It has been another busy week at Governor Winslow School. Thanks to our PTO for funding wonderful enrichment programs this week. Second graders participated in the North and South Rivers Watershed Program. Today, all students were excited to learn about sharks during the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy presentation.

We were thrilled to have our police and fire departments greeting our students and staff this morning for High Five Friday. Thank you to our high school seniors for giving back to our school community by beautifying our gardens through the We Are Marshfield project, as well.

We are so proud to be part of such an outstanding Marshfield community.
