The School Committee recognized student‑athletes and coaches for a successful winter season and reviewed plans for spring athletics at the March 26 meeting.
Coaches and captains from boys varsity basketball (CMAC Division D champions), girls varsity soccer (CMAC Division E champions) and football reported season highlights and milestones: first conference wins in program history, improved records and multiple all‑star selections. The committee applauded the teams and discussed certificate presentations at a future meeting.
Athletic director Elizabeth Berard reported 161 spring participants districtwide and provided details: middle‑school track (38 students, grades 5–8), JV/varsity baseball and softball rosters, varsity track (52 athletes), and girls tennis (nine athletes). She also outlined a schedule of CMAC meets and post‑season qualification opportunities. Berard described outreach plans with town youth leagues (coaching/helping younger programs on Sundays and Friday nights) designed to grow the youth pipeline and strengthen community ties.
District staff also described field work and facilities readiness; ground crews and volunteers were credited for accelerating field availability this season. The committee discussed logistics, equipment needs and potential budget planning for durable equipment (e.g., utility vehicles) in future capital planning conversations.
No formal athletics policy or budget vote occurred; the committee noted the participation numbers and encouraged continued engagement with town programs.
