The Owl is out of office but had to share the exciting news. As an owlet would text me — “LFG!!!!!” There is absolutely nothing like pond skating. Send me photos, Weston! Please note with this week’s warming trend, this may be THE day.. Carpe Diem!
Read moreAs a top-10 “I did not expect this email today”, the Recreation Department wins by sending a communication to remind everyone that when things actually get cold here, you should not assume the ice is skateable at College Pond. Now, my immediate instinct is to say – I think everyone knows that it is not skateable right now. Right? That
Read moreWhat does a puppy photo have to do with Community Preservation Act funds in Weston? Absolutely nothing, but I still remember from marketing classes at that most purple of MBA schools that cute animal marketing is the way to go to get eyes on an ad or post. Think of the Budweiser puppy. How to make a really bad beer
Read moreThere are still some lesson times available with the Weston Skating Club, which uses the ice at Rivers School for all the crashing and skidding around. The Weston Skating Club provides lessons, family skate and men’s hockey with all activities starting up on December 3.

Read moreThe senior class powderpuff team has their annual game against Weston’s biggest rival, Wayland, on Wednesday November 22. Wayland is like Michigan’s OSU, like Harvard’s Yale, like…ummm…okay, I am so out of analogies.

Read moreThe Turkey Bowl is Sunday at 5 pm and you are all invited to cheer on your favorite team. Will it be Police? Fire? Dads? Mystery student team? It doesn’t matter because everyone is a ‘cat except K9 Knox – he’s a dog and probably disqualified. Please come, and donate to help support our local Police and Fire Relief Associations.
