Several of our juniors and seniors attended the Entrepreneurship Fair at Bristol Community College recently and were able to meet with small business owners in the local area.
Nicole Hall, the event coordinator, invited Westport Junior/Senior High School. Students were addressed by the President of BCC, Dr. Laura Douglas, and heard a variety of guest speakers. It was very informative and allowed our students to learn about what it takes to be a business owner.
Wildcat visit to WES
WES students were treated to a Halloween welcome by the Wildcat!
Students from Ms. Pereira's classroom at WJSHS visited Four Town Farm this week! They learned about life cycles of vegetables through a sensory walk of the farm, packaged carrots, and survived a corn maze! Students returned to school to make vegetable soup! Thank you to Farmer Ted and Farmer Lynn for sharing so much information about the ins and outs of your farm!
It’s National Walk to School Day and hundreds of thousands of students across the United States, including our Macomber Wildcats, have joined in the 23rd annual celebration! Our walk not only highlighted the importance of a safer and more active mode of transportation for youth, it was a great way to share Down Syndrome awareness, a cause near and dear to our hearts.
The Field Hockey team has been successful both on and off the field this past September. Throughout the month of September they had a variety of fundraisers in which they raised over $1800.00 for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness.
The team would like to thank the Westport School Community for all the support throughout the month during this
fundraiser as this cause is very close to their hearts. A special thank you to Nick's Pizza and the Wild Honey Cafe for the pizza and cookie dough donations!
The Mac School sets a positive tone for the new school year...
The Mac School is preparing to welcome our students back next week... they have created some positive messages for students and families to see as they enter the buildings.
Westport Prom 2019. The students all look great! Check out their line dancing skills (and see if you can spot some of our staff members joining in the fun)!
Today Macomber students wore "Silly Hats for Sydney." Sydney is a first grader who is currently experiencing some health issues. The students and staff wanted to do something to brighten her day! The school also raised money for the family. Macomber families and staff are amazing!
As part of their community outings program, students in Ms. Pereira's class at WJSHS visited many places in Westport this year. Recently, they visited the Handy House and Rapoza's Greenhouse. Students were able to learn about the history of Westport at the Handy House and get a hand's on experience of the past! When visiting Rapoza's Greenhouse, a popular local business, they were able to extend their learning about the life cycle of a plant to hands on skills where they planted vegetables, flowers and created flower arrangements. Thank you to all the community members who have welcomed them into their business for their support and generosity. Special Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Rapoza, for another great visit this year!
One more set of pictures from the WES/MAC PE Staff demonstrating students learning golf as part of a grant program through the PGA’s Massachusetts First Tee program. Thanks to Coach Oliveira from WJSHS and to our WES and Mac PE teachers (Ms. Tiexeira and Ms. Majhoory) for coordinating these exciting learning opportunities for our students.
On Friday, Ms. Loughlin (Molly's grandmother) visited Ms. Medeiros' class to plant tomatoes with the students. It is always great to have special guests in our schools!
Friday at the Macomber, students and staff celebrated JiJi's birthday. JiJi is the mascot of ST Math. They had cake, sang happy birthday, and teachers celebrated in different ways in their classrooms! Happy Birthday JiJi!
More updates from the China trip for our high school students... In this short video, students are participating in a calligraphy lesson.
