Weekly Update: March 21, 2026
If you’ve been wondering about the large white geometric shapes in our parking lot these past two years—here’s the big reveal! The pieces are finally assembled. We think it looks fantastic - and hope you do too!
Please join us for Family Service Day next Saturday, March 28, from 10am–12pm. We’ll celebrate the spring equinox by refreshing our Outdoor Classroom, honoring the new awning, and preparing for the growing season ahead. We hope to see you there!
We are proud of our students, particularly when they practice our Core Value of Civic Engagement.
On Wednesday, the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC), in partnership with YWCA Southeastern Massachusetts and SouthCoast Fair Housing, hosted a Fair Housing Regional Listening Session at Bristol Community College downtown.
Three 8th grade students prepared testimonies and attended the event to share their opinions on fair housing issues in New Bedford. We are grateful to these young people willing to use their voice to uplift our community. See below to admire some of their testimony:

Brantwood Camp in New Hampshire is where we go for the first few days of the school year to build community and share adventure. Brantwood is also an excellent destination for OSS students looking for a summer experience in a familiar setting! Check it out, and if you want help with registration, contact Ms. Sanders for support at asanders@oursistersschool.org.
Help us spread the word!
We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday. Have a great weekend!
