This morning we had the annual car parade for our seniors and then the cookout. A huge thank you to all involved. A special thank you to Chief Nixon and the WBPD for their assistance during the car parade as our students traveled to the Howard School, Spring Street School, Rose L MacDonald School and then back around the MSHS. We appreciate the assistance in helping to keep our students safe.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a reminder that the Class of 2025 graduates on May 30th and the last day of school is on June 13th.
Take care

Happy National School Nurse Day!
Today, we give a heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible school nurses who care for our students every single day with skill, compassion, and dedication. Our nurses do so much more than provide medical care—they are trusted professionals, thoughtful listeners, and a calm presence in times of need. Whether it's a scraped knee, creating a health plan, or just a comforting word, our nurses are always there for our students, staff, and families.
We are so grateful for each of you: Nurse Leader & MSHS Nurse Julie Diedrichsen, MSHS Nurse Joyce Warmington, Howard School Nurse Sara Mando, Rose L. MacDonald Nurse Priscilla Dennis, Spring Street School Nurse Carissa Monize and our dedicated substitute nurses who step in whenever needed!
Thank you for all that you do—your care makes a difference every single day.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
This week—and every week—we celebrate the outstanding educators of West Bridgewater! We are truly fortunate to have such a passionate, hardworking, and caring team of teachers and staff who go above and beyond to support, inspire, and guide our students each day. Your dedication makes our schools stronger and our community better. From early mornings to late nights, you make learning come alive, build connections, and create a safe, welcoming space for all students to thrive.
We also want to give a heartfelt thank you to the amazing WB PTO for organizing a thoughtful week of recognition and appreciation for our staff—you help make this week extra special! Let’s all take a moment to #ThankATeacher this week!
