Canoe Trip

Please bring in your permission slips. From last Friday we decided to spend some of the fundraiser money to defray the costs of the trip and we've found canoes (cutting down on rentals) AT MOST it will be $22 though we have plenty raised from equal exchange sales.

Permission slips from Harris in room 314

The Trash Sculpture

Set out before the town meeting. We've heard quite a bit of feed back all positive. Very interesting idea. Well done for all that helped, and special thanks to the Ms. Duggin and Ms. Antil for hosting the trash Monday night to Tuesday.

If you think your child is wearing trashy clothes, think again. Middleboro High School students are designing and creating their own original designs from recycled materials, and will be showcasing them at a "trashy" fashion show. The purpose if this show is to make teenagers and their parents realize that they don't have to spend all kinds of money on clothes. The students also hope to spread the idea of going green. These students have been working diligently for months and are excited to show off what they have come up with. The YESS club (youth environmental social society) developed the idea back in November and have been working ever since. The fashion show will be held on Friday April 11th at 7:30 p.m. at the Memorial Early Childhood Center (The old junior high, or 219 North Main Street.)
