Franklin Library: Fun on the Trail

The Franklin and Bellingham Rail Trail Committee has collaborated with the Franklin Library to put this pair of events together. Your child makes an art craft one Saturday (Sept 20) and then takes a walk on the trail the next (Sept 27) to find the art craft.

Nice combination of art and exercise!

In the News: Tri-County NASA connection

For another year, a select group of Tri-County Regional Vocational High School students have been named official employees of NASA, joining other schools from across the country to design and build technology that may one day be used on the International Space Station. 

NASA accepted Tri-County into the High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) program in 2011, and for the past three years, teams of science and engineering students have been developing projects to test in zero gravity.  

Tri-county Regional Voc Tech

Last April, six seniors traveled to Ellington Field in Houston, Texas, to try out their mass flow meter — a device that measures the mass flow rate of a fluid as it moves through a tube — aboard a zero gravity plane. 

This year, 15 seniors and 22 juniors will start new projects or continue work they started last year, such as a mixer for fresh foods that must work in zero gravity.
