Weekend Buzz | How to Be a Write-In Candidate

Good Morning, Burlington!

The Buzz is here this weekend with some quick hits:

Be a Write-In Candidate

The local election is coming up in just four weeks! We are shaping up to have a full ballot in town-wide elections, but unfortunately there are a few seats that remain open for Town Meeting members. If you didn’t get a chance to return nomination papers, or if you waited too long to decide, never fear! You can still run as a write-in candidate, and the process is pretty simple. Here are some details from Town Clerk, Amy Warfield:





BPS Homework Helpers

BPS Homework Helpers is a program where high school students can earn community service hours by tutoring middle school students after school. The program, run by retired BPS teacher, Marcia Murphy, has been going strong for seven years. If you’re interested in your child participating in this program, you can get more information and contact Marcia at the link above.

Adopt-a-Class 2034 Wants to Sweeten Your Spring

The Class of 2034 is holding a candy fundraiser to support the Burlington Community Scholarship Foundation’s Dollars for Scholars initiative, and orders are due by March 23rd. Find more information below or visit the Class of 2034 Facebook page. There will also be a parent meeting next Wednesday, March 8, at the Made in Burlington store. They’re seeking parents of current first graders to support their efforts, and specifically Pine Glen families.

Sports Update

The boys’ basketball team won their first playoff game in Canton last night 62-50 and will play #3 seed, Sharon, in the Round of 16 next Tuesday at 6:00.

The girls’ hockey team will play their own Round of 16 today at noon in Winchester.

Stay warm and safe today; hopefully the snow doesn’t hamper your weekend plans!

Until tomorrow,
