An Educator’s Inspiration
|
Thank you, Observer, for the serendipity which surprised me in your March issue. Jane Shipp’s article and the photograph “warmed the cockles of my heart.”
The warming sent me to Wikipedia to refresh my memory about cockles.

Women’s History in Suffield
|
The Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame organization teaches us that “women’s lives have been filled with rich experiences, and their daily contributions are an invaluable part of our history that has too often been overlooked.”
With that insight in mind during the winter term, Suffield Academy’s American Studies class reviewed the history of Suffield with a focus on women’s history and now look forward to making a multimedia presentation during the Suffield Historical Society meeting on April 23 at 7 p.m.
The meeting will be held at the Suffield Senior Center. The meeting is open to the public, and newcomers are most welcome.
Please come out to learn more about women’s history in Suffield and email Bill Sullivan with any questions regarding this program: bsullivan@suffieldacademy.org
