Community partners contribute to HES courtyard garden
Fourth-grade students at Harwich Elementary School recently participated in a project to build, paint, and install a dozen birdhouses in the school’s courtyard garden. Volunteers from Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders donated their time to help the students build and paint the birdhouses, and then worked with students to place and install the birdhouses in the courtyard garden area. The birdhouse materials were part of a grant from The Garden Club of Harwich to recertify the Harwich Elementary School garden as a National Wildlife Federation Schoolyard Habitat.

Monomoy Middle School students enjoy an awesome performance of Phantom of the Opera
Many students may never have the opportunity to step into a majestic, historic theater and enjoy a live performance, which is just one of the reasons why Monomoy Regional Middle School administrators and teachers work tirelessly each year to plan a whole-school field trip to regional theaters to attend a professional musical production. This year, nearly 500 MRMS students and staff traveled to the Providence Performing Arts Center to experience “Phantom of the Opera” – the longest-running Broadway musical ever produced!
