Good Weather Brought Successful Farming Season

What a fabulous year this has been for Suffield farmers. The weather was about as perfect as it gets, except for the soggy spring. We got plenty of warm sunny days, and rain came when it was needed. Irrigation of crops was very limited all summer. The weather has continued to cooperate this fall with warm dry days that make for good tobacco curing in the sheds.

CAPSS Award Winners

It is with great pleasure that I announce the recipients of the 2019-2020 Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents (CAPSS) Student Award recipients for the Suffield Public Schools. This year’s honorees are Kati Davis (Grade 12) and Anna Washburn (Grade 8). Adding to her collection of awards and recognitions, Kati Davis was nominated by the faculty and staff of Suffield High School to receive this year’s recognition. Kati currently serves on Class Council, as treasurer for the class of 2020, and courageously completed back-to-back shifts in the dunk tank during Suffield on the Green. In addition to her efforts in organizing the Dustin Doyon Road Race, she participated in several community cleanups, Readers for Leaders, the Chick-Fil-A Leadership Academy, and was a recipient of the Rochester Young Leaders Award.
