A newly formed advisory board will promote youth civic engagement and connect high school students in Sandwich to the Sandwich Board of Selectmen.
Sandwich High School senior Nico Gentile and faculty adviser Chris Tansey presented the idea of the Sandwich Youth Commission to the board of selectmen at its meeting on May 13.
In its current iteration, the commission will be composed of nine high school students of varying grade levels: five students from the town high school, two students from Cape Cod Academy, and two students from the Sturgis Charter schools. All of the involved students are Sandwich residents; this composition will be fluid depending on the number of interested students at each school.
SUCCESSFUL Pembrokeshire Football League club Hakin United has secured the future of its home ground for generations to come, with the purchase of The Observatory Field site. The Club has been supported by the Building Communities Trust, with funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, to secure the site for the benefit of the local community. The Vikings are ranked as the league’s most successful club, having won the division one title a record 19 times since 1945, as well as the Pembrokeshire Senior Cup a record 11 times. They remain the current champions after this season was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic, and look forward to returning to a home they can now officially call their own.
