Beverly

Memorial Day ceremonies in Beverly Farms are hosted  by the Michael J. Cadigan American Legion Post. Veterans march a 1-mile route from Private Anthony Rezza Road to West Beach, with stops at seven locations to lay wreaths at memorials honoring veterans, where ancestors of veterans are active participants. The parade leaves Rezza Road at 9:30 a.m. and ends at West Beach where a howitzer and rifle salutes, and the tossing of wreaths into the water to honor those who died at sea.

In lieu of a Memorial Day Parade, Beverly has decided to hold a ceremony at Odell Park to facilitate the needs of older veterans who would like to participate, but are unable to complete the parade route due to physical limitations. All of the elements that usually make up the parade, including veterans groups, police and fire color guards, Scouts, ROTC students and the high school band, will take part in the ceremony at the park.

Glen Urquhart School invites you to Walk-In Wednesdays, an opportunity to tour campus, visit classrooms, meet faculty and sign up for summer camp, while your child enjoys a free Spanish class.

Please contact Leslie Marchesseault, Director of Admission with questions.
