Girl Scouts Earn Bronze Awards
|
On June 1, 5th grade Girl Scout Troop 10975 built and installed benches at the Pollinator Garden at Stony Brooke Park. The troop consists of 12 girls who earned their Bronze Award through this project. In order to achieve this award, the girls needed to invest 20 hours towards their designated project. To decide which project we would complete, we narrowed our ideas from ten down to three. From the top three, we took a vote, and building benches received the most support.
Letter to the Editor
Pay to Play
|
Dear Editors,
The Board of Education has just imposed pay to play and parking fees on high school students in Suffield. To quote the Yankee Institute’s recent review of the State Legislature’s budget diversion of public transportation funds to create a crisis requiring tolls: “Creating a crisis to justify the imposition of unpopular and unnecessary measures is an offensive way to conduct public policy.”
I hope the citizens of Suffield will see through this maneuver of Chairman Davis and the rest of the Board for what it is, offensive to say the least.

SWC Luncheon and New Officers
|
The Suffield Woman’s Club (SWC) held their Annual Luncheon and Installation of Officers Meeting on May 14, at Suffield by the River. The meeting served to recognize two club members, install the newest club officers, and allow this year’s members to reconvene one last time before dismissing for the summer. This year, the Suffield Woman’s Club recognized Vicki Markowski and Norann Coggins for forty years of service. Vicki and Norann were each awarded a 24-karat gold-plated pineapple ornament (the Club’s symbol) and a Certificate of Appreciation for their dedication to serving the Suffield community since 1979. The installation of officers to serve for the 2019—2020 club year were for the positions of treasurer, secretary, vice president, and president.
