Aluminum Can Recycling Project

Please help us fill our Can Tainer
as many times as possible this year

The CHS Fire Academy Can Tainer on Sept. 1st, 2011

The Concord High School Fire Academy has partnered with Can Do Recycling - South and is in the process of trying to Recycle as many cans as possible. This not only saves energy, but provides us with a year round income by getting the local community and the school community to recycle their cans to assist the CHS Fire Academy.

Copy and Paste this on your Facebook Status to share with your friends and help us fill the CanTainer.

"If you have recyclable Aluminum cans at home please consider bringing them to school and depositing them in our large Can Recycling Container adjacent to the Softball field at the edge of the Student Parking Lot. Encourage your neighbors to join in the efforts as well. This facility is available 24 hours / day and 365 days a year. Thank You for your support!"

Chief Barlow's Mother Emily M. Barlow Passes

Emily Barlow

This is a short entry to say Thank You for all of your thoughts and prayers during this time of loss for the Barlow Family.
The Link will take you to her obituary.

Emily M. Barlow

After returning from Rhode Island, I found a Maple Tree in my truck as a Memorial for my mother. It is so appropriate since I collected Maple Sap with my mother as a young child and learned how to make Maple Syrup. Thank You Amber and Mrs. Cline for orchestrating such an appropriate Memorial.
It is now planted in my front yard.
How To Make Maple Syrup

Thank You to the Concord Fire and Life Safety Crews that covered my classes during the four days that I was out.
Thanks also to the Concord Professional Firefighters Association for the plant in memory of my mother.
