At the district math meet on Wednesday afternoon, April 10th, student representatives from all four of Westwood's public elementary schools - Downey, Martha Jones, Pine Hill, and Sheehan - competed against each other at Thurston Middle School to see which would come out on top.
For fifth grade, the students of Pine Hill School took first place, giving the newly opened school academic accolades that most likely are among its first.
For both third and fourth grades, the students of Downey School were the victors.
For the first time, the competition was opened to second graders this year, but not all schools participated.
For more on the district math meet, keep an eye out for an article and photos soon to be published in Westwood Minute!
Cloudy , with a high of 45 and low of 30 degrees. Sunny in the morning, fog for the afternoon, clear overnight.
This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
What is the citizen's petition about? I checked the town website, and the only information I could find on town meeting articles was from last year. The public hearing dates for 2026 are posted as February 24-25.
Apparently, you need to submit a public records request through the town's FOIA portal. What a shame, since it should have been posted to the town website upon certification of petition signatures.
Westwood Minute has obtained a copy of the petition and has added a short description of it to the article. A copy of the petition is attached below the article.
