Cardboard Boats531 viewsSCOPE Week meant big fun at the beach in Mattapoisett for ORR Junior High seventh-graders who built their own boats and then raced them on June 5 in Mattapoisett. While half the students head off for Survival, the others enjoy a week of equally challenging tasks of the 40-year tradition of SCOPE that gives students a chance to learn while learning about themselves and each other.

Marion Natural History Museum531 viewsThe Marion Natural History Museum had a great time learning how to identify some of our rare turtles and what to do if we find one.

Many thanks to Brian Bastarach of Bristol County Agricultural High School’s Natural Resources Dep
