Transportation Notice for B-R Students

Dear Parents and Guardians:

The pay to ride registration program was extended in Bridgewater during the month of May due to the impact of the partial roof collapse at the Mitchell Elementary School. Please note that the deadline for payment which was originally scheduled for May 29, 2015 was too short a period of time for families to respond. In order to assist families with their planning for next school year's transportation, the payment deadline will be extended through August 15, 2015.

Paid volunteers will get $100-$120 for the day, $15/hourly from 7am-to roughly 3pm. There is a need for one or maybe two. The 7am start is non-negotiable, but the day can end earlier if he/she/they would prefer.

The tasks involved will be early in the a.m. between 7am and 9am and will include setting up of chairs, tables, assisting vendors with locating their spot on the quad etc., helping with the art show setup.
 
 Once the setup is done, the person or people would be responsible for being another set of eyes for anything that looks out of place or in need of attention.

Bone Health Presentation

Tuesday, June 9 at 6:30pm

Bridgewater Public Library

The Bridgewater Public Library will offer a public education program on dealing with the symptoms of osteoporosis

"Fit to a T: What You Need to Know About Bone Health" is sponsored by the U.S. Bone and Joint Initiative (USBJI)/ The USBJI is a network of 100 professional healthcare, patient and public organizations raising awareness of musculoskeletal health, prevention education and research.

Osteoporosis is the most prevalent bone condition among Americans. Nearly one in two women, and one in four men,are likely to suffer from it. Osteoporosis can be debilitating or disabling due to the high incidence of broken bones in people with low bone mass. Prevention education is essential to lowering the number of people with low bone mass and broken bones.

"Fit to a T" is the USBJI's response to the Surgeon General's first-ever report on bone health and osteoporosis. In partnership with the Public Library Association and the National Network of Libraries of Medicine this education program is called "Fit to a T" because the T-score is the measure of a person's bone density and susceptibility to fragility fracture. "Fit to a T" will be presented by Dr. James O'Neil, PharmD., owner/operator of Bridgewater Patient Advocacy and Wellness Services in Bridgewater. 
 
  The program will be held in the library's Flora T. Little Meeting Room on the lower level. Parking is available in back of the library, located at 15 South Street. 

Recreation Commission Summer Program

The program hours are  8:30 AM until 12:30 PM Monday through Friday.  Program runs weekly for eight weeks starting Monday, June 29, and continues to Friday, August 21, 2015.  

No program on Friday July 3rd. Children and parents can choose a schedule to fit your plans.  Choose a 5 day week, any 4 day week, or any  3 day week.  The 2 day program will be available as space allows.  Children can attend for a week, all eight weeks or any number of weeks.

The Nutrition Detectives® is a program for elementary age students to help them learn to read food labels.   The Unjunk Yourself program is designed to help youth learn important health messages on nutrition and physical activity through music and dance video clips. They have just released a new video entitled "I'm an Animal," it is just under 3 minutes in length and highlights the need for us all to consume "real" food vs. processed food.  To view the videos from Turn the Tide FoundationUnJunk Yourself, including "I'm an Animal," visit: click here
