Ropes Course Day a "Flying" Success

On October 27, students traveled to Greenfield Community College to participate in a day of group building sponsored by the Outdoor Leadership Program. We were able to not only participate in some interesting activities on the ground, but also climbed high into the treetops on the flying squirrel, the catwalk and the multivine (pictures will be added soon!). We want to thank Eileen, Ian, Beth, Sara, George, and Jen for giving us such a great day!

A Very Big Week

Last week was a very big week for both RY classes. First, many students took a field trip to Pumpkin Fest in Keene, NH and had a great night listening to live music, looking at some fabulous pumpkins and eating great food. Second, students volunteered to make pies for the Franklin Area Survival Center's Thanksgiving food give-away and have already peeled 3 cases of apples in anticipation. They also were interviewed by the Montague Reporter, and a very nice story about them appeared in Friday's edition. Also, Don from MCTV began filming for a short documentary about the class and will do more filming today. Read the students' comments below about these events!

Students Make a Big Splash at the Senior Center

Five RY students enjoyed a little time with a group of senior citizens at the Montague Senior Center for their monthly "Coffee and Conversation" get together. Students arrived with homemade cake, brownies and cookies in tow and spent about an hour getting to know some new friends. Click below to see what they thought about their trip.

RY Students Pretty Up the Family Inn

On September 30, students visited the Family Inn in Greenfield to do some landscaping. During the morning, we weeded a large embankment full of daylilies and planted daffodil bulbs in the front of the house that will come up in the Spring. It was a fun project that we'll have to wait until April to really appreciate.
