Last week Woolwich Central School 8th grade students participated in the FLOW program (Fundamental Learning On Water) at Chewonki. From Tuesday to Friday, students canoed to various islands in Hockomock Bay, participated in many cooperative activities and games, and practiced their wilderness skills while camping. They learned about sustainable living by taking care of animals at the farm and processing the compost.

Many students came out and shopped the donated dresses, suits, shoes and accessories making yesterday wildly successful! Morse will continue to collect formal wear throughout the year as we hope to offer this event before every dance. Collection bins are in the main lobby.
