January 18, 2010- Group 2

Enjoy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
Please remember today is a good time to honor the efforts and dreams of Mr. King!

Congratulations to Gracie Leete who was awarded Student of the Month!
Great job Grace, you truly deserve it!

We had a very busy and exciting week!

Mr. Tim Hodgkins, Account Manager from New England Coffee, visited with Group 2 to discuss how the coffee production process takes place. We learned that coffee originates as a bean from a cherry tree that is hand- picked mainly in South America, Central America, Africa and even Hawaii. It takes 4,000 coffee beans to make a pound of coffee. The students learned about the roasting, cupping, manufacturing, grinding, packaging and distribution processes. Hopefully we will have an opportunity in the spring to view this process 1st hand on a tour at the New England Coffee manufacturing plant in Malden! The students were the lucky recipients of a gift package from Tim that included a tee shirt, a baseball cap, a bookmark and an information/activity booklet. It was an enlightening and fun afternoon.
