After a rain delay in June, it's finally here -- the rescheduled St. William Festival! You've waited all summer, so be sure to attend for a day of fun and fellowship on Saturday, August 29 from 12-6 pm. All are welcome!

Tomorrow is the final Community Picnic in Senator Tina Tartaglione’s Summer 2026 series! ☀️ Join us from 10 AM–1 PM at Norris Square Park for a fun-filled day. Check out the flyer below for all the details, and we hope to see you there! 🎒🎉

Our annual Summer Community Picnics are returning this year!

These free family-friendly gatherings are a great opportunity for neighbors to come together, enjoy food, games, entertainment, and connect with local organizations and resources. We’ll also be giving away backpacks and school supplies to help students prepare for the upcoming school year.

I look forward to seeing families from across the district join us for a fun-filled summer tradition that celebrates community and helps ensure our children start the school year ready to succeed.
