Malden High Gun Scare Caused by Water Pistol

"You can't take any of this stuff lightly today," Superintendent David DeRuosi said. The student will face internal disciplinary action.

A teacher's report of a gun sighting on the Malden High School campus prompted a quick police response Monday afternoon, though officers ultimately recovered only a "neon-colored" water gun at the scene. While just a toy, fake guns are prohibited on-campus and can prompt a serious police response.  "A teacher reported hearing a clicking motion, and thought a student may have had a gun," DeRuosi said when reached by phone Monday. "(Police) then found a water gun in the general vicinity."  DeRuosi said new surveillance cameras installed as part of the school's renovations last year will help identify the student who brought the toy to campus. He added that administrators "have an idea of who the student may be."  "You can't take any of that …

Workers Ready Teen Center for October

Mayor Gary Christenson said teens should enjoy use of the center by next month.

Contractors are chipping away at paint and preparing other renovations to bring the city's new teen enrichment center to life next month, thanks to the work of volunteers and political support from the mayor's office.  The 5,500 square foot center, located across from Malden High School at 1 Salem St., will provide structured activities, homework help and other activities to keep kids busy after school.  Mayor Gary Christenson signed a three-year lease for the building earlier this month.  While the city will pay for rent and staffing costs, money for activities will be raised by a 501(c)3 non-profit organization affiliated with the center.  For more information on the  center, visit their Facebook page.

Ramp Up for Back-to-School with Bedtime Math

With the new school year upon us, help get your kids’ brains working again with this fun, free daily email newsletter.

Students of Malden Public Schools go back to school on Aug. 28 (K-8) and Aug. 29 (Malden High School), which means it’s time for an abundance of expensive school supplies, backpacks full of complicated text books and dreaded questions about math homework. With back-to-school stresses piling up, Laura Overdeck wants to let children and parents in on a little secret: math can be fun. Really.  Overdeck is on a mission to change the way Americans think about math — especially given that math anxiety has been tracked in kids as young as age 5. This is what inspired her to create Bedtime Math, a nonprofit that sends out a daily email with a math problem tailored to “wee ones,” little and big kids.  Overdeck is a Westfield native who now lives in…

Salemwood Students Participate In Mentoring Program

The "I Know English" mentoring program, created in partnership with the Chinese Cultural Connection and Malden High School students, has been a great success at the Salemwood School.

Photos, article, and text all by Kathy Sullivan, 5th Grade Teacher at Salemwood School.   Salemwood School 5th grade students have had the opportunity to participate in the "I Know English" mentoring program this spring.  In conjunction with Malden High School students, Harris Zhou and Alex Ly, and Mei Hung of the Chinese Cultural Center, this program was created in order to reach out to students in our public schools who are new English language learners.  Both Harris and Alex were once students who were limited in the English language so the focus of this program was to reach out to students who are now going through the same experiences Harris and Alex had when they were elementary students at the Ferryway and Beebe schools.  …
