What I like about my internship with East Harwich Market is that I get to work with day to day tasks with multiple people. I get to talk to sales representatives from companies like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Plar, J Polep and many other vendors. At my internship I get to learn about marketing products for profits, pay bills, fill out applications for licenses or renew them and much more.

Senior Internship at the Harwich Recreation Department
I’ve been an intern with the Harwich Recreation Department since the fall and I’ve really enjoyed it. What I like most about the experience is that every day is something new. We’ve worked on making videos for social media about upcoming programs or activities. I dressed up as “Sandy the Seal” for a funny video about Halloween, which I never thought I’d do… I’ve helped make posters so parents know about different events. My summer job for the past 2 years has been as a recreation counselor so I know the value of engaging our youth with healthy and fun activities. This has been a perfect internship for me. Because my mentor knows I play varsity tennis, he gave me the opportunity to teach kids tennis last summer which was very rewarding. Thank you Harwich Recreation for a great internship.

Dear Families,
I am writing to share some important information about an initiative that Sharing Kindness is offering our district: a school-based peer grief support group.
We all recognize that the loss of a significant person—whether a family member, friend, or other close individual—can be a deeply challenging and life-altering experience. For children, youth, and teens, the impact of grief can be even more profound, as they navigate their feelings and try to understand their emotions, often without fully knowing how to process such intense pain. Whether the loss occurred recently or years ago, the grieving process is complex, and every individual experiences it differently.
While grief can be isolating, it is crucial for children to know they are not alone. A peer grief support group at school provides a safe, empathic, confidential space where children can connect with others who have experienced similar losses. In these groups, they can openly express their emotions, share their stories, and realize their feelings are valid. Talking to peers who truly understand can foster healing, build resilience, and help children feel supported as they work through their grief.
A school-based support group also benefits children by offering guidance from trained facilitators (a licensed clinician and a trained volunteer) who can help them navigate the difficult emotions that often accompany grief. These groups allow for an open dialogue where coping skills and healthy emotional expression are explored, which can have a lasting, positive impact on their mental well-being. This setting allows your child to be supported in a familiar and comfortable environment.
We know grief doesn't have a timeline, and it can resurface at unexpected moments. Participation in a peer grief support group gives your child access to ongoing support, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
As parents and caregivers, you play an irreplaceable role in supporting your child through this time, but it can be difficult to know how to help them process their grief as you are navigating your own. A school-based support group offers an additional layer of support, which can complement the love and care you provide at home. I strongly encourage you to consider the benefits of a peer grief support group for your child. It could be an invaluable step toward helping them understand and process their emotions in a healthy, supportive way.
If you have any questions or would like more information about the program, please don't hesitate to reach out. Together, we can provide your child with the care and understanding they need during this challenging time.
