Today, students and staff across Marlborough Public Schools came together to raise awareness for White Cane Safety Day. Students wore white in solidarity, while staff members who pre-ordered special blue shirts proudly showed their support. The first photo shows the group of participants at MHS. The second features MHS Principal Dr. Riley and Athletic Department Administrative Assistant Nikki Fallon showcasing the front and back of the shirts. The final photo highlights one of the awareness posters placed around the school to spread the message. The shirts feature a bold design: Front: "The Blind" in large black letters, with "And Visually Impaired" underneath. Four silhouettes of individuals with canes and a guide dog walk across a crosswalk in front of the Capitol skyline, with "White Cane Day 2024" printed below. Back: The phrase "Tap, tap, tap all day, everywhere from work to play" appears in white, alongside a large white cane and the same phrase in braille, with poofy clouds floating around. White Cane Safety Day is observed annually in October to promote the independence of individuals with visual disabilities and advocate for equal access for all. #WhiteCaneSafetyDay #MPSCommunity #AdvocacyForAll

Today, the MHS Business & Information Technology Department, in collaboration with the Marlborough Rotary Club, Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce, and local businesses, proudly hosted the MHS Reality Fair for Marlborough High School juniors. This engaging program provides students with a practical understanding of the financial responsibilities they will encounter in the real world. At the Reality Fair, students receive a paycheck based on their career choice and make real-life decisions about housing, transportation, utilities, clothing, and more by visiting vendors stationed throughout the event. They'll also face the "Wheel of Fortune/Misfortune," simulating life's unexpected financial twists! This invaluable experience enhances financial literacy and equips students with the skills to make smarter financial decisions. Special thanks to Jayne Haley, Business & Information Technology Teacher at MHS, for organizing this impactful event! Learn more about this event: 🎥 https://youtu.be/lT3NmnErvTU?si=hR8H2O0ggqktZeKa

🏃‍♂️ A special message from Coach Jeff Downin: 🏃‍♀️ We had an unforgettable meet at Ghiloni Park this week, hosting Oakmont, York High School (Maine), and MHS. What made it truly special was that Ted Hutch, an MHS graduate and legendary coach at York High, brought his top runners to compete in his hometown as part of his final season before retirement after 30+ years of coaching! 🏅 To honor Ted, we gifted him an MHS sweatshirt, and in return, he generously gave shirts to all the MHS runners. A big thank you to Ted for his years of dedication and inspiration! 🧡 🐾 And a huge shoutout to Coach Jeff Downin for organizing this incredible day! 🙌 #TheMarlboroughWay #MarlboroughPride #CrossCountry #CoachHutch #HometownMeet
