Band fund-raiser in Abington

LATIN RETURNS — Julius Caesar’s famous phrase, “Veni, vidi, vici’’ — “I came, I saw, I conquered’’ — will once again be spoken in classrooms at Cohasset High School. Administrators have found a Latin teacher to replace a longtime instructor who left a year ago. The vacancy had depleted classical language instruction; the sole offering was an online-only virtual high school course. This fall, Theresa Raymond, who has taught Latin in Scituate, will take over a half-time position in Cohasset. Raymond has taught Latin for more than 20 years.

DOG WALK FOR A GOOD CAUSE — The Friends of the Plymouth Pound are planning their 19th annual Dog Walk fund-raiser for Sept. 11 in Plymouth’s Morton Park. Registration starts at 10 a.m. Following the walk, participants may join Friends volunteers at noon for a cookout. Find a sponsor form at www.gis.net/~fpp or on the Friends of the Plymouth Pound’s Facebook page. Proceeds from the walk go toward the Friends of the Plymouth Pound’s spaying and neutering services. Dogs must be on leashes with updated rabies vaccinations.

LIBRARY GROUNDBREAKING — The groundbreaking ceremony for the town’s new library, sponsored by the Walpole Public Library Board of Trustees and the Friends of the Walpole Library, is set for 10 a.m. on Aug. 24, at the corner of School and Stone streets. Local and state officials, including representatives of the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, will be on hand, along with the project architects and the general contractor. The library building, which will incorporate several energy-saving features, is expected to be completed by the spring of 2012. — Christine Legere
