Hart Middle School shows pride in their community! On May 7th, Student Council members picked up trash along the Hart-Montague Rail Trail from the trailhead on Water St. to Mears. It was a beautiful day to work on beautifying something that is used by many residents and visitors in our area!

The middle school participates in the district provided "Shred-It" shredding and recycling program. The company visits our building each month and shreds paperwork that contains personal information. All material that is shredded is subsequently baled and recycled thus saving precious natural resources. Through our efforts this year we were proud to have saved 12.45 trees from destruction!

Four groups of students just finished 6 weeks of specific lessons tailored for their needs in a Social Skills Group with Mrs. Albus. One group did so well they are having a celebration lunch with her on Friday, April 26. A couple more groups will be finishing up next week and we are hopeful they will earn a celebration lunch as well.

In honor of Earth Day, the Conservation Office was very generous in donating a White Pine sapling for every child at Diman-Wolf ECC and Playgroup. The children were excited to take the trees home to plant with their families.
