Drawing of proposed new school building at the Home for Little Wanderers.
Residents who live next to the Home for Little Wanderers got a chance to express their frustrations about the facility during Monday night’s Planning Board meeting.
The home wants to build a new education building and tear down a pair of aging structures, architect Michael Whitmore said. While the new building is only about 800 square feet larger than those it’s replacing, it will meet current educational standards, he added. It will also allow for other buildings be used for vocational courses.
Manomet Elementary held its annual art show on Thursday, May 9.
The theme of Ancient Egypt shimmered throughout the school. Ornate sarcophaguses and a Great Sphinx mural created by the students, under the direction of Marsha Hanby, added a theatrical flair to the event. Works in clay, as well as paintings of animal imagery, were the primary focus of the art.
The Jaws of Life were needed to get a Plymouth woman out of her car after an accident at the intersection of Manomet Point Road and State Road, Saturday afternoon.
