Letters from Wellesley students

Wellesley Middle School Social Studies students as part of a Civics Action Projects has this month taken over The Swellesley Report‘s letters-to-the-editor page. The students are well-versed in their topics, have carefully researched all angles, and are ready to present their opinions to the community. Thank you to the WMS Social Studies teachers for organizing this community-based project.

In this week’s letters, students argue for the expansion of Wellesley’s Pre-K programs; advocate for a later school starting time; and back breaks for their hard-working brains.
