Howard School Parents, it's that time of year again for FIELD DAY! Last year was outrageously successful and we cannot wait for this year. We will be needing volunteers again to help run each station and act as floaters. An email was sent home to every child's contacts regarding this. If you would like to be a volunteer, or have any questions, please email Ms. Roberts ASAP-- eroberts@wbridgewater.com

ATTENTION, 6th Grade Parents; The State of Massachusetts requires a current physical(within 13 months) with up to date immunizations, prior to entry into seventh grade. If your child has recently had a physical exam, please send in a copy to me so I can enter it into our computer system and place it in their medical file, that will be going over to the high school in June. Please remember that if your child plans on playing a fall sport their current physical needs to be on record prior to August tryouts.

We are pleased to announce that we have a new online portal for building and athletic space use requests. For more information, visit https://www.wbridgewaterschools.org/page/building-use-requests

Food Assistance- Project Bread Food Source Hotline , West Bridgewater Food Pantry.

It will be a fun day with food trucks, music, games, a chance to dunk Mrs. Page and to just be with the community to help an important cause. Please contact the MSHS with any questions.

The West Bridgewater Open Space Committee’s 7th annual River Walk will take place on

Sunday, June 2nd from 10 AM to 2 PM (rain date Sunday June 9th). It is an opportunity

to get out and celebrate some of WB’s great outdoor spaces, rich history and

farming heritage. Each year, River Walk features a variety of music,

activities, and great food and beverage options along car-free,

pedestrian-friendly River Street. This year, we are especially excited to

announce an expanded Crafter’s Row, and Silent Auction. And be sure to check

out West Bridgewater Police Department’s Safety Day, while you are there. So walk, bike,

train or paddle your way along River Street, but definitely don’t miss out! For

more information, or if you’d like to help out, message us on Facebook. We’d love to hear from you!
