It is hard to believe that we have passed our 100th day of the school year. I am tremendously appreciative of the hard work of our Board of Education, administration, faculty and staff for their efforts in meeting the diverse needs of our students and the many goals we have established for this year.
It is with sadness but concern for the well-being of the local community that the West Suffield Congregational Church has decided not to host a breakfast after the Suffield Easter Sunday Sunrise Service this Easter April 12.
Richard Binns planted these pollinator-friendly plants on a steep bank behind Second Baptist Church last spring.
Playing on historic Doubleday Field should be on every baseball players bucket list.

Recently the Suffield High School Agriscience Department welcomed some baby piglets! The production animal science classes had the opportunity to monitor and care for two sows (female pigs) that were due to have piglets. The pigs are owned by Brittani Burke, who is a senior in the agriscience program and raises cows, sheep and pigs at her farm. The piglets were born and the students have been able to assist with their postnatal care and have learned more about the swine industry through this hands-on experience.
The Suffield Historical Society will meet on Tuesday, April 14, 2020 at 7PM in the auditorium of the Kent Memorial Library. Bill Sullivan’s American Studies students from Suffield Academy will present their discoveries about public history, which they conducted this winter to support the town’s 350th anniversary.
For years, Suffield has worked at trying to build a community center in Suffield. As early as 1995, the town studied how this might be done. In 2002, the town created the Community Center Steering Committee, chaired at that time by Tim Reynolds, to plan and implement the construction of a new indoor recreational facility. Over time, committees were created, studies were made and proposals were presented to the town both in 2003 and then again in 2014, but nothing ever stuck until 2015, when the town finally voted to convert Bridge Street School to a community center. The expectation, of course, was that this project would see fruition.
