In honor of Earth Day students will be sharing facts about the earth.  Today's fact is: A large portion of carbon dioxide emissions comes from cars.  This week, try to carpool if you can. It's an easy, but super efficient way of reducing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.  Temperatures have risen almost 3.5 degrees F in just Massachusetts since the beginning of the 20th century.

Blanchard's Outdoor Adventure Club will hike up Kissacook Hill, TOMORROW.  We will leave at 2 pm and be back in time for late bus.  Students need a signed permission slip.  Pick up a copy in the Learning Commons or download one from the OAC webpage.

An important reminder:  Our new intramural boy's volleyball program starts today Monday, April 11th from 4:00-5:30 at the Stony Brook Gym. Any boys in grades 6,7 and 8 are eligible to join.  You MUST be registered in order to attend on Monday.  Registration links are found on Blanchard's Athletics page. This is a great opportunity to learn the skills for a sport that is gaining in popularity!

Registration is closed for all sports EXCEPT boy's volleyball.
