Hello, neighbor!
I was trying to think of an uplifting rhyme or song for the beginning of the school year and couldn’t think of one. I have Alice Cooper’s iconic last-day hit in my mind, as well as that rhyme about teachers’ dirty looks (to which, as a teacher myself, I take issue), but I can’t think of an energizing tune in our collective body of cultural artifacts. If you can, leave it in the comments. I’ll share tomorrow!
At any rate, school starts tomorrow! So be prepared for morning and afternoon delays getting down Winn St., Francis Wyman, Wilmington Rd., Cambridge St., and - well - just about anywhere. I hope all our kiddos and their amazing teachers and school staff have a wonderful first day.
This week in Burlington
Busy week coming up ahead of Labor Day on 9/5 and the Primary on 9/6. Of note, early voting is going on now through Friday, September 2 - and the post office recommends you mail your mail-in ballot by Tuesday.

Aside from voting as mentioned above, and my trip to faraway lands, nothing yet. But I’m sure some things will be added as the week goes on.
That’s it for me for today. Best wishes to all our folks starting school tomorrow and I’ll see you soon!
Don’t forget to make a plan to vote!

And the Francis Wyman rd sewer line project. Which will affect Pine Glen, Marshall Simonds, Shawsheen High and BHS bus routes. Plus all the parents taking students to schools. “School Days dear old fashioned School Days”!
