i remember my son made a card for a new boy a few years back.
it seemsa shame that kids are so wrapped up in their own little world thay have thier heads in the sand.
this is a wondewrful town
i actually grew up here.
yes, things have changed- but there are still some beautiful aspects to this town
i hope things have gotten better for your family and yor children.

i am happy to report he is in the 9th grade at the academy and having a blast running cross country and making lots of new friends.
There are lots of fun events in town
UPCOMING - The Roudenbush Auction - Nov
The WEFF dinner dance - April 5th ( this years theme in 'Under the Tuscan Sky' w a top raffle item of a trip for 2 to Tuscany ( Westford Education Foudation)

I am so happy for you and your family that your transition went smoothly, thats great! Though I do hope you do not teach your children to be so judgemental.
Julie, I actually received a flyer for the newcomers the day after you posted your blog, thank you. I may have overlooked it had you not mentioned it.
Linda, thank you for your blog as well, you are right saying it takes time, things are improving everyday.
