. Our mission is to empower families by connecting them to community-based resources that align with their unique culture, voice, and preferences. Our ultimate aim is to provide comprehensive support to students and their families, enabling them to develop a personalized plan that caters to their specific needs and self-identified goals. By facilitating access to available resources, we equip our students and families with the tools they need to fully engage in the school experience.
The Wraparound Center is staffed by Kelsie Bromberg, LICSW, and overseen by Brynn Cooper, LICSW. This collaborative effort between our schools, central office, and community partners has allowed us to establish this invaluable resource for families within Weymouth Public Schools.

SEPAC: Special Education Parent Advisory Council
SEPAC is an all-volunteer town-winde group of parents and caregivers of students with special education needs. SEPAC has collaborated with Weymouth Public Schools Administration, Weymouth School Committee, Town-Wide Parent Council, School Parent Councils, Community Groups and leaders and Building Administrators to promote equal access to educational opportunities, exchange ideas, and share solutions to both complex and challenging issues facing all children in our schools and community. SEPAC is different than a PTO/PTA while those groups main focus is fundraising, SEPAC is a mandated group with a main focus on advocacy.

All Welcome!
VISIT TEXTILE RECYCLING HUB FOR MORE INFORMATION
Massachusetts has added textiles to the waste bans, which means new state rules require textiles be kept out of the trash so they can be recycled or donated for use. Textiles should not be placed in your curbside recycling cart as they damage the sorting equipment at the recycling centers.
So you might ask, " if we don’t put textiles in the trash or our recycle bins, what are we supposed to do?"
WPS and Bay State Textiles are launching the Textile Recycling Corporate Citizen Initiative.
A Textile Recycling Corporate Citizen agrees to host one or more Bay State Textiles recycling bin(s)
