Combined Brown, Jeffrey, and Ryerson Beach clean up was a success!!
Here are a few photos (please check out the rest on Facebook)… from what seems like such a beautiful clean beach we still found a good amount of trash (outside of the busy season) in a about 30 minutes time of trash collection. If you’re ever at the surf club please visit the trash station next to the playground where you can pick up a bucket and pick up trash for just a few minutes you can make a difference! Please remember to dispose of the trash in the dumpsters nearby and return the buckets. Thank you!!

Happy Veterans Day to all the men and women who served our country!!
At Jeffrey we honored our veterans this year with yard signs in front of the school!
“Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.” Harry Truman
Please check out the video of the yard signs…

Who: Madison youth, ages 4-18 years old, sharing their crafts with the public
What: An open-air market (no food) consisting of crafts made by the kids at home, and sold to the public on the Madison town green.
Where: Madison Town Green
When: Sunday, May 26th from 1-3pm (with a rain date scheduled for Monday, May 27th 1-3pm)
Contact Kerrin Falk Forsyth to sign up your child and/or be a parent volunteer:
781-733-3980
Why and a little bit of history:
The idea for this market was formed in Hingham, MA, where Kerrin lived with her husband and three girls for 11 years. In Hingham, Kerrin and her friend ran a market just like this for about 8 years, and with great success! She became passionate about bringing this market to Madison soon after moving back to town in January and discovering that there was nothing like it in town. Kerrin stresses that crafts should be made entirely by the child, with little to no parental help. The experiences that the children have selling their crafts- and even buying from each other- are invaluable as it gives children a chance to interact with others (eye contact, answering questions), describe their craft and the creation process, handle money, figure out profit and margin, and overall just have a wonderful, fun experience!
More information will be sent out, but if you plan on signing up your children please contact Kerrin. Keep in mind that for the actual event, each family will bring their own table or share a table with a friend. We also plan on arriving at the event 30 minutes prior to set up - so around 12:30. More info will be sent for parking and traffic flow, etc.
If you would like to be a parent volunteer and help Kerrin out for day-of, or leading up to the event, please contact her asap. Help will be needed with getting the word out and distributing lawn signs once they are made.
