School Board approves $10,000 grant for Mile Tree Library furniture upgrades

The Hampden-Wilbraham Regional School District took significant steps towards enhancing educational resources during their recent School Committee meeting on May 15, 2025. A key decision made was the approval of a $10,000 grant aimed at updating the library furniture at Mile Tree Elementary School. This funding, requested by the school librarian, will allow for a refreshed and inviting space for students, with implementation expected to begin shortly as the librarian collaborates with Principal Heath to select suitable furnishings.

In addition to the library improvements, Superintendent updates highlighted the district's current enrollment, which stands at 2,871 students, reflecting a slight increase from the previous month. The meeting also showcased the unveiling of a new logo for the healthcare and social assistance innovation pathway, designed to foster a sense of identity among students involved in this program. The logo was introduced during a recent event at Gillette Stadium, where district representatives engaged with various stakeholders committed to transforming secondary education.

These developments underscore the district's ongoing commitment to enhancing educational environments and providing students with meaningful experiences that prepare them for future opportunities. As the school year progresses, the Hampden-Wilbraham Regional School District continues to focus on initiatives that directly benefit its students and the broader community.
