Wellpoint awarded the school a \$5,000 grant to support enhancements to the school’s learning environment, including flexible seating and updated classroom materials to better engage students and support their success. “Wellpoint is proud to recognize Tommy Simmons as a finalist for the 2026 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year,” said David Morales, general manager of Wellpoint. “The connections he builds with his students and the environment he creates for them to succeed are truly inspiring. At Wellpoint, we’re focused on making the healthcare experience simpler and supporting the whole health of the people we serve – including the educators who play such an important role in our communities.” Simmons, who was nominated in January 2025, advanced through a rigorous statewide selection process that included classroom observations, interviews, references and the review of teaching materials. He is recognized as a lifelong learner who builds on students’ strengths and fosters a classroom environment where students learn from and support one another. “I’m honored to be recognized alongside so many dedicated educators across Massachusetts and to represent the students and community at the Mario Umana Academy,” said 2026 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year finalist Thomas Simmons. “I’m grateful to Wellpoint for this recognition and investment in our school, which will help us continue creating engaging, student-centered learning environments. This work reflects the students, families and colleagues I learn from every day. Every student in BPS deserves nothing short of excellence and I look forward to promoting my colleagues who continue to push towards this goal. Umana UNIDOS!” The Mario Umana Academy is a dual-language school serving a diverse community of students and families in East Boston, where Simmons’ work reflects a deep commitment to inclusive, student-centered learning. ![]() Simmons’ recognition reflects the dedication of Boston Public Schools educators and their ongoing commitment to creating engaging, equitable learning environments where all students can thrive.

Launched in the 2024–2025 school year, the Umana Academy Student Senate is a cornerstone of the school’s commitment to elevating student leadership. Rooted in the school's values of Joy, Respect, Inclusive Community, and Bilingualism, the Senate serves as a bridge between students and school leadership, ensuring student perspectives shape the school experience. ![]() Students join the Senate through an interest-based selection process that begins with a schoolwide introduction during advisory. From there, students choose the committee that best aligns with their passions. The Senate is composed of four committees: Culture & Climate, Policy & Outreach, Events & Activities, and Beautification & Visibility—each playing a vital role in strengthening the school community. During her visit, Congresswoman Pressley engaged directly with students from the Policy & Outreach Committee, who shared their work amplifying student perspectives, building community partnerships, and leading service initiatives beyond the school. The conversation highlighted the power of youth leadership and the importance of creating authentic pathways for students to influence decisions that affect their lives. ![]() “Our Student Senate reflects the brilliance, leadership, and lived experiences of our young people," said Umana Academy Principal Akua-Nia Francillon. "Hosting Congresswoman Pressley affirmed for our students that their voices matter—not just within our school, but in the broader community and our democracy. We are incredibly proud of how our students are leading with purpose and vision.” The visit underscored the impact of student-led initiatives at Umana Academy and reinforced Boston Public Schools' commitment to fostering inclusive, student-centered learning environments where every voice has the power to lead change. ![]() [![We Change, We Grow: Remembering Dever Elementary School Through the Years]()](https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/test/posts-clone/single-newsroom/~board/announcements/post/we-change-we-grow-remembering-dever-elementary-school-through-the-years) [We Change, We Grow: Remembering Dever Elementary School Through the Years](https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/test/posts-clone/single-newsroom/~board/announcements/post/we-change-we-grow-remembering-dever-elementary-school-through-the-years) The Dever Elementary School held a Digitizing Day on March 26. The event was part of the Dever’s closing community engagement events to honor and celebrate the school’s legacy in its final year. [See All Photos From Event](https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/schools-container/school-profile/dever-elementary-school#digitizingday) ## We Change, We Grow: Remembering Dever Elementary School Through the Years **MARCH 26, 2026**: As participants walked into the auditorium, they were met with an explosion of color. Two hundred individual student-made butterflies, organized by the Dever’s art teacher Ms. Hermann, covered the walls of the auditorium where Dever Digitizing Day was held. “These butterflies reflect who our students are: growing, changing, and finding their way. And in many ways, they reflect this school. The Dever has continued to grow and change to become a place where students are supported, challenged, and have the opportunity to grow. Digitizing Day is about capturing that,” said **Dever Principal Margaret Reardon**. ![]() On March 26, the Dever Elementary School in Dorchester held a Digitizing Day in partnership with UMass Boston and Boston Public School’s (BPS) Capital Planning Team. The event was part of the Dever’s closing community engagement events to honor and celebrate the school’s legacy in its final year. “The Dever has been a cornerstone of the Columbia Point community for nearly seven decades and this event reflects the connections and memories it has created for so many people,” said **Boston Public Schools Superintendent Mary Skipper**. “It is incredibly meaningful to see former students, families and staff come together to share their stories and celebrate what this school has meant to them. By preserving these memories, we are honoring the legacy of the Dever and ensuring that its impact continues to be felt for years to come.” ![]() Over a hundred people came to the event to share their memories with one another. Participants included multiple generations of students, staff, and family members as well as neighbors, community partners, and BPS central office staff. UMass Boston set up stations to gather and digitize attendees’ stories, photos, apparel, documents, and other artifacts, to be uploaded to a permanent, public collection in the UMass Boston online archives ([openarchives.umb.edu](http://openarchives.umb.edu/)) and be preserved for generations to come. When the collection is ready for public access in the coming months, all contributors and the current Dever community will be notified. “La primera vez que caminé por los pasillos de esta escuela, sentí escalofríos. Me sentí conectada con los maestros, con los padres, con los estudiantes. Para mi, fue inspirador como la cultura de la escuela, como los padres y los maestros tenían esa conexión. Yo le decía ‘¿para quien juegan?’ Y dicen ‘somos lo mismo partido. Todos jugamos juntos.’” said **Boston School Committee Member, Rafaela Polanco Garcia**. “Sabemos que tenemos una comunidad fuerte. Unos maestros y padres unidos…Juntos podemos hacer la diferencia.”\*\* ![]() The Dever Community Engagement and Celebrations working group—a team made up of Dever staff, parents, and BPS Capital Planning—worked with UMass Boston over the past several months to plan the Digitizing Day. Mass Memories, the participatory archiving program based in University Archives and Special Collections in the Joseph P. Healey Library at the University of Massachusetts Boston, works with partners across Massachusetts to engage community members in contributing personal stories and photographs to a statewide digital collection. The UMass Boston archives also hold materials documenting the history of the Boston Teachers Union from two digitizing events in the past several years. The partnership between UMass Boston and the BTU prompted the Dever/UMass collaboration. During the event, the new Dever memorial street sign was also unveiled to the community. The City of Boston installed the sign in honor of the Dever’s impact on the Harbor Point community. “They all say all roads lead through \[the\] Dever, and for my family that’s certainly true. I attended here many years ago…and even more recently, my son \[attended\]. Watching him walk these halls, I could not be more proud. Today we are here celebrating a legacy of trueness, family, and community,” said **Cheryl Buckman, member of the Dever Community Engagement and Celebrations Working Group and parent advocate**, “The street sign is more than just a landmark. It’s a permanent tribute to history that we’re preserving, and a future that we’re building together.” \*\*“The first time I walked through the halls of this school, I felt chills. I felt connected with the teachers, with the parents, with the students. For me, I was inspired by the school culture, by the parents and teachers who had this connection. I said, ‘What team do you play for?’ They said, ‘We are on the same team. We all play together.’” said **Boston School Committee Member, Rafaela Polanco Garcia**. “I know that this is a strong community. Teachers and parents united. Together, we can make a difference.” (*Translation from Spanish*) [See All Photos From Event](https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/schools-container/school-profile/dever-elementary-school#digitizingday) [![A young woman in a colorful, Puerto Rican themed dress is performing on a stage.]()](https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/test/posts-clone/single-newsroom/~board/announcements/post/voices-of-bps-celebrating-our-first-world-languages-showcase) [Voices of BPS: Celebrating Our First World Languages Showcase](https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/test/posts-clone/single-newsroom/~board/announcements/post/voices-of-bps-celebrating-our-first-world-languages-showcase) Boston Public Schools (BPS) marked a major milestone with the inaugural "Voices of Boston Public Schools: A World Languages Showcase," a vibrant celebration closing out National World Languages Week. ## Voices of Boston Public Schools: Celebrating Our First World Languages Showcase Boston Public Schools (BPS) proudly marked a major milestone Friday, March 13, with the inaugural "Voices of Boston Public Schools: A World Languages Showcase," a vibrant celebration closing out National World Languages Week. Held at the John D. O’Bryant School of Mathematics & Science, the event brought together 700-plus students and educators from 10 schools across the district. The showcase highlighted the rich linguistic and cultural diversity that defines Boston. Students took the lead, sharing dynamic performances and facilitating interactive table activities that invited attendees to experience languages and traditions from around the world. In partnership with 10-plus local and international partner organizations, the event created a space where culture, creativity, and community came together. ![Girl holding a ruffled large red fan in front of her. Behind her, there is stage and backdrop.]() The World Languages Showcase exemplifies the district’s commitment to affirming students’ home languages while encouraging the exploration of new ones. It fosters pride, belonging, and enthusiasm—key ingredients in building confident, multilingual global citizens. BPS commends the Departments of World Languages and Global Learning for their leadership in making this celebration possible. Most importantly, we celebrate our students, whose voices, talents, and cultures were at the heart of this unforgettable event. This showcase stands as a powerful reminder: our diversity is our strength, and our students are leading the way toward a more connected world. ![Several informational posters about the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, and Lebanon.]() The BPS World Languages program supports instruction in eight languages across more than 50 schools. Grounded in Massachusetts Commonwealth law (M.G.L. c. 69, § 1D), which recognizes World Languages as a core academic subject, this work reflects not only a graduation requirement but a forward-looking commitment to preparing students for a multilingual, interconnected world. As part of this broader vision, the program advances both language proficiency and intercultural competence, equipping students with the ability to communicate across differences – an increasingly essential skill for the future of work and civic engagement. Through inclusive, proficiency-based programs, the department ensures equitable access to high-quality language learning while fostering a deep understanding and appreciation for linguistic and cultural diversity.
