My husband and I have lived in several kinds of places: two medium sized cities, a large city and Suffield.
Richard Brown arrived in Suffield in 1996, beginning his long and successful career as a police officer here.
Most of us who live in Suffield have warm memories of one of our favorite traditions, the annual production of Suffield on the Green. The word “production” is an apt designation.
The weather was comfortable for Suffield Academy’s graduation ceremonies on May 28, on the back lawn of the campus. Families observed the school’s request for limited attendance, assuring social distancing; the event was also live-streamed, for the benefit of families and alumni.
A good school is always on the move, always considering ways to improve the program and/or the facilities, always looking to the future. That is certainly true of Suffield Academy, whose most recent plan for improvement is a new dormitory on its main campus.
Alex Voisine is a “local boy,” though no longer a boy and no longer local. He graduated from Suffield High School and went on to earn his B.A. from Temple University in Philadelphia in 2018, majoring in Spanish and Global Studies, with a minor in Latin American Studies.
Occasionally an uninformed voice is heard to express the opinion that libraries are antiquated–out of date–superfluous in the age of technology. How wrong that voice is, and never more in error than now.
They say a cat has nine lives; Suffield resident Cydonie Brown has had at least nine! She has been a communicator par excellence in all of them.
The First Congregational Church of Suffield is joyfully welcoming its new senior minister, the Reverend Diann Bailey. Fortunately, Reverend Bailey is not a “newbie” as a church leader in a time of crisis; she has been the associate minister at the church since 2014, and before that at the Congregational Church in Granby.
One component of the Vo-Ag program at Suffield High School is strong encouragement for projects that will benefit the community. Some of these are environmental, some are more relationship oriented.
