Suffield High School’s Rotary Student of the Month for November, Julianna is a senior and a member of our National Honor and World Language Honor Society, and is the president of both societies. She was also the World Language Student of the Month in her sophomore year.

Brittani Burke Does It Again

In the October issue of the Observer, I wrote that Brittani Burke, a June graduate of the Suffield Agriscience program, had won two awards. Now she has won a third award, the prestigious Eastern Regional Star Farmer Award, which represents an area from Maine to West Virginia.

Bobcats

On the afternoon of December 8, the photographer’s family in a Bramble Ridge condo off Bridge Street was super excited seeing these two bobcats in the backyard. They looked like a mother and her young.
