wood school

Hoax threats directed at Massachusetts schools have disrupted lessons twice this week in Fairhaven, where schools were under a stay-put order.

Filmed in Fairhaven, this 1980s school bus safety video is a fun trip back in time.

Fairhaven had some commotion and an interesting sight Saturday morning. Michael Rock explains what was going on.

Little Ben Galego needed to interview someone for his school project at Wood School and laid down some pretty good questions with Gazelle at McDonald's.

I heard that the Wood School in Fairhaven has a buddy bench, so I headed over to check out how it worked.  The kids were happy to show me.  This is a really great idea for any school.  Heck, there are some days I could use one here at Fun 107...

Kids can do some pretty amazing things when they put their minds to it! One bright example of a student working hard to make a difference in her community is 10 year old Mady Pimental.

It is move in day for teachers and staff at Fairhaven's new Wood School. After spending the past school year at the Oxford School, the Wood School is reaping the benefits of a brand new 24 million dollar educational facility...a majority of which is being paid for with state funding...

I had a chance to tour the construction site of the new Wood School today. I spoke to the Project Superintendant, Richard Senna, who told me that construction is right on schedule. He is anticipating some bad weather over the winter months, but still expects the school to be open for business for the first day of school in August of 2013...

Fairhaven is dealing with an unexpected and unpleasant surprise just days before the first day of school.  Dr. Robert Baldwin announced that the opening of Oxford School (the temporary home of the Wood School) will be delayed until the Tuesday after Labor Day.

Have you seen the old Wood School in Fairhaven, lately?  If not, you'd better see it soon...or you'll never see it again.  Work crews are feverishly knocking it to the ground in order to build a new, state of the art, 24 million dollar school (15 million dollars of the tab will be picked up by the state....9 million by Fairhaven taxpayers).  The timetable?  An aggressive 13 months start to finish.
