Buzz Around West Bridgewater

 

West Bridgewater Senior Lip Dub 2015
West Bridgewater Senior Lip Dub 2015

 

The annual Senior Lip Dub is a tradition here at West Bridgewater Middle Senior High School. We're moving into a new school this Fall so this was the last Dub in the old building. The Class of 2015 stepped up with 80% of the class participating. I think it may be our best one yet, but what do you think?

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 $5.00.


 "That in whatsoever township in this government consist of 50 families or upwards. Where there

sue and her plant

 were families of 100 or more, Latin must be offered in Grammar School to prepare for the University. The town 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 5 pounds per annum to any one town."

Our home delivered meals program, also know as "Meals on Wheels", are designed to provide just the right combination of good nutrition and a friendly visitor for people 60+ who may not have enough food, be able to prepare their own food, or understand the proper nutritional requirements as they are advancing in age.

We deliver meals based on need, so whether long or short term, we can help you or a loved one eat properly.  Whether recovering from surgery or an illness, or just not having the mobility to get to the market on a regular basis, Meals on Wheels is there to support seniors in our communities

All meals served meet one-third of a participant's daily nutritional requirements and are designed to be low in sodium, fat, and sugar.  And if the participant's doctor requests a diabetic diet plan, we can usually accommodate that by offering a modified meal.    www.sselder.org
