Darien Students Create Scary Artwork DARIEN, Conn. – Students used their imaginations to produce some horrifying projects last week as they created plaster monsters in the eighth-grade art classes at Middlesex Middle School. Students explored the meaning and function of a "monster" through a PowerPoint presentation with visuals that helped them imagine what their monsters would look like. The projects combine emotions, historical art figures such as gargoyles, and other visuals from different forms of media. Send photos of your Darien student's art to [email protected].

Letter: Darien Shuffle Won't Affect School Budgets Letter: Darien Shuffle Won't Affect School Budgets Letter: Darien Shuffle Won't Affect School Budgets
Letter: Darien Shuffle Won't Affect School Budgets DARIEN, Conn. – The following letter on the Suffle Project was submitted by Jennifer Montanaro of Darien. I was surprised to read letters last week stating that the approval of the facilities move would impact the education budget. As a former PTO Co-Chair and participant for several years in the Board of Education budget process, I think some clarification is needed. Money that would be spent on the renovation of 35 Leroy and the new Mather Community Center is capital funding from the Board of Selectmen. It has no relation to the money that the Board of Ed needs for students. This funding,…

Letter: State Rep. Endorses Darien Republicans DARIEN, Conn. – The following letter was submitted by Terrie Wood, state representative for the 141st District. I am pleased to state my strong support of Jayme Stevenson for first selectman and Jerry Nielsen and David Campbell for selectmen. Working closely with Jayme, Jerry and Dave over the last two years in my state representative role, I know they serve the best interests of Darien in all that they do.
