Overall though, McGrath said the play, as an inclusion project, worked very well. “Next year we will be opening it up to all grades — three, four and five,” she said. Principal Beverly Bachelder praised the efforts of all those involved with the production, say- ing, “We’re really proud of how hard the special education team works to make this happen.” The play follows Iris, a student at Greenhouse Elementary School, and her pursuit to save a garden and its bustling ecosystem from being destroyed and paved over for a playground. Alisia Demeo, who played Sunny Flower, the happy sun- flower, said getting ready for the play took a lot of hard work. “We went over our lines a lot,” Demeo said before going on stage Christopher Tanguay photos Tuesday. “Sometimes, we had to Peapods Garrett Grann, Bridgitte Billings, Allison Mateer, Katie Brown and teacher Meggie Doyon-Morel. stop to see the actions.

Michael White, who was also in the play last year, said, “I’m excit- ed and nervous at the same time,” just before the play began. White played an aphid, which he explained, “actually eats all the leaves.” White said his favorite part of his role was the funny voice he got to use when saying his lines. Students were joined on stage by special guest stars Bachelder and Dean of Students Robert Godbout.

A word of thanks to all our veterans who served with patriotism and pride. Memorial Day Memorial Day is a United States public holiday that takes place on the last Monday of May. It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commem- orates U.S. men and women who died in military service for their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action. Today, many Americans use Memorial Day weekend to also honor family members who have passed away. Many people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A National Moment of Remembrance takes place at 3 PM. Another tradition is to fly the U.S. Flag at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. Memorial Day is also observed in family gatherings and a nice DRAPERIES,BLINDS,WALLPAPER &MORE long weekend.

It was not until Barsamian was an adult, studying for a bachelor’s degree in the 1960s that his matri- archs began sharing their stories of fear, loss, and ultimately, peace.
