BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO ALL THE MEMBERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE WILD THINGS!!!!

THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING SHOW!!! The original production written and directed by Alex Cobb, based on "Romeo and Juliet” and "West Side Story" debuted last week at Cloonan Middle School. The Wild Things was a new story of love, passion and a will to survive and was set in the 19th century, with a modern day twist. Two rival gangs were fighting over the right to claim the "junkyard" and their territory and one young lady (our Maria) was fighting for a place in Romeo's heart.  Thank you to everyone that helped bring this show to life!  This impressive and memorizing show will forever leave a lasting impression in our memory. Please click on "Play Production" to see more photos from the play.

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

SPEF took 35 students from the Stamford Mentoring Program at Cloonan Middle School on a field trip to the Mill River Park.  They were met at the park by mentors and students in Dr. Monica Miller’s Service Learning Class.  This is was the third activity Dr. Miller’s class has participated in with students in the Mentoring Program this semester.  One of the UConn students, Cindy Newman, sent a thoughtful description of what the day meant to her.

In all, we had about 60 people working on a variety of projects to beautify the park.  Staff from the Mill River Collaborative spoke to the group before the work started about the history of the park, the scope of the long term project and the importance of keeping the park area  clean in order to bring birds, fish and wildlife back into their natural habitat.  They did a great job of coordinating the various projects and making sure our volunteers had all the tools they needed.  Our friend Christina Chiarelli, from ItsRelevant.com, was on hand to capture the spirit of the day.
