Congrats to Williams Intermediate School’s On A Roll Award Recipients
Each month, teachers select students to recognize them for their hard work and receive an On A Roll Award. Students selected, or that are “on a roll”, make strides of any kind. The criteria includes being on the right track, on one’s game, on a winning streak, and being in the zone. Congratulations to all of October’s WIS recipients!

In Honor of William J. Sullivan, Jr.
"William J. Sullivan, Jr., became Superintendent of Schools when Dr. LaLiberte retired. Mr. Sullivan had been with the system many years, as the principal of the junior high school, Curriculum Coordinator, and Assistant Superintendent.
When Mr. Sullivan retired in 1987, hundreds gathered, and he was presented with many gifts. One of the most important announcements was that the Center School, where Mr. Sullivan had had his office for many years, was being renamed the William J. Sullivan, Jr. School in his honor." .

Moving Forward: 2050 Transportation Survey
The Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District is updating its Regional Range Transportation plan that will act as a blueprint of our region's existing and future transportation system from now to the year 2050. It will look at every aspect of the region’s transportation system including roads, bridges, buses, trains, airports, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks. The RTP affects the entire community of our region and means your feedback on the state of transportation is needed. By completing this survey, you will help future transportation efforts in Southeastern Massachusetts. Additionally, you will help to identify the challenges experienced by riders. All survey responses are completely confidential. The survey should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete, depending on the detail of your responses.

Fight Climate Change & Live Better by Eating
Locally Sourced Foods!
Local Foods Are Fresher and Taste Better:
Fresher is more flavorful and more nutritious than food from farther away & uses less fossil fuels to get to you. Enjoying foods in peak season when they are the most abundant, means they are more affordable.
Local Foods Help to Preserve Farmland and Green Space: Purchasing locally grown helps maintain and preserve the green space and farmland in our local communities, providing for cleaner air and water.
Local Foods Support the Local Economy & Community: Buying from local farmers and restaurants keeps your money close to home. This builds the economy in your community. Since food travels through fewer hands, more of your money spent actually gets to those who grew it. Knowing where your food is from unites you to those who grew and raised it. A strong local economy is better for the earth & our health.
Our Climate Can-Do Articles from Jacquie focus on life changes that we can make which will help mitigate the environmental changes of our climate emergency. Our goal is to keep the Earth's temperature from rising 1.5 degrees C to lessen the sea rise. There are things we can do.
