The Record Weekly: Elementary, my dear Norwood

The Record Weekly

Sep 6, 2026

Hello, neighbors! 🌞

We hope you are enjoying the long weekend and are settling into the new school year.

Our latest issue is packed with all sorts of local news and stories - from the big crowd at Norwood Day (more than 10K attendees! 🎉) to the unveiling of the 'Many Stories, One Norwood' mural on Washington Street.

We are also following the ongoing debate over elementary school study causing some friction in the School Committee.

And we caught up with some exciting election results, including Persis Yu's win in the Massachusetts State Senate primary.

If you're feeling inspired to get outside and give back, we've got details on this year's Neponset River Fall Cleanup - just one of many ways to pitch in.

A special thank-you to our sponsor, Raising Stars. Raising Stars is opening a brand-new location right here in Norwood, with programs for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, and they're now enrolling! If you're looking for care for your little one, now's a great time to reach out and learn more.

Thank you for reading. Here is what we published this week.
