The 5th Grade Committee is organizing events for the 5th grade Brackett Barracudas throughout the year (social events, volunteer opportunities, fundraising events, end of year Celebration of Learning).
1st Volunteer Opportunity: Join the Green Team to protect Brackett’s woods from invasive Round Leaf Bittersweet vines.
Volunteer dates:
- Oct. 20 (2:30–3:30 p.m.) – Learn to spot and tag the vines, make signs, and educate others.
- Oct. 28 (2:30–4:00 p.m.) – Help remove the vines with guidance from ARMI (Arlington MA Invasive’s).
Ideally, students join both days — but one is fine too.
Meet on the Brackett Basketball Court.
Bonus: In November, a local basket weaver will teach volunteers how to weave with the harvested vines. More info on this to come.
