  • Town of Norwood Annual Report.Pmd
    NORWOOD 2003 ANNUAL TOWN REPORT DEDICATION The Norwood Board of Selectmen dedicates this year’s annual report to the many volunteers who without constraint or guarantee, give their services to provide our town its warmth and strong sense of community. We speak of those among us who labor for the causes promoted by the town’s many charitable and civic organizations to assist, and better the lives of our neighbors in need — organizations such as The Circle of Hope, Relay for Life, and the Norwood Scholarship Foundation to name a few. They are joined by those who organize community festivities like the Fourth of July Day Celebration and Parade, the Norwood Day Celebration, Concerts on the Common, and Summerfest. The extraordinary efforts of these citizens, along with those who serve our Town in the many volunteer elected and appointed government positions make Norwood a wonderful community, a community truly worthy of the title, “Crown Jewel of the Commonwealth”. Respectfully submitted, William J. Plasko William J. Plasko, Chairman Gary M. Lee Helen Abdallah Donohue Denis M. Drummey Gerard J. Kelleher Board of Selectmen 1 COVER Howard Style Post Clock installed in December, 2002 as part of Public Works Economic Development Grant Program.

    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OFFICIALS Z FY 2003 Y Compiled and Formatted by: Suzanne L. Kane Cover Photo by: Patrick J. Colonero Inside Photo by: Suzanne Kane [ Printed by: Palsons, Worcester, MA [ Also available: www.douglasma.org 2 TOWN OF DOUGLAS ANNUAL REPORT [ Fiscal Year 2003 3 4 Dedication \ This Years Annual Fiscal Report is proudly dedicated to our Service men, women, and their families. Those currently serving; and those who have served in the past. A Soldiers Poem I am a caring mother; my son has gone to war. My mind is filled with worries I have never known before. Everyday I try to keep my thoughts from turning black. I may be scared but I am proud, my son has got your back. I'm a strong and loving wife with a husband soon to go. There are times I 'm terrified in a way most never know. I bite my lip and force a smile as I watch my husband pack. My heart my break but I am proud my husband’s got your back. I am a soldier serving proudly standing tall. I fight for freedom yours and mine by answering this call. I do my job while knowing, the thanks that sometimes lacks. Say a prayer that I'll come home it's me that's got your back. I'm a small and precious child, my Dad’s been sent to fight. The only place I'll see his face is in my dreams at night. He'll be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track.

I must learn only in certain ways, and only between 8 am and 3pm, 5 days a week, until I am 18... ...so why does it still feel like 1910? If we are to address issues of equity and meet the economic and social challenges we face as a society, we must make good on the promise of education and prepare all students with the skills and knowledge they’ll need for full participation in postsecondary education, work, and life. At the Nellie Mae Education Foundation, we believe high-quality, student-centered approaches to learning are the key to preparing young people for success during and after high school. These approaches acknowledge that people learn in different ways, at different times, and at different rates in a variety of school and community settings. In these approaches, learning becomes the constant and where, when, and how it happens - as well as who the adults are that facilitate it – become the variables. We are excited to work with the education, non-profit, business and policy communities to grow approaches that will make good on the promise of education by putting students at the center of learning.
