It’s official! The City of Somerville’s Snow Plows now have their own unique names thanks to Somerville’s pre-K and Kindergarten students and teachers. Somerville Public Schools pre-K and K classrooms partnered with Somerville’s Department of Public Works on a Snow Plow Naming Contest as a fun way to help our youngest learners learn and think about some of our city’s important community helpers during the winter months.
