The Governor Winslow School Community has a special bond with our Veterans in Marshfield. Our students and staff appreciate their service, and we honor them throughout the year. This Veterans' Day, we made thank you cards for Veterans in appreciation for the sacrifices they made for our country. In lieu of homework this weekend, our students and staff have been asked to thank Veterans and to honor them by attending our Veterans' Day Parade on November 11 at 10:30AM. To all those who have served, it is with love and appreciation that our Governor Winslow School family wishes you a wonderful Veterans' Day weekend!

I wanted to let you know that once again, in honor of Veterans Day, the Marshfield Public Schools will be Homework Free over the Veterans Day weekend.

We started this tradition eight years ago and going “homework free”, in conjunction with Veterans Day has been greatly appreciated by students and staff, our families and, most importantly, our Veterans.

The district continues to focus attention on the social-emotional well-being of our students and staff, and by adjusting their homework schedule for Veterans Day, so that nothing is assigned over the Veterans Day weekend, we are making an impact on our educational stakeholders. Annually, the issue of homework is one that has generated discussion across the region and it has been reported to teachers and administrators that schedules and stress levels tend to grow as the year progresses. We hope that these homework free nights can help relieve some of that stress.

More importantly, each year we have used this time away from homework to allow our students and staff, and their families, to focus on the importance of recognizing Veterans Day. In lieu of homework, it is our hope that members of our school community, as they have done each year, will find the time on Veterans Day (or over the weekend) to thank a Veteran they may know for their service to our country. The person they reach out to could be a relative, a neighbor or a friend.

In addition, if members of our school community can attend the Veterans Day Parade & Ceremony on November 11th at Veterans Memorial Park, I know that the dedicated group of men and women, who have given so much to our country would greatly appreciate the gesture. As a district, we like to say “WeRMarshfield” and this simple gesture is just one more example of our community coming together to honor some very special people.
