FRAMINGHAM It s down to two.
On Friday, the School Committee released its finalists for what will be the new name for the Woodrow Wilson Elementary School: Harmony Grove Elementary School and Ruby Bridges Elementary School.
Harmony Grove was an area on the shores of Farm Pond where anti-slavery and suffragist rallies were held. Its natural amphitheater hosted rallies and speeches from famous social justice activists to promote women s rights and the anti-slavery movement, according to a presentation for next week s School Committee meeting.
From 1846 to 1865, it served as a gathering place for the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, which held a large anti-slavery rally there every Fourth of July. Then, on July 4, 1874, there was a suffrage convention there with speakers questioning the Declaration of Independence, as women had to pay taxes even though they could not vote.
(CALmatters) – Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday touted the state’s progress in reopening schools, even as California continues to offer its students the least amount of in-person learning in the country.

At a press conference at a Sonoma County elementary school that had reopened two days before, the governor said that more than 9,000 of the state’s 11,000 schools have already welcomed students back to campus or plan to do so soon. That’s about the same figure he cited a month ago. As of Wednesday, only 62% of elementary students, 37% of middle school students and 39% of high school students had the option of receiving some level of in-person instruction, according to a Los Angeles Times analysis of state data.
