Outreach/Cooperative Efforts
The commission participated in the Old Lyme Visiting Nurse
Association’s annual health day at Christ the King Church. The
event took place on November 1.
George proposed two projects to several LOLHS teachers:
- the photo project which would bring science of the natural world to students
through their camera lenses and could culminate in students entering their work in the Land Trust’s annual photo contest
- a public service project that would require students to take land records
and find and mark boundaries.
