As the term came to a close Mr. Ennis’ American Legal class was able to make time for some guest speakers including 2 former WB grads, Nick Fisher and Megan Beyer. Nick shared his journey through undergrad and law school as well as his experience currently as a paralegal at Vieira & DiGianfilippo Ltd. Megan currently co-owns her own firm Kelliher & Beyer, LLP and spoke about her journey to becoming a lawyer and her various forms of work in Land court, arbitration, research in human trafficking and her current work in family law. A third guest speaker, Hillary Thompson, also came in to talk about her job as a Crime Analysts for the Brockton Police Department. She explained the many aspects of her job including how she works with many surrounding police departments including West Bridgewater. These guest speakers provide great insight into real world applications of the law and legal study.
As we head into summer, we encourage families to take time to relax, recharge, and reflect on the year. Here are a few fun and meaningful ways to enjoy the break together:
1. Explore local activities – Check out local parks, libraries, museums, or free summer events in your community. Even a neighborhood hike or farmers' market visit can spark great conversations and memories.
2. Try a new hobby or skill – Summer is the perfect time to learn something new, like cooking, drawing, coding, or even starting a small DIY project. Encourage your student to pursue something just for fun!
3. Volunteer as a family – Giving back together can be a rewarding way to stay connected and active. Many local organizations welcome teen and family volunteers during the summer months.
