Today's riddle: Where do math teachers go on vacation? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. NOW HIRING: Town Seeking Senior Clerk For Planning & Conservation Department (wilmingtonapple.com) — Wilmington is hiring a Senior Clerk for its Planning & Conservation Department, a full-time Town Hall role supporting boards, finances, permitting, and public records. The position offers $28.27–$35.77 per hour, requires some evening availability for meetings, and involves managing everything from agendas and minutes to databases, mail, and the department's online presence.
2. New Boston Street bridge is now officially open! (homenewshere.com) — The New Boston Street bridge by Anderson RTC is now open, reconnecting Woburn and Wilmington and giving local drivers faster access to I-93 and I-95. After decades of lobbying, the rebuilt span links Wilmington's busy industrial corridor—home to about 5,000 jobs and a planned life sciences campus—to North Woburn's growing residential and commercial area, with a formal ribbon-cutting still to come.
3. Grace Chapel Approves Dr. Mateus de Campos As Next Senior Pastor (wilmingtonapple.com) — Grace Chapel, which has a campus in Wilmington, has approved Dr. Mateus de Campos as its next senior pastor, with his ministry beginning September 8. After years of international and academic ministry experience, he plans to emphasize servant leadership, cultural understanding, and intergenerational connection as he guides Grace Chapel's multi-campus, multicultural community across Greater Boston, including Wilmington worshippers.
4. Friday's local roundup: Third-ranked Harvard defeats UML, 5-1 (lowellsun.com) — Wilmington High's golf team fell 52–20 to Reading in Middlesex League play at Meadow Brook Golf Course, despite a strong 38 from Nick Poeck that earned a 5.5–3.5 individual win. The recap comes in a broader local sports roundup, but Wilmington fans will care most about how the Wildcats opened their season against a tough league opponent.
