Help thaw the winter chill by donating items to support students facing homelessness. University Station has partnered with School on Wheels of Massachusetts to host a Winter, Warmth & Wellness Donation Drive. Items needed include new and unused cozy blankets, hats and gloves, warm socks, hand sanitizer + more. Donations can be left in the donation bin located at Five Below through March 12th. School on Wheels provides one-on-one academic support program to Massachusetts children impacted by homelessness. Since the start of the 2021/2022 academic year, SOWMA has distributed more than 6,000 new customized, grade-level backpacks to children and at-risk youth living in 38 Massachusetts communities.

Sunny, with a high of 91 and low of 67 degrees. Sunny for the morning, partly cloudy for the afternoon, clear in the evening,
This needed to happen 5 years ago. But now the real wrangling begins as MPT will fight to get as much $$$ as they can from the state as possible”just compensation.”
I appreciate all of the work and time that the FS1 Steering Committee and Select Board have put into this process. I've also noticed a big difference in communication around this from the town on Facebook and Westwood Wire. This feels like a much different process than the first time around.
Combing the FS1 vote with the general election makes a ton of sense, and in fact, makes me wonder why not do this will ALL elections instead of holding town elections in April?
Just a reminder that you can e-mail the FS1 Committee at FS1Committee@westwoodma.gov with questions/feedback, etc.
Two different votes for the Project?
First one in October for 'site selection, budget, and funding sources' for a new FS1.
Then, a November vote for 'designing, constructing, equipping, and furnishing' of a new FS1.
Seems repetitive.
