On Friday I visited Marlborough Middle School in Massachusetts, where I was lucky enough to …
Talk to three hundred forty sixth graders about TRACKING TRASH;
Shake the hand of science teacher Laura Kirshenbaum, who purchased my visit for her students at a charity auction and is helping those same students color Marlborough Middle School green;
Meet librarian Cathy Rosenstock, who managed every detail of the day, including a tasty homemade lunch served on a real plate;
Lunch with the creative, intelligent, and talented youth in the C.I.T.Y. Kids program, who made me the excellent signs of welcome decorating this post and, now, my office;
Hear about exciting research projects conceived and conducted by students;
Catch up with my good friend and fifth-grader Natalie, who I have known since before she was born.
Thank you Marlboro Middle School … it was a pleasure to spend a day with you!
