Eligible students must submit a completed application with essay by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 7. https://www.doe.mass.edu/scholarships/senate/default.html

Westfield often scored in the blink of an eye during their high school football season opener Friday night at Amherst with two scoring plays of 49 yards or better and five plays of 21 yards or better, but it all added up to one long, drawn-out “W”. Amherst opened the game with a bruising 15-play, 59-yard scoring drive that ate up an astounding eight minutes, 58 seconds. Save for a third quarter score, it was all the Hurricanes could muster though as Westfield stormed past the visitors, 42-15. https://www.masslive.com/westfieldnews/2022/09/westfield-football-spoils-amhersts-friday-night-football-opener.html

Westfield won its second league game in as many days with its second straight shutout, a 7-0 win over visiting Mahar. Shea Hurley got the scoring started and then it was all Meghan Bowen (3 goals) and Gabi Ritter (3 goals), scoring off of rebounds and passes from teammates Norah Bargatti and Karlie Shea. “Mahar did not make it easy for us as they played good defense in the circle and really clogged the middle,” Westfield field hockey coach Jenn Oakland said. “We had to really work the ball around on the outside and find our chances to make quality circle entries.” https://www.masslive.com/westfieldnews/2022/09/the-westfield-news-scoreboard-bombers-field-hockey-posts-second-straight-shutout-more.html

Westfield High School Director of Choral Activities Korey Bruno can’t contain her excitement about the new Yamaha GCI 5 foot, 3 inch baby grand piano in her classroom, purchased through School Choice funds at the end of last year. “Our superintendent rocks!” Bruno said. https://www.masslive.com/westfieldnews/2022/09/westfield-high-school-chorus-tuning-up-for-year-with-new-baby-grand-piano.html
