The flurries earlier in the week led way to this morning's coating and the sound of snow plows driving by.  With a temperature high in the low 20s, we're likely to see it at least all day.

Congratulations to Madden Barnes, who received the Optimist Club's Youth of the Month Award last week!

The MPS Student Council thanked Veterans with a Breakfast on Thursday.  Superintendent Chafee tweeted these two pictures:




Also tweeted was a well deserved congratulations to "NYS 4-H Dairy Judging Team that competed at the North American International Livestock Exposition, in Louisville. Abigail W. & Kathleen G. were team members. Their team was 5th out of 23 teams and 5th in oral reasons."



The Waterville Residential Care Center held their Volunteer Luncheon for their "dedicated, dependable, selfless, 40 active volunteers."
