MARLBOROUGH – The guidance counselors at the Whitcomb Middle School were recognized recently during Counselor Appreciation Week. The guidance counselors provide a listening ear as well as offer support and help for students as they navigate the challenges of growing up. They truly make a difference in the lives of the students.
THE SENIOR YOUTH GROUP at the First Church in Marlborough, Congregational, recently helped at United Way of Tri-County, Marlborough Community Cupboard. They exhibited great teamwork as they organized supplies for the Tools for School program. In addition, they built a rolling shelf system and cleaned in the food bank as well as helped to unload and put away 4,000 pounds of food.
MUSIC IS FOREVER … Marlborough High School alums Dan Pimentel (‘20) and Jason Messina (‘20) have continued their musical talents as members of the “Screaming Eagle” Boston College Marching Band.
THE RECENT “Stuff the Truck” at the Marlborough Senior Center was a huge success with seniors donating to the Marlborough Community Cupboard.
As a community, we understand that sometimes people go through hard times and need a little extra help with food and heating costs. Everyone deserves a healthy meal and warm bed to sleep in.
That’s why we work together to keep our Community Cupboard food pantry filled and continue to support the Mayor’s Charity Fund that helps families/individuals that are struggling to pay their heating costs. Please contact the Mayor’s office if you would like to make a food donation or help support the Mayor’s Charity Fund. If you or someone you know that lives in Marlborough is going through tough times, contact the Mayor’s office to see if they can help at 508-460-3770.

MEMBERS of the Marlborough Rotary Club recently helped 30 Marlborough families with food baskets. Working with the schools, the Rotarians goal was to help families over the school vacation week when feeding everyone was more challenging. With the kids home they were not getting breakfast and lunch at school thus putting a strain on families who are struggling. With the help of Market Basket, Rotary members not only put together the baskets but also delivered them to the recipients.
CONGRATULATIONS to a recent Marlborough High School Employee of the Week Kara Manzelli.
Kara serves as Marlborough High’s Lead Teacher of Advanced Coursework. Her leadership over the past few years has helped develop a school improvement plan that has increased the number of students successfully participating in advanced courses at MHS.
