MATTNOYES.NET - OUT AND ABOUT

OCTOBER 22, 2007 - COLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, NORWELL, MA

What a group! It takes a very special group of first through fifth graders to have over 500 students all in one room for just under an hour with nothing but the best and most attentive behavior - but these kids left the best of impressions! The younger students provided the creativity, the older ones offered their sage wisdom - a great time had by all!

OCTOBER 21, 2007 - STEP OUT TO FIGHT DIABETES

What a wonderful time hosting the American Diabetes Association's "Step Out to Fight Diabetes" walk at Merrimack College in Andover! This ever-friendly group of kids and adults were full of smiles, energy and cheers as together, the combined efforts of over 300 participants raised in excess of $55,000 to fight diabetes, fund research, and spread education about the disease that affects 21 million kids and adults - one third of whom don't even know they have it! Many thanks to all of the participants who made this Sunday such a wonderful and successful day. 

OCTOBER 2, 2007 - SALTONSTALL SCHOOL, SALEM, MA

The first and second graders and I talked clouds, weather and even water cycle on my visit to Salem - pretty advanced for first and second grade, eh?!  These kids weren't dressed in their Halloween costumes yet, but the City of Salem was already decked out!
