The Braintree Town Council convened on September 2, 2025, to discuss several community initiatives and upcoming events that are set to engage residents and foster local involvement. Among the highlights was the announcement of the twelfth annual Sprint for Super Saturdays, scheduled for Sunday, September 21, at Town Hall. This 5K fun run and walk aims to promote community spirit and healthy living. Participants can register online at www.runsignup.com, and the event organizers are actively seeking sponsorships and donations to support the initiative, with a deadline for sponsorship submissions set for September 7.

In addition to the Sprint for Super Saturdays, the East Braintree Community Action Coalition is resuming its public meetings after a break in August. The meetings will recommence on September 18, with a special candidates forum planned for October 16 at Town Hall. This forum will provide an opportunity for residents to engage with individuals running for local office, highlighting the council's commitment to transparency and community involvement in the electoral process.

Councilor Bridal took a moment to acknowledge the start of the school year, wishing students and teachers a successful first day back. He emphasized the importance of recognizing the efforts of educators and support staff who contribute to the well-being and education of the town's youth.

The meeting concluded with the approval of minutes from a previous session, reflecting the council's ongoing administrative responsibilities. As the council continues to address community needs and events, residents can look forward to increased opportunities for participation and engagement in local governance.
