5 Things: Special Education Workshop

1. The Federation of Children with Special Needs will be in offering a workshop today at Town of Natick Town Hall today designed to help parents make decisions regarding their child's special education. The free event begins at 7 p.m.

2. Do you want to help Natick keep its trails in working order? Natick Trails Day will give you the opportunity to volunteer to work on the town's fields and trails while getting a little education on nature stewardship.
