Spending Time at the Martinson Elementary School

I had a great day yesterday visiting with Dr. Scollins at the MES.  We had a wonderful time visiting classes throughout the building and seeing the wonderful things going on at every level.  Here's a few snapshots from the visit.

Marshfield School Committee Recognizes Ned Bangs

Earlier this week, I was able to join the School Committee in recognizing and honoring Marshfield's Recreation Director, Mr. Ned Bangs, as he prepares to step down from his role after 34 years of working with the children of Marshfield.  Ned has had an impact on generations of youngsters in this great town and he will be sorely missed.

Here's a photo of Ned, with the School Committee, after each member was able to share their thoughts on Ned.

Thank you Ned!

Visit To South River School

First Responders Night 2016- Friday, September 9th

The following is a note from Principal Keuther from MHS regarding a ceremony that will take place prior to the first football game on Friday, September 9th:

We will begin our evening at 6:30 PM with a celebration and recognition of our Town of Marshfield Police and Fire Departments, as we recognize the individuals who make our town a safe place. Included in our presentation will be the presentation of our Nations colors, a time for reflection and recognition of those who protect us and an opportunity to celebrate that we are part of the community of Marshfield.  At the conclusion of our pregame ceremony, we will celebrate with our community the debut of our cheerleading squad, our marching band and our high school football team.

WE ARE MARSHFIELD is our cry!

Please plan to attend.
