Congratulations to Abby Halasi-Kun, who was chosen from among the junior class to receive the Connecticut Scholars Award, formerly known as the Governor’s Scholars Award.

Suffield Public Schools Food Service is pleased to introduce our new concept of a Sharing Table.
The Sharing Table is a place where students can place unopened food and drinks that they choose not to eat or drink. This provides an opportunity for other students to take additional helpings of food or beverages from the Sharing Table at no cost to them.

Thomas Drakeley has announced his retirement as superintendent of Stony Brooke and Sunrise Parks after having held the position for 14 years. Tom, with significant assistance from his wife Maryfran and their three now-youthful adult children, Sheila, Molly and Thomas, have served the town and park visitors splendidly throughout those years and will be greatly missed.
The Town of Suffield Conservation Commission will be seeking candidates to fill the Sunrise Park and Stony Brooke Park Superintendent position. Interested applicants should look for more information on the Town of Suffield website under Our Town / Town News / Job Openings.
John Spencer, the new chief of the Suffield Volunteer Ambulance Association, stated that he applied for the position because he appreciated the bond that exists between the community and the association. He feels that this relationship is very strong for such a small town.
