Wethersfield HOPE

WeHOPE for a successful school year ahead! Town of Wethersfield Social and Youth Services is making this possible for all students!

Kids v**e for lots of reasons. From stress to social pressures and everything in between.
Though you may not know why someone is va**ng, resources are available to help you understand the risks involved.

WeHOPE is here for you:

Hey parents!

While you sneak some candy from your kids take the extra minute to check their loot to make sure no tricks are hidden in the treats.

Wishing all of Wethersfield a Happy (and safe) Halloween!

As we appreciate how beautiful the change of seasons can be, we are mindful that change isn’t always easy.

How are you? Yes, you.

As bad as that pun is, va**ng is way worse.

Make sure you get outside and enjoy this time of year and get those fall selfies before the leaves are gone.

Seriously, va**ng stinks:

As we all head to the Carnival tonight we wanted to remind you that Wethersfield recently updated the smoking + va**ng ordinance for all town-owned and operated recreation areas.
Each infraction equals a $50 fine, making a bad habit even worse!
