Buzz Around West Bridgewater
Our Booster Club Seeks New Membership


 For over 50 years, the West Bridgewater Boosters Club has supported the athletic programs at West Bridgewater Middle Senior High School.
They hold various fundraisers during the year, including The Duck Race at Park Day, a Golf Tournament, and provide volunteers to run Bingo at St. Ann's every Thursday.
Their largest funding project is the Annual Athletic Awards night, where varsity athletics are honored with earned letterman jackets, team championship plaques, photos and banners.
They are also called upon to offer additional support when financial resources are limited.
In the past, they have purchased treadmills, basketball backboards, scoreboards for various sports, and just recently made a large donation to the Fitness Room to be opened in the new high school. 
Park Day Duck Race

The Boosters are currently recruiting new members and officers. Many of the current members, including the president, vice president and treasurer, no longer have students at the school. Energetic, enthusiastic new members are highly valued and sought out.  For more information, contact us! wbboosters@hotmail.com

 Historical Tidbit:


 

The War Memorial Park in WB is the site of the first inland settlement of Old Bridgewater.

 

This park holds over 350 years of history.

 

The first grist mill was built in 1662; saw mills, carding mills and fulling mills followed after.

 

The Pulpit Rock is in the park which is where Reverend James Keith preached his first sermon to the parishioners of the First Church of Bridgewater in 1663. Also in the park is a 1774 canal, a double clapper bridge and triple arch bridge over the Town River.

 

The area was redesigned as a park during the Depression by local Eveline Johnson under the Works Progress Administration.
