Sprucing Up School Food With Gleaned Produce
Produce gleaned from local farms has been an ingredient staple at CommonWealth Kitchen (CWK) in Dorchester, Massachusetts since its founding days in 2009. A 2018 BioCycle article that featured CWK (scroll to end of post) reported that CWK processed over 2 tons of surplus Massachusetts apples purchased from the Boston Area Gleaners into 400 gallons of applesauce for Boston Children’s Hospital and the Boston Public Schools. That project helped lay the groundwork for CWK to collaborate with local gleaners to supply nutritious food to school districts in its region. Its facility in Dorchester houses a commissary kitchen that offers recipe development, ingredient preparation, cooking, packing and labeling and freezing if needed.

Norwell football star shines in 'his Michael Jordan flu game'
RANDOLPH — Jason Pithie received the text message that no high school football coach wants. Norwell High star senior quarterback Jack Luccarelli reached out at 7:28 a.m. Friday morning to alert Pithie of a flu-like illness that caught on overnight, 11 hours before the team's game vs. Randolph was scheduled to kick off. "My entire day went out the window," said Pithie, the second-year head coach. Luccarelli went to school for the mandatory four hours needed to be eligible to play and opted to give it a go. He rode to the game with his father, Matt, separate from the team. Back-up Ryan Bonzagni, a junior, was ready for the call-up. Luccarelli was undeterred. He stacked 5 touchdowns (3 rushing, 2 passing) as Norwell rolled to a 41-6 road victory over the Blue Devils on Friday, Oct. 30. "With him, you always expect greatness," said senior lineman Xander Wilkinson. "He manned up," Pithie said. "It was his Michael Jordan flu game." Luccarelli dropped back to find senior wideout Cole Maguire for a 63-yard touchdown strike on the Clippers' opening drive. He also spotted Bonzagni, who broke a tackle on his path, for a 43-yard touchdown in the second quarter. More:

History made: Durfee football beats Brockton for the first time
FALL RIVER — It was history in the making for the Durfee High football team. The Hilltoppers have never beaten rival Brockton in their storied history, dating back to 1989. But on Friday Oct. 30, that long winless streak came to an end on Senior Night. Quarterback Matt Sherry threw a pair of touchdown passes to James Gondre and the defense did the rest as Durfee came away with a 21-8 victory over the Boxers before a large gathering at B.M.C. Durfee High School. Watch MA high school football on NFHS The win was the first one in 36 tries. Prior to tonight's Big 3 Conference matchup, Brockton held a 34-0-1 record. "This feels amazing," Gondre said. "This feels good to help our senior get this win. I can't even speak right now." Hilltopper head coach Taylor Brown was emotional after the victory. Brown's team in 2000 came the closest to beating Brockton in a 15-15 tie. Fast-forward 26 years to Friday night, and minutes before the game's end, Brown was doused with water from several separate coolers. "I've been doing this for a long time," Brown said. "I've played in the game, watched in the game and coached the

Providence superintendent says he will resign. Here's what comes next.
Superintendent Javier Montañez announced on Friday, Oct. 30, that he will resign as the superintendent of Providence Public Schools. The Providence School Board intends to post a listing for an interim superintendent to replace Montañez next week, and talks are "ongoing" to finalize Montañez's last official day and a settlement agreement. How did we get here: Montañez rose to the highest position in the state's largest school district in 2021, from which he also graduated, after spending more than 30 years as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and then superintendent. He was appointed schools chief during the 7-year state takeover, and his resignation comes among the prolonged chaos of the district's tortuous return to local control. A rocky start to the school year On the very first day of school this year, Montañez's morning began before the sun had risen, greeting bus monitors and drivers at the Olneyville bus yard, energizing staff to make the momentous return to local control successful. Since that sunshine-filled first day, the wheels have started to fall off. Three of the district's most senior leaders have resigned. The School Board's subsequent meetings were filled with dozens of parents and students complaining about understaffing and lack
