Inspiration for the mural came from the paintings of Contemporary Folk artist Valerie McCaffrey of Beverly. Prints of her Wenham in All Seasons oil painting, commissioned by the Wenham Museum in 2015, are available on their website, and all involved wish to thank the Museum for introducing these children to her art! The 375th Anniversary mural, including a graphic replica of our original Town Seal, was originally created for a float in Wenham’s 375th Anniversary Parade on September 8, 2018. The mural is now presented to the Town of Wenham by the two families who created it for display during our anniversary year. Refurbished Town Seal by Lara Molnar Design Many thanks to the Town Staff, Volunteers, and Residents who kindly allowed their photos to be featured in the Annual Town Report! For more Wenham photos, check out the gallery on the Town website. 1 Wenham’s 375th Anniversary In 2018, the Town of Wenham celebrated its 375th Anniversary! The Board of Selectmen appointed a Committee in 2017 that was charged with planning programs, events, and activities in recognition of this major milestone. The 375th Anniversary Committee surpassed all expectations with family-friendly, educational, social, and competitive events from November 2017 through December 2018. All of the events led up to the 375th Anniversary Parade and Community Day on September 8, 2018. This edition of the Annual Town Report features photos and memories of the 375th Celebration, but it also serves as a thank you to the volunteers, staff, and community members who came together to recognize Wenham, its history, and the people who make it a great community to live and work in. To view more photos, visit the 375th Anniversary Facebook page or check out the 375th Anniversary Commemorative Book, which will include all of the writing, art, and logo contest entries.

  • 2013-2014 Legislative Scorecard

    2013-2014 Legislative Scorecard

    Legislative Scorecard Votes and Leadership 2013-14 LEGISLATIVE SESSION - 1 - This is the inaugural edition of the Environmental League of Massachusetts legislative scorecard. We produced this scorecard to inform citizens about how their legislators voted on important environmental issues. We are pleased and grateful for the support of so many environmental leaders in the legislature. The scorecard relies first on roll call votes on legislation that deals with environmental and energy issues. Because there are so few roll call votes each session—and often these votes are unanimous—we have scored additional actions by legislators to further distinguish environmental champions. Bonus points were awarded to legislators who introduced bills that were ELM priorities or who introduced important amendments, particularly budget amendments to increase funding for state environmental agencies. In addition, we subtracted points for legislators who introduced legislation or amendments that we opposed. We want to recognize leadership and courage, in addition to votes, and have made every attempt to be fair and transparent in our scoring. Much happens during the legislative process that is impractical to score such as committee redrafts, committee votes to move or hold a bill, and measures that would improve flawed legislation. We have not attempted to include these actions, but we recognize that they greatly influence the process and outcomes. None of the bills or amendments scored here should be a surprise to legislators in terms of ELM’s support or opposition. Going forward, ELM will include votes and other actions that support additional revenues for transportation and promote transit, walking and biking. George Bachrach, President Erica Mattison, Legislative Director Highlights of the Session projects.

    UPDATE THE BOTTLE BILL YES! I pledge to help. The Bottle Bill (5¢ deposit on some beverage containers) is the single most successful recycling tool in the country. But the Updated Bottle Bill­­—adding water, juice and sports drinks to the deposits—is being blocked by powerful business interests on Beacon Hill. The Updated Bottle Bill (H890/S1650) will reduce litter, increase recycling, and save cities and towns money in trash disposal and litter cleanup. In fact, 208 cities and towns, 375 small businesses, and 90 state and local organizations have endorsed our campaign and joined the effort to pass this bill. Despite this overwhelming support, the Updated Bottle Bill has been “bottled up” in the Legislature for more than a decade. It has never been brought to the floor for a vote, and we need your help now. No more delays! Here’s how you can help: STEP 1: To find out the name of your representative and senator, go to www.WhereDoIVoteMA.com STEP 2: Find out where your legislators stand on the Updated Bottle Bill. See the back of this flyer for a complete guide. STEP 3: Call your state senator and representative today. The State House main number is (617) 722- 2000. Ask for your senator (and then call back and ask for your representative). Tell them: “I am a voter in (name your town) and I support the Updated Bottle Bill. There should be no more delays, this bill needs to come up for a vote now.” (If your legislator supports the Updated Bottle Bill, make sure to thank them, if they are undecided or not supporting the bill, ask them to consider supporting the bill.) STEP 4: After you call, please email [email protected] to let us know your legislator’s response.

  • An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England

    An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England, We, the heads of independent schools, comprising 176 schools in the New England region, stand in solidarity with our students and with the families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The heart of our nation has been broken yet again by another mass shooting at an American school. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died and are grieving for the loss of life that occurred. We join with our colleagues in public, private, charter, independent, and faith-based schools demanding meaningful action to keep our students safe from gun violence on campuses and beyond. Many of our students, graduates, and families have joined the effort to ensure that this issue stays at the forefront of the national dialogue. We are all inspired by the students who have raised their voices to demand change. As school leaders we give our voices to this call for action. We come together out of compassion, responsibility, and our commitment to educate our children free of fear and violence. As school leaders, we pledge to do all in our power to keep our students safe. We call upon all elected representatives - each member of Congress, the President, and all others in positions of power at the governmental and private-sector level – to take action in making schools less vulnerable to violence, including sensible regulation of fi rearms. We are adding our voices to this dialogue as a demonstration to our students of our own commitment to doing better, to making their world safer.

The MIT Beaver Works Summer Institute is a rigorous, world-class STEM program for talented rising high school seniors. The 2019 program featured ten project-based, workshop- style courses: Autonomous RACECAR Grand Prix, Autonomous Air Vehicle Racing, Autonomous Cognitive Assistant, Data Science for Health and Medicine, Build a CubeSat, UAS-SAR, Embedded Security and Hardware Hacking, Hack a 3D Printer, Assistive Technologies Hack-a-thon, and Remote Sensing for Disaster Response. This year’s MIT Beaver Works Summer Institute was a complete success thanks to the enthusiasm of our students, the dedication of our instructors, and the hard work of our team members. We partnered with 140 high schools to recruit the future engineers who participated in our program. We had the pleasure of working with 239 high school students, 143 of whom joined our program from outside Massachusetts. We also inaugurated the first BWSI middle school class with 24 Massachusetts middle school students taking a specially tailored RACECAR course. In the coming years, we will integrate new programs into this initiative, increasing participation substantially. We will support high school STEM teachers who use our teaching materials to help better prepare their students for college and beyond. We will also help other universities and high schools create similar programs, working to build a network of institutes to collectively improve engineering education worldwide.

Thanks to your kindness, generosity and support, our 33rd year in service was a tremendous success. It is difficult to capture everything that transpired and the whirlwind of events that took place during our 2017 campaign. In reflecting back over the year, we were fortunate to experience many achievements, receive a number of accolades and create special moments and cherished memories. Camp Sunshine offered 22 programs and served 637 families (2,505 family members) from 46 states and 5 countries. We enhanced our outreach by visiting hospitals, clinics and fairs across the country and by partnering with Tropical Smoothie Café, placing information about Camp Sunshine in each of their cafes. The highlight was the unveiling of the Sunshine Smoothie & Sunshine Cup. We also expanded our transportation assistance program to families in need, thanks to the generosity of Hands on Tzedakah, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Noyes Brain Tumor Foundation, SEALs for Sunshine, Windham Automotive (Ron Eby), John & Ann Ewalt, Tropical Smoothie Café, and Texas Roadhouse. In fact, you may have even seen our branded van or bus on the road during your travels.

    S. 2325 Lead Sponsor: Senator Sonia Chang-Díaz

    AN ACT MODERNIZING THE FOUNDATION BUDGET FOR THE 21ST CENTURY S. 2325 Lead Sponsor: Senator Sonia Chang-Díaz THE PROBLEM: Every day, students across Massachusetts walk into schools that are facing dire challenges. Over the last decade, school districts have been forced to make difficult cuts year after year. Classrooms across the state have lost critical services and programs, including social- emotional supports like counselors, wrap-around services, resources like technology and books, professional development, arts classes, and preschool programs. On top of these cuts, Massachusetts has one of the worst achievement gaps in the United States – ranking 48th nationally for the achievement gap between affluent and poor students. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. In 1993, Massachusetts passed the Education Reform Act— which established the “Foundation Budget” to make sure all school districts could provide their students with a quality education. Unfortunately, in the 25 years since, we have done little to update the formula, and it’s now outdated, hampering districts’ efforts to provide each student with the quality education they deserve. The 2015 Foundation Budget Review Commission (FBRC) found that health care and special education costs have far surpassed assumptions built into the original formula. The FBRC also found that the original formula drastically understated the resources necessary to close achievement gaps for low-income and English Language Learner students. In all, the bipartisan commission of experts found that Massachusetts is underestimating the cost of education by $1-2 billion every year THE SOLUTION: To make good on our bedrock promise of providing every student in Massachusetts with equal access to quality education, we need to significantly revise the foundation budget formula.
