This Saturday May 2nd the Drury High School Small Business Artists from Mr. Brown (Math) and Ms. Hartlage's (Art) PBL course, Culture of Creativity/Entrepreneurship, participated in a real-world vending experience by setting up at the last indoor Maker's Market of the season at Hotel Downstreet. Each student who attended the market actively made sales of their handmade products created during this Semester 2 course. Products included altered upcycled clothing, quilted potholders, candles, leather crafted items, pins, original paintings, and bouquets of "forever flowers". Come check these artists' creations out on June 11th at Drury High School in the Library where they will be set up before Student Recognition Night!

There was an incredible energy in the air as we officially broke ground on this exciting project this afternoon. Mayor Macksey captured the spirit of the moment in her remarks: "As we break ground today, it's very important that we remember this is about our future ... we can achieve anything when we invest in what matters most: our children."
Members of the School Building Committee, School Committee, and some future Greylock students put ceremonial "first shovels" in the ground together. This new building represents our commitment to providing our students with brand new facilities, 21st-century learning spaces, and will lay the foundation for a bright future. We're grateful for the leadership, community support, and vision that made this moment possible and look forward to building something amazing together! 🏗️✨
We were thrilled to showcase the incredible artwork created by our talented 5th and 6th-grade students over April break!
Thank you to everyone who visited and supported our students!🌟

✅ Hazardous material abatement complete & cleared ✅ North/east building demolition underway ✅ Perimeter fencing & access gates installed ✅ Structural elements on the property removed or relocated ✅ Site grading & foundation prep in progress
What's next: Continued demolition, debris hauling, excavation for foundations, and increased equipment on-site. 🏗️

I wanted to get my child support, but...
❌ ...the waitlist was 3 months long
❌ ...I couldn't afford it
❌ ...the appointments were only during school or work hours
❌ ...I couldn't find a therapist who speaks our language
We hear you. These barriers are real—and they shouldn't stand between your child and support.
That's why we partnered with Cartwheel:
✅ Appointments within days, not months
✅ Free for families with Medicaid; in-network with most private insurance
✅ Virtual sessions from 3pm-8pm and weekends
✅ Care available in Spanish and other languages
