Friday Memo :: May 8, 2026

Dear Families,

Thank you for your support of Cradles to Crayons. 

The weather has been so stormy this year. In the winter, it's so cold and everyone needs to be safe. In this community, we are taking care of each other when we find clothes to donate.  Cradles to Crayons helps a lot of families, and it is such a good program. It really helps with clothes in all four seasons.   

John Lewis stated, “To every young person, if you come together with a mission, and it's grounded with love and a sense of community, you can make the impossible possible.” 

Every little thing can make every hard thing easier. It can make the impossible possible.

Similarly, Malala Yousafzai writes, ”You will never know who stands with you, if you don't stand up first.”  Sometimes we have to push ourselves.  That push can make the impossible possible.

Thank you for your support of Cradles to Crayons. 

Sincerely, 

Project 351 Club and Bromfield Class of 2030

The online application for SUN Bucks (formerly Summer EBT) is now open. This federal food benefit program provides a $120 lump-sum summer benefit per school-aged child for income-eligible families. SUN Bucks income eligibility standards are the same as the National School Lunch Program (NSLP)—all enrolled students identified as meeting the income eligibility standards for free or reduced-price lunch during school year 2025-26, either through an NSLP household paper application or direct certification, are automatically eligible for SUN Bucks. Students identified as homeless, migrant, runaway, or participating in Head Start are also automatically eligible. The program is administered by the state Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) in partnership with DESE with assistance from schools. Find details and learn how to apply on the SUN Bucks website.
