Mr. Mullaney's 7th and 8th Grade Media Makers took to the halls of Chapman last month to practice Street Photography, a genre of photography that captures the culture of everyday life in a specific setting. Check out the VIDEO HERE of the best shots set to a pretty cool cover version of the Beastie Boys' So What'cha Want.

A big focus this term was using frame within a frame, a composition technique where a subject on the street is visually framed by elements within the street scene itself. The students did an excellent job of using the architecture of the building to do this, as well as using a lot of leading lines, but they used their hands and even their legs to frame some of their photos. A hallmark of the street photography assignment is to use the natural light coming into Chapman and to get creative when cropping and adjusting color on our computers. Our class is now wrapping up their Public Service Announcement (PSA) video edits before the term ends.

Don't forget to check out our @MWCFilmClub Youtube Channel to see our 6th Grade Broadcasters using the TV studio and graphic design website Canva, to produce some pretty cool edits of their Top 5 Favorites. The kids have a great time writing their scripts for the teleprompter and editing their finished product in iMovie, adding an opening slides, green screen effects, music and B-Roll. The students who don't necessarily love being on camera have the opportunity to operate the cameras, lights and soundboard from the control room.

About This Event

Bleeding is one of the top causes of preventable death in trauma.

20% of people who have died from traumatic injuries may have survived with quick bleeding control.

Stop the Bleed is part of a national campaign to address the most preventable cause of death in the nation: uncontrolled bleeding.

This course is led by our Trauma Program Injury Prevention Team and will help you feel empowered to make a life-or-death difference when a bleeding emergency occurs.

Through our Stop the Bleed course, you’ll gain the ability to recognize life-threatening bleeding and learn how to intervene effectively.

While you may hope to never need to use them, the skills you learn could help you save a life.

This course is free, but registration is required.

This course will be held at our EMS Operations Facility, located at 60 Winter Street, Weymouth. Parking is available on site.

Class size is limited - if a session is full, please check back in the coming weeks for additional sessions.

All Welcome!

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.

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.

Who is this workshop for?

PPAL workshops are meant for parents, caregivers, family members, individuals, family partners, and/or peer leaders with experience supporting children with emotional, behavioral, or mental health needs.

Secondary transition planning is a formal process to prepare students with special needs for life after high school. It’s a process to help students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) decide what they want to do after high school. It also helps them figure out how to get there. The purpose is to help teens prepare to be independent young adults. 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.

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.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Friday, March 14, 2025

The Weymouth Rotary Foundation will award scholarships at the 2024 Frank Meissner Scholarship Program. These awards are available to all graduates, including Career & Technical Education students. The scholarships will be granted to high school seniors who most exemplify the Rotary International ideal of "Service Above Self". A student's involvement in community service as a VOLUNTEER will weigh heavily in the final decision. Voluntary community service can be through church groups, scouts, or other service organizations.

Qualified applicants must be a graduating student of Weymouth High School or South Shore Christian Academy and a resident of Weymouth. All eligible students are encouraged to apply.

Be sure to:

1. Fill out each section completely. DO NOT LEAVE ANY SECTION BLANK!!

b. Grade point average as of the last marking period

4. Do NOT put your name on the application except in the first part of the application. Your Guidance Department will assign the application a number code, as scholarships are chosen on the basis of the submission qualifications and merit.

5. Do NOT reference a Rotarians' name, as that will disqualify the application.

6. DO provide as much information as possible - the more information you can give about yourself, the better the chance you have of being named a recipient of a scholarship.

It is the responsibility of the Weymouth Public Schools to identify any child ages 3-22

years who may have a disability who is either a resident of Weymouth or who attends a

private school within the geographic boundaries of Weymouth even if the student is

not a resident of Weymouth. This also includes students who are homeschooled.

If you suspect that your child may need an evaluation to determine eligibility for

special education services, you may request an evaluation, at no cost.

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.

Sign up for Community Connect here: communityconnect.io/info/ma-weymouth

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.

The Weymouth Child Family Community Center and its affiliated programs are funded by the Coordinated Family and Community Engagement (CFCE) grant from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care and is administered by Weymouth Public Schools

Our mission is to provide support for families and children from birth to school age. We provide access to comprehensive services, child development information (ASQ) and educational opportunities to support your role as your child’s first teacher.

• Strength-based family education.

• Families are their child’s first and best advocate.

• Information about resources such as your local child care resource and referral agency or MA 211.

• Information about resources such as WIC, housing, food pantries, local education and care options.

There are 5 main goals of the CFCE program:

• Increase knowledge of and accessibility to high-quality early education and care programs and services for families with children prenatal through school age.

• Promote parent education, family engagement and early literacy.

• Facilitate collaboration and community planning between local and early education and care partners and other community stakeholders, including parents.

• Provide support and information to families with children transitioning between and among early education and care settings, home and school.

• Support early education and care programs across the public and private sectors in delivering high-quality services.

* Funded by the Weymouth Child Community Engagement Grant

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.
