The Marlboro Educational Foundation is helping our schools go green! A disctrict-wide grant was recently provided by the MEF for Go Green Bike Power Generators. The MEF donated 12 Green Bikes at a cost of $1,800 each. A bike was demonstrated at the teacher's meeting held before the first day of school where it powered a stereo system while a teach pedaled!
