In Milton, skaters take a back seat to the needs of Curry College.
Families loved the Max Ulin Ice Rink, a place where they could skate for free, get rental skates for growing feet, and buy a cup of hot chocolate at the snack bar while the Zamboni machine polished the ice. Back in 2009, when the state still ran the rink, records show that managers opened the doors for 40 hours of public skating during December school vacation. (Read the full story here.)

On Friday, February 27, the Milton High School Recycling Club gathered after school to shovel snow and free the recycling toters. The recycling toters have been engulfed in snow for the past several weeks so the trucks could not empty them. As a result, all recycling in the school was suspended. Twelve students and two advisors scavenged the school for shoveling equipment–one student even had to go home to bring back more shovels!
