Our first Fitness Friday of the school year, hosted by Kane Elementary School, kicked off today! These events are open to all students and families of Kane School who want to walk or bike to school together, with guidance from our school leadership, crossing guards, and the Marlborough Police Department.

Meet us every Friday during the school year at 8:20 a.m. at the Wayside Athletic Club parking lot to get some steps in and build community with other students and families.

Today, we pause to remember the victims and honor the heroes of September 11, 2001—a day that holds immense significance in our nation's history.

We reflect on the courage, compassion and resilience that emerged on 9/11 and in the days that followed. We will never forget, and we will always remember.
