Shoutout to the Town of Wellesley's Facilities Management Department on National Custodians Day. WPS thanks you for all you do to look out for our students and keep our buildings clean, safe, and running smoothly!

Celebrate walk, ride, and roll to school day this Wednesday 10/4 by ditching your car and walking or biking to school or work! Ideas: Set up a walking school bus; if you live too far from school to walk the entire way, drive partway and walk the last 15 minutes.

Note to Sprague and WMS Families: Starting today, Highland Road from Oak Street to Pine Tree Road will be milled and repaved. The Road will be closed through Oct. 11.  Please plan accordingly.

A must-read. Thank you Daily News Sports - and way to go Lily!
