Beethoven School students now have maps, games, hopscotches and crosswalk designs, in their school's parking lot of recess and physical education classes.
This past Sunday morning the Beethoven School Parent Council repainted the pavement parking lot in front of the school after previous designs have faded away. The parking lot designs are used as a play space for recess and physical education. Maps, games, hopscotches, and crosswalks were painted, said Kristina Martin, of the parent council.

Dear Beethoven, Ohrenberger, Mozart, Bates, Mattahunt and Washington Irving schools families: Making Music Matters! needs your help. For the first time in the program's history, we are faced with the challenge of being underfunded for the coming school year. Our funders have been more than generous for more than a decade, but some are no longer funding programs such as ours. We need to increase our fundraising efforts to close this gap. We are kicking off this initiative by participating in the Walk For Music this weekend. On Sunday, a team of MMM! staff members and students will be joining in this two-mile walk around the beautiful Back Bay Fens (WalkForMusic.org). There are many ways to help: For those not familiar with the program…

The schools raised and donated more than 3,100 food items for the Roslindale Food Bank.
In the two weeks leading up the Super Bowl, the Ohrenberger and Beethoven schools ran a Soup-er Bowl - a food drive to benefit the Roslindale Food Bank. At one point last year the Roslindale Food Bank was down to one bag of groceries due to the high demand of people seeking help from the bank. With the Ohrenberger Student Council leading the way, members from the middle school collected, counted, tracked, boxed, and loaded the food into cars for delivery. The Ohrenberger School collected and donated 2315 items of canned and boxed food and bottles of water, according to parent Mayre Plunkett. The Beethoven collected 846, adding up to 3,161 items of food! "While the other Super Bowl didn't work out the way we wanted, I would say this …

US Senator Scott Brown read a book to kids at the Beethoven, stopped off at the Holy Name, Century 21, and Roche Bros.
US Senator Scott Brown enjoyed a whirlwind tour of West Roxbury this morning. He learned about bees at the Beethoven, offered condolences to Mayor White's family, stopped off at Holy Name and even did a little shopping at Roche Bros. Starting at the Beethoven School, Brown donned his famous brown jacket, and was met by a throng of television reporters, who pelted him with questions about his daughter's band being paid to play at his campaign events. Brown preferred to talk about last night's passing of a US Senate bill banning insider trading by Congress. Inside the school several eighth-graders from the Ohrenberger School, the Beethoven's feeder school, asked Brown to come to their school and give them a civics lesson. Brown shook hands…

As an educator, I was thrilled to read about the Hard Work and Dedication of the students in our area who raised funds for One Fund Boston. Students at the Ohrenberger School were standing in front of a "Boston vs Bullies" banner. What a great way to incorporate the Mandated Anti Bullying curriculum. Way to go kids! (:> more ›
