Wessagusset Weekly News
June 9, 2024
Dear Families,
This was an extra special week - Wessagusset Alumni visited to parade the halls before Graduation Day. We are so proud of all they have accomplished! Field Day was the highlight of the week, the month, and maybe even the year...it was AWESOME! Students, staff, and parents all had a great time competing, bonding, and spending time together. The dunk tank tradition did not disappoint! (Hopefully the dunk tank water in my ear dries out soon😉) THANK YOU to the incredible volunteers for all of their hard work, and to Mrs. Nicole Byrne and Mr. Clougherty for organizing such a fun, well-run event. We made memories that will last for a long time! Speaking of awesome, the 5K was a huge success! It was perfect way to come together as a community and raise funds for our school. Tom and Joanie Levett did an incredible job planning and coordinating - we are so grateful for their time and effort! The North Weymouth Civic Association took things to the next level with their wonderful North Weymouth Day event. How lucky are we to be part of such a special community!?
