## Wellpoint Recognizes Massachusetts Teacher of the Year Finalist Thomas Simmons at Mario Umana Academy
**April 9, 2026** - Wellpoint, a Massachusetts-based health benefits company, visited the Mario Umana Academy in April 2026 to honor English and history/social studies teacher Thomas Simmons, who was named a finalist for the [2026 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year](https://www.doe.mass.edu/amazingeducators/stoy/) by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in December 2025.

## Umana Academy Student Senate Welcomes Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) visited Mario Umana Academy on March 20, 2026, where she met with members of the schoolâs Student Senate â specifically the Policy & Outreach Committee â for a thoughtful and energizing discussion centered on student voice, civic engagement, and community impact.
Launched in the 2024â2025 school year, the Umana Academy Student Senate is a cornerstone of the schoolâs 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 & Visibilityâeach 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.

âOur 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 matterânot 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.â
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
**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 Deverâs art teacher Ms. Hermann, covered the walls of the auditorium where Dever Digitizing Day was held.
âThese 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,â 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 Schoolâs (BPS) Capital Planning Team. The event was part of the Deverâs closing community engagement events to honor and celebrate the schoolâs legacy in its final year.
âThe 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,â said **Boston Public Schools Superintendent Mary Skipper**. âIt 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.â
![]()
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 attendeesâ 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.
âLa primera vez que caminĂŠ por los pasillos de esta escuela, sentĂ escalofrĂos. Me sentĂ 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 tenĂan esa conexiĂłn. Yo le decĂa âÂżpara quien juegan?â Y dicen âsomos lo mismo partido. Todos jugamos juntos.ââ said **Boston School Committee Member, Rafaela Polanco Garcia**. âSabemos que tenemos una comunidad fuerte. Unos maestros y padres unidosâŚJuntos podemos hacer la diferencia.â\*\*

The Dever Community Engagement and Celebrations working groupâa team made up of Dever staff, parents, and BPS Capital Planningâworked 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 Deverâs impact on the Harbor Point community.
âThey all say all roads lead through \[the\] Dever, and for my family thatâs certainly true. I attended here many years agoâŚand 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,â said **Cheryl Buckman, member of the Dever Community Engagement and Celebrations Working Group and parent advocate**, âThe street sign is more than just a landmark. Itâs a permanent tribute to history that weâre preserving, and a future that weâre building together.â
\*\*âThe 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, âWhat team do you play for?â They said, âWe are on the same team. We all play together.ââ said **Boston School Committee Member, Rafaela Polanco Garcia**. âI know that this is a strong community. Teachers and parents united. Together, we can make a difference.â (*Translation from Spanish*)

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. OâBryant 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 districtâs commitment to affirming studentsâ home languages while encouraging the exploration of new ones. It fosters pride, belonging, and enthusiasmâkey 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 â 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.
