Eleanor W. Graham Middle School of Rexton is off to a tremendous start towards creating a multi-sensory room for its Methods and Resource teachers for their work with students with special educational needs. The Cartier Co-op, located in Richiboucto, has donated $5 000, a big first step in the school’s efforts to raise the $14 000 needed.
