Full STEAM Ahead with Turn the Tide!

From AWARENESS to ACTION, 
TCS students are making a difference.
September 2019



  
9/9/19 Madison Selectman pass ordinance to eliminate plastic bags in Madison.

"This morning the 5 member Board of Selectmen for the Town of Madison unanimously passed a Hybrid Plastic Bag Ban. Still waiting for the exact date for it to be in effect, but if all proceeds as planned, the ban and paper bag fee shall be in effect by the end of 2019 at the latest (3 months after this approval)."  (Fran Brady BYO Madison President)

A special shout out to seventh grade students at The Country School, Michaela and Cooper for speaking at the Madison town meeting in front of the 5 selectman to tell them about our Turn the Tide on plastic campaign here on the TCS campus for the last year. They were poised and confident and really impressed the adults in attendance!
