Town of Easton is undertaking a crucial public safety & public works facilities replacement project to enhance essential services for our community. The project involves constructing a new combined DPW facility, police and fire headquarters, and fire substation,
consolidating multiple outdated buildings. With facilities ranging from 50-70+ years old, these structures no longer meet various health, safety, and environmental codes, and are beyond their useful lives.

goal of this program is to ignite an interest in running and fitness for all Easton Middle School students, regardless of ability. All that is required is to show up and try to improve throughout the season. We will coach all runners to compete and to challenge
themselves to persevere. Students will practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45 pm - 5:00 pm at OA and on various predetermined safe routes. We are working on having two away meets with local towns with buses provided. We are looking for 1-2 more volunteer
coaches.

HCS has developed a new program that we are really excited about called the Friendly Caller Program. The purpose of this program is to spread positivity and prevent social isolation. This will be especially important this holiday season! Those signed up will
receive a weekly call from one of our volunteers, where you can share stories or experiences, chat about current events, or just make small talk. This is also a great way to get to know some fellow seniors in town. If you are interested in enrolling to receive
calls, please call Frothingham Hall at 508-230-0690.<br>
