Bill Littlefield, host of NPR's 'Only A Game', will talk about the place of sports in our students' lives

Bill Littlefield, host of NPR’s Only A Game, and Needham father of two, will talk about the place of sports in our students’ lives. Popular sports culture may rule life in your house, or may leave you wondering what the big deal is with sports at all. What do we hope our kids will take from the playing field to the classroom and life beyond? What can sports teach us about ourselves?

The hour-long program is the lead in to the Weekend Edition Saturday.  Produced by WBUR in Boston, Only a Game is all sports, all the time.  Appropriate for the serious sports fan as well as soccer Moms.

Please join the discussion on Valentine’s Day, Thursday, February 14, 8am in the Weston High School Media Center.  If you want more information about Bill Littlefield, click on www.onlyagame.org.

The WEEFC Annual Fall Gala is Saturday, November 3 at the Westin Hotel in Waltham

The Weston Education Enrichment Fund (WEEFC) Fall Gala is November 3rd at the Westin Hotel in Waltam.  Get involved, have some fun and help plan the event, which will make such a huge difference in your child’s education in the Weston schools.  This week’s meeting of the WEEFC Fall Gala/Auction volunteers is Friday, September 20, at 9:30 am at 55 Chestnut Street in Weston.

 The Weston Education Enrichment Fund Committee (WEEFC) was formed in 1985 to solicit tax-deductible donations to support creative and innovative projects beyond the scope of the regular school budget.  The committee is comprised of nine parent volunteers and an elected member of the school committee, each serving two-year renewable terms.  Money is raised by contributions to an annual fund drive.  There are also a number of different social events and a fall gift wrap drive every year that are run by parent volunteers.  All donations are used immediately.  WEEFC was established as an annual fund, in the belief that parents would prefer to support a fund that would provide immediate benefits to their children.  Separate endowment funds do exist.  The first fundraising event of the 2007-2008 school year is the November Gala.

Our children benefit greatly from the generous support of our schools by Weston parents.  Please help to make this Gala a success!
