For #InternationalWomensDay we salute Henrietta Brown Durkee. The daughter of Benjamin Brown, she was the first woman to graduate from @TuftsUniversity in 1893 (& later earned 2 Masters in chemistry and history)

Breaking barriers, she continues to inspire Brown Elementary girls!

It was a beautiful, clear night for a telescope sky party at our local school. Great views of the Moon, nebulae, and Jupiter (with Galilean moons visible!)

[Brown School PTA @Brown_PTA]

Thank you @svilletheatre for supporting your local schools. From U2 to Norah Jones to the 3rd grade recorder orchestra, many great acts have graced this stage. What an amazing community we have in @SomervilleCity.

Stand with the Winter Hill Wildcats!

Here's one way you can help directly support the Winter Hill community as they struggle to hold their community together in the wake of the WHCIS concrete ceiling collapse and multi-site relocation.

@davidwade @MikeMass2020 @bostonradio @HowieCarrShow @davidwade Was this the Brown School Christmas tree lot fire, the sanding machine fire, or a different one? We'd love to have you share some Brown School history with the kids, fire or otherwise.🔥🔥

@somfdlocal76 Thank you for helping us get to 123 years!

🧵On 26 May 2023, students at @NewRoadsK12 —the California elementary school @TheAmandaGorman attended—presented a reading of The Hill We Climb in response to the removal of the book from school library shelves in Miami-Dade County in Florida.

Thank you for an amazing evening, @svilletheatre!

Thanks to @maura_healey and @AyannaPressley for coming by our bake sale, supporting our local public schools, and taking a moment to discuss democracy with our next generation of leaders.

[Brown School PTA @Brown_PTA]

Thanks to the entire Somerville community, esp. our volunteers, for coming out to support our PTA Election Day bake sale. @katjballantyne bought some delicious baked treats made by @KristenEStrezo and many of our amazing families, and the kids got to meet some special guests!

A few weeks ago, Principal Maguire, @SomervilleCity staff members, & @TheBenjaminGBr1 parents/guardians joined #srts OC @mattapanviv in observing morning arrival. It’s always great to see collaboration between schools & municipalities! @Brown_PTA @SvilleSchools @massdot

@SomervilleInfr1 Is this available for recess?

[Brown School PTA @Brown_PTA]

We have a monarch caterpillar!

[Brown School PTA @Brown_PTA]

Ugh, it is now our understanding that this went beyond sticky shoes and that students came home with it on their clothes and skin. We have urgently requested that @SomervilleCity provide complete transparency.

[Brown School PTA @Brown_PTA]

How it started vs. how it's going.

[Brown School PTA @Brown_PTA]

Lastly:
"A lot of kids are tripping on the playground and getting hurt."

City: "Probably excessive speeding. We'll put a speedbump through the hopscotch to slow them down."
