Memorial Elementary School staff jump into action for choking child

May 18, 2022 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

Local news crews visited Memorial Elementary School in Natick to interview school employees who performed the Heimlich maneuver on a child who was choking on food in the cafeteria. Head custodian Mark Plant, and Emily DeOliveira, a cafeteria worker, were able to dislodge food from the student’s throat, and were lauded by school administration for taking action so quickly.

The student is fine and was expected to return to school on Wednesday, according to the reports.

WBZ-TV and WCVB-TV have the details and interviews.

Natick “Art in Bloom” exhibit showcases creations of area artists and floral arrangers

May 16, 2022 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

The Natick Garden Club, in association with the Natick Art Association and the Natick Center Cultural District, turned the blank canvas of Lebowitz Hall, on the lower level of the Morse Institute, into a background for interpretive live floral arrangements inspired by paintings, jewelry, woodwork pieces, mosaics, and more during a two-day long “Art in Bloom” event.

Participating members of the Garden Club were each assigned an artwork created by a member of the Art Association. From there, the gardeners used their imagination to tell a story in flowers. Floral arrangers explained their vision on an accompanying placard.

Arrangements featured below were created by members of the Natick Garden Club, except where noted. Here are some of the stunning creations:
