Mill Stream Places Flags

Mill Stream Grange members (l-r) Paul Lavender, Debbie Lavender, Ingrid Grenon, Jill Sampson, Laurie Cunningham, Natalie Heck, Kirsten Heck, and Allan Harville met recently to place flags on the graves of military service veterans at three cemeteries in Vienna.  Mill Stream is honored and proud to be able to participate in this community service project. The town of Vienna provides the flags every year…a special thanks to Chris Smith, selectman, for always making sure we have the flags in time for Memorial Day. Also, thanks to member Kathy Berry, who was the photographer.

Mill Stream Grange Supports Education

Mill Stream Grange members (back row l-r) Paula Hanley, Lisa Goucher, and Jill Sampson presented dictionaries to the two third-grade classes at Cape Cod Elementary School on March 7.  The students had fun learning about all the different ways to use the dictionary, and each spelled their name using the sign language chart.  The school is very supportive of Mill Stream’s effort and wholeheartedly welcomes us back every year. We’re honored to help support education in our area.

Mill Stream Grange Gets the Word Out!

Mill Stream Grange members Lisa Goucher (back row left)  and  Jill Sampson  (back row right) presented dictionaries to Carolyn Watkins’ third grade class at Mt. Vernon Elementary School on February 5th.  The students were enthusiastic about learning different ways to use the dictionaries, including the longest word, information on states, the Presidents, and the planets.  Each student was given a chance to sign their name after being shown the sign language chart. This is always the most popular part of the presentation. It was a fun learning experience for all!
