An endless summer
Going nautical
at The Dock Shop
When you first set foot in The
Dock Shop, whether at 51 Tokeneke
Road in Darien, or 609 Riverside
Avenue, Westport, youll know
immediately youre in a very unique
shop.
The Dock Shop features a collection of nautical-themed items,
summer.
These carefully selected items
most of which are made in the
United States and New England
are the perfect gift for the boater,
beach bum or fisherman in your
life.
Most of the manufacturers of
January Term was an experiment. We had the entire 9th grade step out of the familiar
to work full-time in teams. They chose human rights challenges and were asked to
explore viable solutions. Teachers acted as mentors but students steered the ship. They
interviewed experts, they researched, they brainstormed and finally they presented
ideas. In a nutshellthey blew us away.

Frequent handwashing is
a great way to prevent illness. Handwashing habits
are essential for school-aged
children and should be taught
as soon as possible. Children
should wash their hands after
they use the bathroom and
before they eat. If theyve
been playing outside or have
interacted with children
who are sick, hand washing can help remove some of
the germs lingering on their
hands. Antibacterial wipes are
another option, but they may
not be as effective as washing hands with warm, soapy
water.
