EASTON – By late May or early June, Heather Morecock hopes to see her fellow students enjoying an outdoor classroom in a courtyard at Oliver Ames High School.
Morecock’s senior project, Thinking in Sunlight, is to create a place for students to learn out in the fresh air or just spend time. With COVID, having an outdoor classroom space will be particularly helpful.
“The goal of this project is not only to provide students with a unique learning space, but to also teach students the importance of fostering a respectful relationship with nature,” Morecock said. “It is my hope that this classroom will enhance Easton s pursuit of sustainable development.”

We were downsizing to a great space at Cordage from our location for the previous several years on Standish Avenue. And we were getting all new workstations, how cool! Well, the movers moved all of our stuff – and there it sits, waiting to be unpacked. Our computer network and phones were set up by our IT people, but we couldn’t get back in there to

MANSFIELD – A nurse, a woman home with a new baby and a family living in a motel all recently found a homemade pan of lasagna at their door.

Lasagna Love was started by Rhiannon Menn in San Diego, California, last spring as a way to keep busy and help others. After she was featured on the “Today Show,” Lasagna Love spread across the U.S. and is now delivering 3,500 meals a week.
