Finally, 2016-17 is \u201cLa Valla Year\u201d, a recollection of the humble beginnings of the Brothers while looking ahead to the next 100 years and beyond. The #MillionMarists social media campaign on January 2nd was just one of a number of events that will take place over the next several months. These include a Gala celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Esopus, La Valla Weekend at Esopus (3\/24 to 3\/26), a global day of service on March 29th, and a National Assembly Celebration (6\/13 to 6\/17) in Poughkeepsie.

Green club with Molloy's new recycling bins.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a>Fall 2016 saw plenty of changes ushered in at Molloy, including a new lobby and main entrance, new security features, and many new teachers and staff. One more important change is the addition of green recycling bins around our campus.&nbsp;<strong>Mr. Chris Dougherty \u201991<\/strong>, moderator of the I A.M. Green Club, worked with students to get the idea off the ground. \u201cThere is no reason cardboard boxes, magazines, books, and other paper products should be thrown away or wasted, because that doesn\u2019t help the environment,\u201d said Mr. Dougherty. Principal Penikas and his fellow administrators agree, and now the new green bins live in each classroom and throughout the halls. The bins are for paper products only, while plastic, aluminum, and other recyclables can be discarded in their own bins in the student cafeteria. (<em>Pictured:&nbsp;Mr. Dougherty and I A.M. Green club with Molloy&#8217;s new recycling bins.<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Schools traditionally use a large quantity of paper, and historically Molloy has been no different. In recent years, however, Molloy has made a more concerted effort to go green. Several years ago, when Molloy was seeking&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msche.org\/\">Middle States<\/a>&nbsp;accreditation, one of the objectives that faculty and staff agreed on has been to make our school more environmentally friendly by reducing waste. This has been achieved initially with the introduction of iPads, which has reduced the use of paper significantly, as well as with the addition of the green bins and other recycling units. Moving forward, expect to hear more about Molloy\u2019s efforts to go green, as our faculty, staff, and students are committed long-term to protecting our environment.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_9822.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-15036\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000; margin: 8px;\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_9822-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"Campus Ministry with some of the 851 toys donated for children in need.\" width=\"280\" height=\"176\"><\/a>Campus Ministry Holds Successful Toy Drive <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This Christmas, Molloy students donated 851 new toys to help brighten the season for those in need.
