(Courtesy of MVRCS) M ystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) hosted some special guests recently at 630 Salem St. in Malden. Students from Mystic Valley Regional Charter School (MVRCS) visited the building with a mission: to spread holiday cheer. The 630 Salem St. building, which is part of Malden Housing Authority, is home to older adults and people with disabilities. The building has collaborated with MVRCS for about a decade, but due to COVID-19, the holiday party was on hiatus. Everyone was excited for the celebration to return in 2023! Students and staff arrived in the afternoon to set up the Common Room and make sure everything was looking festive. The evening got underway with an elaborate holiday meal presented by the school. The MVRCS Band – guided by Music Director Robert Taylor – led a program of holiday songs complete with the sounds of real jingle bells. The school Chorus lent their vocal talents, inspiring everyone to sing along. ADVISORY | FROM PAGE 6 “Fuel-fired heating appliances like dryers, furnaces, boilers, and fireplaces are all sources of carbon monoxide,” State Fire Marshal Davine said. “If the vent or flue is blocked, this poisonous gas can reach deadly levels inside the home. Know where the vents on your home are, be sure to clear them when shoveling, and be careful not to blow snow onto them if using a snowblower.” Massachusetts fire departments detected CO at nearly 5,000 incidents in 2022, officials said, and 90% of these calls were at residential settings. The We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on! PUBLIC SKATING SCHEDULE 12-7 p.m. Sunday Monday Tuesday Residents of 630 Salem St. in Malden had a blast celebrating at the holiday party presented by Mystic Valley Regional Charter School. (Courtesy of MVRCS) The school also held lottery-style giveaways, offering numerous scratch tickets, gift cards and flower bouquets as prizes. MVRCS Director Alexander Dan stepped in as emcee for the drawings. Students helped with the drawings and prize selection and even provided live translation for Chinese-speaking residents. Residents had a wonderful time at the event and it put everyone in a joyous mood poison gas can cause headache, fatigue, dizziness and/or nausea at lower concentrations and death at higher concentrations. Exposure while asleep is particularly dangerous. Children, older adults and people with lung or heart disease are especially vulnerable. “We can’t see, smell, or taste carbon monoxide, but we can detect it with working CO alarms,” State Fire Marshal Davine said. “If your alarm sounds, get outside and call 9-1-1.” For more information on carbon monoxide and CO alarms, visit the https://www.mass.gov/ info-details/smoke-and-carbonmonoxide-alarms for the holidays.
