Suffield High School juniors, dressed beautifully for someplace like Chez Josef, enjoy a game of Cornhole Toss next to the big, four-pole tent set up for this year’s prom in the high school track infield. Pictured at sunset on May 22 amid lessening pandemic restrictions, the mask-less event, with no one present except members of the class and the school staff (plus three food trucks and the main caterer), was reported to have been enjoyed by all.
Kate McCluskey, Family Consumer Sciences Teacher and Career Internship Coordinator, invited Carol Martin, Ruth Clark and Ann Kannen to talk with her students at a Human Development Through Lifespan class. This class is an Early College Experience class where students earn college credit from UConn while in high school.
As Suffield Academy students pack up to depart at the end of the school year, a crew from UPS stands ready to offer boxes as well as shipping and storage. They’ll even help carry the packed boxes down from dorm rooms to the waiting trucks.
Troop 66 has been active over the past few months. We went canoeing on the Farmington River and camping at Camp Workcoeman.
