On Tuesday, local nonprofit Swampscott Unites, Respects Embraces (S.U.R.E.) Diversity held its Black History Month celebration.
Each Wednesday at the Swampscott Public Library, the 5 p.m. story time alternates between Russian and Ukrainian stories and conversation. On the last Wednesday of the month, Swampscott residents are able to support a local nonprofit organization while satisfying their sweet tooth at Cookie Monster.
The School Committee hosted a meeting on Thursday, discussing middle school renovations, budget revisions and the Nahant revolving fund.
Speaking of budgets, Boston Magazine named Swampscott one of the Top 5 most affordable towns in Greater Boston, but the ever increasing taxes to homeowners might tell a different story.
