New Panthers Pals and Unified Track programs

We am excited to announce the start of two new programs at our school -- Panther Pals and Unified Track & Field. This is a great opportunity for students with and without disabilities to make our school a more inclusive place and join life-changing groups!

Panther Pals

Panther Pals is similar to Best Buddies. It will be a group that meets once a month after school to foster one-to-one friendships and leadership development for people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. Additionally, there will be some bigger events held at night.

This club will hold its first meeting after school on Thursday, February 7. All are welcome, but we are are asking that students and parents complete sign up on FamilyID prior to the first meeting.

Click on the registration link for Panther Pals and follow instructions from there. It should take between 15-20 minutes. There is NO COST for Panther pals.

Basketball raises money and brings cards to Carly

The girls basketball team led a school-wide effort for create Christmas cards for Carly Silva, a 12-year-old Weymouth hockey player who has been recently diagnosed with cancer and would love to receive some Christmas cards. She will be undergoing treatment for the next two years and spent her Christmas at Children's Hospital. 

Students throughout the high school created Christmas cards during Panther Block, and fans from Ayer Shirley and Littleton created cards during the dual varsity games on Dec. 21. AD Steve Kendall also directed a 50/50 raffle that raised $111, which the athletic department matched, to go towards Carly's Go Fund Me page. 

Coach Pete Page hand-delivered the cards to Carly and her mom on Saturday, December 22. Check out the video the team made:

Carly Silva has been diagnosed with cancer and will be going through treatment for the next two years. She’ll be spending her Christmas at Boston Children’s Hospital.

After she wasn’t feeling like herself, doctors determined that Carly has a large malignant tumor pressing on major blood vessels leading into her heart.
