Historical Tidbit:
Education in 1647
Education for all was an early American ideal. As early as 1647 Massachusetts Bay Colony passed a law mandating that all towns with more than 50 families set up a school. If a town didn't comply with the law, they were fined five Pounds.
"That in whatsoever township in this government consist of 50 families or upwards. Where there were families of 100 or more, Latin must be offered in Grammar School to prepare for the University. The town was responsible for making a reasonable appropriation. The profits from the Cape Fisheries, hereto ordered to maintain a Grammar School, shall be distributed to such towns as to have such Grammar Schools, not exceeding five Pounds per annum to any one town."
Before that time, small classes were held in private homes.

Bridgewater State University is offering vaccines
BSU is pleased to announce that it has been selected as a regional COVID-19 vaccination site.
The announcement follows Governor Charlie Baker’s plan to shift vaccine supply to regional sites while closing four of the state’s seven mass vaccination sites by the end of June, including Gillette Stadium, which has served the region since the beginning of the year.
The Kelly Gymnasium on 45 Park Ave. will be the location where nursing staff will have capacity to administer 750 vaccinations a day, five days a week to the public.
BSU is providing storage and is capable of administering the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
This effort has been made possible by many offices across the campus, including the Office of the President, Wellness Center, BSUPD, Information Technology and Operations. Further, we have been supported in our effort to open a regional vaccination site by Governor Baker and his administration and our regional legislative delegation, including Senator Marc R. Pacheco, Senator Michael Brady and Representative Angelo D’Emilia.
All residents of the commonwealth over age 17 are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine. Book at vaxfinder.mass.gov.

Inspiration
"Inspiration is not born of 'the eureka moment' but in the quiet spaces we allow ourselves to be in - whether in a beautiful part of nature or in a peaceful meditative state of mind." ~ Sharon Knettell
"If you can't find your inspiration by walking around the block one time, go around two blocks-but never three."
~ Robert Motherwell
"Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." ~ Pablo Picasso

Once in a while in life things get really heavy, it's hard; details, frustrating...
And Readers, you inspire me to keep going.. in the ways that you show up in your communities; the ways that you help out your neighbors; the ways that you share your gifts and talents. You inspire me to keep writing your BuzzAround newsletters and spreading your good news... week after week... 581 weeks and counting.
If you can keep doing it, so can I.
Thanks for the inspiration.
