How the name was born:
The Aspergers Autism class at Mount Pleasant High as well as family members joined the Autism Walk @Goddard Park and the name The Blue Rose Team was thought up by 1 student (John) & his brother ( Bruce). The group agreed that each year this is the name they will walk in pride of.
These boxes are located at Mount Pleasant High School in RI's capital. To start your adventure you should be parked where the rocks go round and the stadium can be seen.
Beware of the fours while searching for these boxes. Take along Markers (which are preferred to put colors) or an ink pad as there is none being left. BEWARE of Poison Ivy @boxes 1&2!!

Box #1 The Kilty Kittens
On August 30, 2007 4 kittens and their mother were found in the basement of MPH. The entire school helped raise money so that the kittens could be fed while looking for a good home for them. The kittens took the name 'The Kilty Kittens' after the mascot for the school. (a Scotsman in a kilt) This is where the name came from.
Now to find the box you must first you must enter the opening where the 5 trunk tree is. Find the path to your left and follow to the V. At the V go to the right. Soon you will see where the green balls bounce. Cont. on the path to where the balls fly over home plate. Once here you must look to the left to find the mound of dirt and the entrance to the woods. Once inside you will be standing under an archway. You need to follow the small path to the left past a big tree on the right. Approx 8 steps from here directly in front of you, you can find a family reunion. At the base under twigs and rocks you will find your 1st box. Make sure to re-hide.


Box #2 MPH Café
In 2006 the Aspergers Autism class decided to open a teachers café. This was in hopes to teach social skills to these children. The café has been a success since it started and has taught these students responsibility, how to be a team player, as well as make coffee by order, muffins, order supplies and to communicate with others.
Return to the path and walk back towards your car. You will pass a balance beam and will soon see another passage. Take a step up to your destination. Go straight towards the golf course but do not enter the GC. On your right you will see a bunch of rather large rocks. Look far beyond and you will see a rock which looks like an arrowhead laying down with 2 round rocks behind it. Between these rocks you will find your cup of coffee. Again rehide well.

Box #3 M.P.H.
M. P. H. has a separate Aspergers classroom and not in the Birch portion. The Aspergers program is small and is quite new to the school. The students have adapted well over the 4 yrs they've been here. Children have learned what it is to have such a special, great and splendid talent. They've learned to make friends, joke around and be social with all.
Go back to the path and continue on staying to the right. Across from where the green balls bounce you will see what looks to be a Beavers Dam. The clue here will be the black marking below where you will find your prize. Be discrete this is a open area!

#4 BONUS
This box is dedicated to all children/adults whom are on the Autism/Special Needs Spectrum and are
'Enjoying life as WE know it.'
Walking back towards your car you will then see a 4 trunk tree. To the right will be a stone wall. Follow this wall to the dead end. Through the fence at arms length under several rocks you will find our appreciation. Returning to the path will be you to your car.
