Thanks You Teachers
“Weymouth Football Seniors took a moment to honor the teachers who have made a significant impact on their lives. The influence of teachers often goes unnoticed, but these seniors recognized the importance of the mentors who have guided and supported them throughout their high school journey. The heartfelt gesture is a testament to the power of education and the strong bonds that can form between students and teachers. Go Wildcats!”
Thank You!
We are grateful to David Bristol for his generous donation of a Stagg 5 piece Drum Set and Electric Guitar to the Chapman Band Department.

We deeply appreciate his commitment to supporting our talented musicians and fostering their growth.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mark Schneider for his generous donation of a EAMES Drum Set to the Weymouth High School Band Department.

Seach Hosted Can'd Aid Treads & Trails Assembly
“First grade students at Seach Elementary School were treated to an unforgettable experience when Can'd Aid Treads & Trails Program hosted a special assembly. The program's goal is to educate, inspire, and empower young students to lead healthy, active lives. During the engaging assembly, students learned about the importance of physical activity, safe riding practices, and even picked up some tips and tricks from the experts. The excitement didn't stop there – each first-grade student received a brand new bike and helmet, courtesy of Can'd Aid's generous donation! The event was a resounding success, and we are incredibly grateful to the Treads & Trails Program for their commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles and making a lasting impact on our students' lives.”

Students learned how to properly compose a photograph using Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines, Symmetry, and Frame Within a Frame. They used their editing skills in the photo app on our Mac computers in the Broadcast Lab to adjust color, crop and retouch. There was also a lot of fun playing with the light coming through the windows of our building. This project was inspired by the documentary, "Finding Vivien Maeir" and the concept of capturing the culture of Chapman and what it's like to be a middle school student in 2024. Thousands of photos were taken and the best of the best can be found HERE.

for their continued commitment to the safety of Weymouth!
Space is limited.
The Weymouth Fire Department is pleased to announced they've begun using Community Connect, a secure and easy to use platform that allows you to share critical information about your household that will aid first responders and emergency response personnel when responding to your residence, and encourage residents to sign-up for the service at no cost.
Community Connect allows residents to provide critical property and occupant information to Weymouth Fire that they can access at time of response, leading to better outcomes in case of fire or medical emergency. Some examples of information you can provide include who lives at your residence, information about your pet(s), details regarding functional needs like mobility, and more. All data is safe and only available to first responders at the time of emergency, and Community Connect utilizes the same data security and encryption standards found in online banking.

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) at their location that will benefit the Weymouth Public Schools.
