Orange and Blue Perennials are Planted Here in Memory of a Little Boy
On May 15, 2013, a group of MOKIES members planted orange and blue perennials in front of the North Attleboro Park and Recreation Department building in honor of Aydan Nyberg, an 8-year-old boy from Cumberland, RI who had lost his battle with leukemia on April 20, 2013. So many MOKIES had joined Aydans Army, followed his story, prayed for his recovery, and were devastated by his passing. We wanted to do something to always remember this amazing young man. I was reminded once again, 6 years later, about the beautiful child that was lost far too soon during a visit to the Park and Rec office at Mason Field earlier today. Big, bright, blooming orange flowers covered the front of the building, and I instantly thought of Aydan. Thank you to everyone who was there that day to help us clear out the area, dig and plant. And thank you to Park and Rec for allowing us this prominent location to plant these flowers for Aydan. |

These North Attleboro Middle School Girls Did a Great Job!
The first Lemonade Stand for Charity of summer 2019 was a big success. These girls ended up raising $130 for Save the Children! They can now send TWO goats to help feed a family in need in Sudan. After the stand closed, a couple of the girls took the remaining baked goods to the police station for our officers to enjoy. Thanks to everyone who came out to support these girls. |
