In neighborhoods across Boston, from Dorchester to Roxbury to Hyde Park, families are raising bright, curious toddlers who grow up hearing and speaking more than one language. These children laugh, play, and learn in homes filled with Cape Verdean Creole, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and dozens of other languages that make up the heartbeat of Massachusetts.

Brockton schools consider building shifts to ease overcrowding
BROCKTON — Brockton Public Schools is considering major building shifts beginning the 2027-28 school year to address overcrowding in some elementary schools. The district is looking at several changes, including converting one or more middle schools into elementary or K-8 schools. The district has seen population growth at the elementary level since 2022 , though overall enrollment is down – mirroring statewide trends – because of losses at the middle and high school levels. "We're breaking at the seams at some of these elementary [schools]," School Committee member Ana Oliver said during an Oct. 20 committee meeting. Member Sandra Centeio noted seeing a gym at Brookfield Elementary School being used for both classrooms and storage space. !function(e,n,i,s){var d="InfogramEmbeds";var o=e.getElementsByTagName(n)[0];if(window[d]&&window[d].initialized)window[d].process&&window[d].process();else if(!e.getElementById(i)){var r=e.createElement(n);r.async=1,r.id=i,r.src=s,o.parentNode.insertBefore(r,o)}}(document,"script","infogram-async","https://e.infogram.com/js/dist/embed-loader-min.js"); 'Pride of Brockton': Brockton High marching band is back from pandemic Committee members urge caution Committee members counseled that a building move should not to be decided too quickly, so the district won't repeat past mistakes.

Brockton High students find new dreams at Berklee music camp

"You didn't even bring a pillow!" said her friend and fellow program participant Zinovia Jones, laughing. Sanyajo did bring her baby blanket, and she stuffed it into a pillowcase to create a makeshift pillow for her first-ever night in a dorm room bed. She hadn't even slept over at a friend's house before this experience. Sanyajo and Zinovia, a Brockton High junior, went to Berklee for five days to study gospel music, and were both changed by the experience – but in very different ways. Berklee became Zinovia's dream college, while Sanyajo learned that she can live away from home and be independent.
