Bridgewater Little League Homecoming
On Monday, August 24, the Bridgewater Little League received a homecoming welcome as they returned home from the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Their return comes after an unfortunate 10-0 loss against Ohio, but that didn't dull Bridgewater's spirit.
The 2026 season marked the first entrance into the Little League World Series in the 74-year history of the Bridgewater Little League, an enormous achievement. The BLL team received a warm welcome by the town of Bridgewater, one that was greatly deserved after their hard work and dedication. Congratulations Bridgewater Little League!

Historical Tidbit:
The Last One-Room Schoolhouse
in Bridgewater
One-room schoolhouses were located in many spots in town. As neighborhoods grew, these buildings were often moved from neighborhood to neighborhood every few years. The "Dyer" school was on the corner of Old Pleasant and Pleasant Streets. The last one-room school in Bridgewater, used until 1945, is now at the intersection of Auburn and Summer Streets and is currently the home of the Bridgewater Youth Soccer Association.

Climate Can Do - Carpooling!
Looking for an easy way to save the environment and money? Look no further than carpooling! Seemingly simple in nature, the act of carpooling and sharing a ride with co-workers, friends, and others has a profound impact on both our ecosystems and wallets. Carpooling reduces carbon footprints and improves air quality whilst simultaneously lowering overall fuel costs, and in some cases qualifying eligible participants for tax incentives! For more information on carpooling, van-pooling, and other alternatives visit Mass.Gov.

Bridgewater Little League Sportsmanship
In the Face of Game Loss
On Wednesday, August 19, the Bridgewater Little League (BLL) faced off against the Bayonne Little League in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, for game one of the 2026 Little League World Series. BLL is one of only 10 teams from across the United States who have won their way to a spot in the 2026 Little League World Series, and it comes as a direct result of their continued teamwork and sportsmanship. In their opening game BLL lost 2-1 against Bayonne, but that didn't dull their spirits.
As pictured on the right, pitcher Jude DeSimone tipped his hat towards Bayonne at the end of game one taking the loss in stride, and respect for his competition. This small act of sportsmanship is telling of the team at large, and will hopefully set the precedent for game two on Saturday, August 22.

Summmahh!!!
“Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair...”~ Susan Polis Schutz
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
~ John Lubbock
"Aaah, summer - that long anticipated stretch of lazy, lingering days, free of responsibility and rife with possibility. It's a time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and crannies, and make new friends.” ~ Darell Hammond
"People take pictures of the Summer, just in case someone thought they had missed it, and to proved that it really existed."
~ Ray Davies
| |
As we grasp these last remaining days of summer, pause, breathe it in. The lush green of the full trees, the splash of the waves….
Summmahh, Summmahh, Summmahh!!!
