Robinson School Project Update
Over the past few weeks, the project charter has begun to take shape with input from the building committee members and residents at our April 9th forum. These goals prioritize an inclusive, adaptable learning environment with practical, sustainable systems that deliver long-term value. All discussions have shared a focus on building community consensus with a comprehensive, long-term, town-wide facilities plan that reflects fiscal responsibility and considers options such as consolidation and minimizing student transitions.
Join us at upcoming forums—May 18 at Robinson School (7 PM) and a hybrid forum on June 11 at Millennium (7 PM). Register for the June 11 Zoom at https://tinyurl.com/RobinsonJune11. | Find more info at RobinsonSchoolProject.com

WA Athletic Boosters
Are you a parent of a student-athlete looking to get more involved in Westford Academy athletics? Consider joining the Westford Academy Athletic Boosters!
Our 501c3 non-profit organization supports all Westford Academy sports through fundraising events like fall and spring canning with teams, trivia night, and the snack shack at Friday night football games. These efforts directly benefit our athletes and programs.
Westford Academy Athletic Boosters contributions help fund senior athlete scholarships and provide teams with equipment and resources that may fall outside their budgets. In recent years, we’ve helped purchase an ice machine in the Coughlin Building for all athletes, new timing equipment for the Swim & Dive team, pinnies for Field Hockey, and contributed to the Softball scoreboard.
Joining the Westford Academy Athletic Boosters is a great way to support Westford Academy athletics while connecting with other parents in the community. There’s a role for everyone—whether you volunteer for a few hours at an event or take on a larger leadership position.
Interested in getting involved? Join us at our next meeting on Wed. May 13 at 7:00 PM in Room 101 at Westford Academy for our Bring-A-Friend night and Open House. Check out our website too. We’d love to have you!
