Last week, our cafeterias were transformed into a local BBQ smokehouse! We treated students at the Elementary Schools on Thursday and the MS/HS on Friday to a true labor of love: 16-hour slow-cooked beef brisket.
We started by hand-rubbing each cut with a signature blend of mustard and savory spices before letting it cook low and slow until it was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Even better? We’re proud to partner with our neighbors at Weatherlow Farms in Westport, MA, to bring high-quality, grass-fed beef straight from their pastures to our students' plates!
On March 2 we celebrated Dr. Seuss’s Birthday with a Green Eggs and Ham meal at the Franklin Elementary Schools. We also did a lucky tray and gave out Dr. Seuss books as prizes. Our staff joined in the fun and dressed up like Cat in the Hat!

After the visit, when connecting with teachers, they all echoed the same sentiments. They commented on how passionate, well-prepared, and confident the students were, and how naturally they connected with our second graders. The lesson was engaging and interactive, and it was clear how much care and preparation went into their work.
I value these partnerships and growing opportunities for students to connect across grade levels. Experiences like this are incredibly meaningful.
