Thank you, Natick Teachers. Love, your community.

The Natick Historical Society was honored to participate in this heart-felt community tribute to Natick’s educators working hard to teach and support Natick’s students online. Spark Kindness inspired and coordinated the effort, and many local organizations contributed notes and videos of thanks. Dr. Anna Nolin, Superintendent of Natick Public Schools, shared it with educators and parents last week.

The Natick Historical Society included in its tribute a quotation from a Natick High School student who missed many days of class due to the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. The student rallied classmates in the school newspaper by writing: “If we work faithfully and learn as much as we possibly can of the lessons given us, we shall probably find that we slowly, but surely, will regain the ground which was lost by our enforced vacations. ... Let us take whatever comes our way with willing minds and cheerful countenances.”
