| Oct/Nov | Equal Exchange Fundraiser |
After more than 20 years of growth, Equal Exchange now offers organic and sustainable grown coffees, teas, chocolates, cocoas, nuts and berries from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the United States. This easy and delicious fundraiser is sweet in more ways than one: not only are you raising money for Furnace Brook Middle School Enrichment Programs, but Fair Trade also supports small-scale farmers worldwide. Recent benefits of Fair Trade include micro loans for indigenous weavers in Guatemala, an ecotourism project in Nicaragua, new classrooms in El Salvador, and the use of organic farming practices. http://www.equalexchange.coop/index.php If you are interested in helping with this fundraiser, please contact Katherine Shields KCRLAW@comcast.net |

It is a cool club atmosphere to hang out with friends and dance/listen to the music of DJ Keith Hamlin. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Janet Singer Applefield, LICSW, Child Holocaust Survivor |
We are very fortunate to have Janet Singer Applefield LICSW, child Holocaust survivor, returning to the FBMS again this year. Mrs. Applefield will be presenting two one-hour sessions to the 8th grade students in the auditorium on (date TBD). Her extraordinarily moving story uses the Holocaust as a primary link to creating an awareness of acts of violence, racism and anti-Semitism. This program enhances the 8th grade curriculum which includes the study of WWII and the reading of The Diary of Anne Frank. The FBMS PTO would like to acknowledge the Marshfield Local Cultural Council and Massachusetts Cultural Council for funding the majority of this program. |
