A Message from Ms. McKay
Not many schools would take their entire K-2 student body on a walking field trip to a Chocolate Church to see a show about recycling, but the Dike-Newell students are so awesome, we did it! We had a wonderful walk to the show, enjoyed a 45-minute "Enviroganza" with Jack Golden, (a.k.a. Dr. T with a phD in Garbology) and a walk back. The weather was perfect, student behavior was top notch, and we really enjoyed the show! Great job Dike-Newell School, and thank you Chocolate Church, Matthew Glassman, and Casella for sponsoring our excursion. We can't wait to go see another show!
