Final Celebration Breakfast Recognizes Students' Achievements
Students celebrated their final few days together with a celebration breakfast to recognize their accomplishments and to thank our community partners for their support this year. Students each received a certificate recognizing their outstanding community service this semester and a class designed t-shirt. In attendance at the breakfast were 15 senior citizens from the Montague Senior Center, Katherine MacColl, who helped us with our pillow making project, Sue-Ann Hilton from Griffin's friends, Assistant Principal Kim Hearn, and several family members and friends. Students worked hard to prepare and serve a spectacular breakfast of bacon, homefries, pancakes and eggs to a very appreciative crowd.

Well Know Fabric Artist, Katherine MacColl, Gives Students a Quilting Primer
Katherine MacColl, a well-known fabric artist from Conway, Massachusetts, joined students on Thursday to help them in their latest project. Students plan to make quilts, pillows and stuffed animals for young people fighting cancer. In conjunction with Griffin's Friends, a group providing support to children in treatment centered at Bay State Medical Center, RY students will donate the items they sew. Katherine gave students a wonderful primer, helping them with mathematical calculations and creative ideas. The project is well underway and we'll have some finished work soon!

Students Give A Happy Surprise to Children Fighting Cancer
This week RY students created magnificent cupcake creations for young people receiving treatment for cancer at Bay State Medical Center. Students made the cupcakes and wrote notes of encouragement that patients enjoyed following their treatment at the hospital. The cupcakes turned out wonderfully and I know that they'll bring a smile to the faces of all who see them.

Watch Out Cake Boss!
This week Christa from 2nd Street Bakery in Turners Falls visited and taught students the finer points of cake decorating. The results were amazing! Students all worked together to add one element to a birthday cake for a young lady living at the Family Inn. We really hope she enjoyed it.
We also had a great time at "Coffee and Conversation," a monthly event at the Montague Senior Center, where we got to spend some time with friends we met at the Brown Bag Program next month. Click below to read students' feedback on the week.
