Superintendent’s Update

|

Margaret Mead, cultural anthropologist, once said, “Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.”

On March 14, those students at Suffield High School and Suffield Middle School, who chose to participate, were provided with a school sanctioned walk-out of class to express their support for the students of Parkland, Fla., in their concerns about school safety and to honor those who lost their lives. Student leaders met with administration and faculty to plan the event.
