Which side do you fall on?

Among residents’ concerns are overflowing trash bins and foul odors from soiled diapers, meat wrappers, and pet waste sitting in trash bins for two weeks. Many said they worry this will exacerbate current rat infestations, while others said it will create rat problems in new areas.

That is a field trip I would have loved to take🙂

Our eighth-grade Spanish students enjoyed an exciting learning experience yesterday during their recent visit to El Tacuba, a vibrant Mexican restaurant right here in Medford! 🌮🌯

Guided by Señora Maria and Señora Asmar, students walked from their middle schools to the restaurant, ready to put their Spanish skills into action. Once inside, students confidently ordered their meals completely in Spanish. They not only savored delicious Latin cuisine, but also embraced the opportunity to practice real-world speaking and listening skills in an authentic cultural setting.

It was a day filled with learning, laughter, and flavor ¡Una experiencia maravillosa para todos!

That was quite an interesting little test of wills

After two weeks of bickering, Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn and the City Council have reached an agreement in regard to the Salem Street corridor and both parties got what they wanted.
