These external resources are only one of many cost-effective avenues pursued. Vocational-technical staff consistently work with facility personnel and students to make selfimprovements to the nearly 60-year-old facility.

The cost-effective approach of consistently competing and securing external revenue dollars has not gone unrecognized by the Finance Committee members who annually review the proposed budget request. Several have referred to the approach as wise and savvy.

The Budget Subcommittee is building a plan worth supporting. There will be a Public Hearing on March 23rd beginning at 5 p.m. in the Media Center at the school. 65 Pleasant St., Upton. It is an opportunity for residents to consider the proposed budget, which puts resources behind supporting student success.

Dust off those relics and join us as we discover which items may be priceless and which might end up in your yard sale! On March 25th the Mendon Historical Society will host its own Antique Appraisal Show. Kevin Bruneau, Travis Landry and Joel Bohy from Bruneau & Co. of Cranston RI will be available on site to appraise your items for a small fee of $5.00 for one item and $10.00 for three and to answer questions about auctions, values, and trends.
