An Gorta Mór: The Irish Famine and Persistence of Hunger Today

Announcing the of winners of the “Under the Sea” Recycled Beach Trash Art Competition

After the beach clean-up this past fall, MVironment Club members were inspired to raise awareness of the need to keep our beaches clean.

The club appreciates all of the entrants in this valuable awareness-raising exhibition. The entries were judged by Emma Green-Beach from the Great Pond Foundation and Martha's Read More / Leia mais

Trip to Bentley is all Business

Here are a few pics from Mr. Josh Burgoyne's Business class' trip to Bentley this past Friday for the "Is Accounting for Me?" High School conference. Our six students (each school only gets 6) interacted with about 300 kids from across the state, as well as college upperclassmen and a panel of young business professionals. They also got a chance to tour the campus and catch up with a couple recent MVRHS alums over lunch. Read More / Leia mais
