"take advantage of the opportunity"

Months before they even get a diploma, some Franklin High School seniors are preparing to head into the real world.

Beginning its second year, the school's senior project course gives 35 seniors a taste of being part of the work force before they graduate.

"Senior project is the smartest and best thing that Franklin High School has done for its students," said 2009 graduate John Congdon, who participated last year.

solar compactor down at the track

The solar powered trash compactor has been moved to the Franklin High School Track. As I recall this had been positioned downtown, opposite the Post Office, under a tree. I recall musing, would it get enough solar attention under the tree? Maybe it wasn't or maybe it was decided that this would be a better place.

Either way, as I ran my workout at the track today, I noticed it there. It may have been positioned here earlier. With the winter weather this was the first time for me to get to the track this year. I look forward to getting there more often now that the weather is breaking.

"I am so proud to have a group of such motivated, committed students like the Teenangels in my community," Vallee said in a press release. "We can't, of course, legislate what parents should be teaching at home - courtesy, respect, and the Golden Rule - but we can put a plan in place to help school administrators and teachers swiftly and effectively address bullying if it does occur in their classrooms."

The Teenangels, a group of 17 seventh- and eight-graders, is a chapter of Wiredsafety.org that trains students in online safety, privacy and security.
