]]> Comment on Greenwich Water: Scarce and Precious by Jeanette Glover http://greenwichblog.com/2011/01/greenwich-water-scarce-and-precious/comment-page-1/#comment-187 Jeanette Glover Sat, 19 Mar 2011 20:35:23 +0000 http://greenwichblog.com/?p=5075#comment-187 I am a science teacher at Eagle Hill School in Greenwich. The Horseneck Brook runs right through our campus and I would love to get my students involved in a stream study of the brook. Would the Conservation Commission be interested in letting us do some monitoring of the brook? It would be great for the students to feel like their work is serving purpose to the community. Please let me know. Thanks! I am a science teacher at Eagle Hill School in Greenwich.

I'm halfway into Within A Budding Grove and it's just amazing. His voice gets in your head, and soon you start seeing things as if you were Marcel, and your sentences get longer and longer! I hope it's a great time for those who can make it to the discussion group. Wishing I was closer to Greenwich than Dallas! I’m halfway into Within A Budding Grove and it’s just amazing.

G'day, I'm Sirocco the Kakapo - you may have seen me on the Stephen Fry BBC programme Last Chance to See, when I got a bit over-friendly with Mark Carwardine! I'd already heard about Aaron, a very special young man (and the same age as me!)but I just wanted to say thank you for holding this event - it's really thrilling and touching to know that us kakapo have got friends so far away from where we live. Many thanks from all of us kakapo, and from your new friends in New Zealand. Sirocco Skraaark!
