BOSTON – Rainy weather Sunday failed to put a damper on the second annual Polish Festival celebration in Boston, as churchgoers streamed out of Our Lady of Czestochowa Church in Dorchester, some in traditional Polish garb and others waving Polish flags to march a few blocks to the Polish American Citizens Club.
The festivities took place there in the heart of the Polish Triangle, in an event designed to educate both the Polish community about their heritage and to share the culture with everyone who attended. The air quickly filled with savory smells from tents serving out traditional food including perogies, potato pancakes, sausages, stews and pastries.
BOSTON (AP) – A ninth-grade humanities teacher at a Boston charter school has been named the Massachusetts Teacher of the Year.
Sydney Chaffee, who has been teaching at Codman Academy Charter Public School in Dorchester since 2007, was honored at a ceremony at the school Tuesday.
