Page 8 Medway & Millis Local Town Pages www.localtownpages.com October 2019 M.E.R.I.T. Haunted Hayride October 19th By J.D. O’Gara Come dig up a few friends and drag them over to Tangerini’s Farm on October 19th where M.E.R.I.T. (Millis Educational Resource Initiatives Team) is brewing up a hairraising Halloween haunt for its Annual Haunted Hayride. The event will take place beginning at 4:30, with a less creepy adventure from 4:30-6:30 and the more devilishly dreadful antics taking place from 6:30-10 p.m. Refreshments, such as cookies, water, hot chocolate and popcorn, will be available for $1. Tickets are $10. “I always like to point out that spooky is still spooky, so use your judgment when it comes to young children,” says Theresa Mahoney, President of the M.E.R.I.T. Board of Directors. According to Mahoney, the annual affair is generally planned with a skeleton crew. “We’re always looking for fresh blood,” she muses. “We could always use more volunteers, as with any nonprofit organization. We do appreciate the volunteers we have running the scare stations. We couldn’t do it without them.” This is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the all-volunteer organization that funds educational initiatives in the Millis Public Schools, although it will also host a scarecrow decorating contest at the Millis Middle School this year, in which classrooms will take turns creating the creepy characters, and families purchase tickets to vote for their favorites. The tickets later act as a raffle of sorts, with the winning family collecting the scarecrow for their home. Unlike previous years, the Haunted Hayride will have an alternate date, in case of catastrophic weather. “Last year we had to cancel it in the first time ever in the history of the hayride, because safety was a concern, which was hard for us,” says Mahoney. “This year, for the first time, we do have a nor’easter date – still rain or shine—but in case of imminent death—it’s October 26th.” Mahoney says the group hopes to sell 700 tickets to the Haunted Hayride. Tickets will be available for sale starting October first at Roche Bros. and Tangerini’s, and two ticket sales, on October 5th and October 12th, will be held from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Millis Public Library. Mahoney would also like to scare up a few corporate sponsors both for the event and to increase fund the group has for grants. MERIT has given back to the schools over $300,000 since 1991, welcoming applications from teachers, administrators and residents for proposals that address curriculum-related learning projects. Projects should enhance and improve the educational services of the Millis Public School system. Last year, for example, grants M.E.R.I.T. (Millis Educational Resource Initiatives Team) will hold its annual Haunted Hayride at Tangerini’s Spring Street Farm on October 19th, rain or shine. (N’oreaster date: Oct. 26) Contributed photos courtesy of M.E.R.I.T. funded such initiatives as a field trip to the international WWII Museum, a Vocational Office Skills Project for special education, a research initiative by the MS/ HS librarian, Project Safe Space by a school adjustment counselor, STEM projects, a wellness program, a program on creating a multi-sensory, multi-movement classroom, a biome building project and more. M.E.R.I.T. is currently accepting grant proposals, and the grant application can be found on its website. MERIT would not be able to provide these grant awards without community support. MERIT is always looking for donations, volunteers, and corporate sponsors.
