Historical Tidbit:
Chief Massasoit 
Among New England's most powerful Indian rulers, Massasoit (1580-1661), also called Ousamequin ("Yellow Feather"), was sachem (chief) of the Wampanoag people when the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth in 1620.
Massasoit was born in the village of Pokanoket, near present-day Bristol RI.
By signing a treaty with the Pilgrim settlers of Plymouth in 1621, and by faithfully observing its provisions, Massasoit guaranteed that the fledgling colony of Massachusetts Bay would survive.
Luckily for the Pilgrims, the treaty kept the Wampanoags neutral during the Pequot War of 1636. Until his death in 1661, Massasoit remained an ally of the Pilgrims.
Sachem Rock in East Bridgewater is named after this great chief.

Update on Kevin Smith's Eagle Scout Project:
The Middle School Courtyard
Eight months, 66 tons of gravel, 75 volunteers, 50+ hours. It is just about done.
The boys will go back during the week to do the final clean-up.
Look for a car wash in the near future. One more delivery of gravel was needed, so the project is about $300 over the donations that were so generously given.
 This has been a fantastic effort so far by so many!
If anyone would like to help in the final stretch with donations of any sort, please contact Kevin KTSmith97@hotmail.com
| |

LOST AND FOUND AND LOCKERS
Please have your child check our lost and found as there are many clothing items and lunch boxes.
Students should also make sure their lockers are cleaned out by the last day of school, June 26th.
Any remaining items in the lost and found or lockers will be donated or discarded if not claimed by July 2nd.

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go." ~ Dr Seuss
"In response to those who say to stop dreaming and face reality, I say keep dreaming and make reality." ~ Kristian Kan
"My favorite animal is the turtle. The reason is that in order for the turtle to move, it has to stick its neck out. There are going to be times in your life when you're going to have to stick your neck out. There will be challenges and instead of hiding in a shell, you have to go out and meet them." ~ Ruth Westheimer
 Congratulations, grads of 2015!
