Last week Tom Pincince addressed our students sharing his experiences about the Power of Social Media and how we should all THINK before posting. Smartphones of today were compared to cigarettes were of the 50s... Everybody smoked and only recently are we understanding the effects of them.  It will not be for several more years that we will begin to understand the effect of Smartphones and ... Social Media.

Congratulations to Sarah Kwon who was named by Lyme-Old Lyme High School English Department as the Rotary Student of the Month. Sarah was recognized for her passion for learning and the excellence with which she uses words in an artful and meaningful manner through all  modes of communication. Sarah is also so deserving of this award as she is a student who truly models the Rotary motto of  "service before self". She is a role model in our school community seeking out ways to help our community whenever possible.
