On October 29th, our CAD Drafting and Machine Tech students had an inspiring visit to the Merrimack Library, where they met Robert, a talented artist keeping his father’s legacy alive. His father was a master metalworker, creating everything from antique cars to miniature houses—turning imperfect metal into incredible works of art. Today, Robert honors his father’s creativity through watercolor paintings, blending his father’s metal masterpieces with family portraits and playful haikus. Over the past 12 years, more than 25,000 people have experienced their story firsthand. Truly a lesson in creativity, craftsmanship, and keeping memories alive! ✨

🍂 Leave the Leaves! 🍂
Each weekend this fall, the sound of leaf blowers fills the air—but have you ever wondered what happens if you just let the leaves be? It may seem simple, but leaving the leaves does incredible things for nature!
Whittier’s Environmental Club encourages our community to “leave the leaves” to support the insects, bees, birds, and small animals that rely on leaf litter for warmth and shelter during the winter. Even raking leaves into garden beds or under trees can make a difference. 🌿
Let’s work together to protect habitats and help nature thrive! 🌎
