It is with pleasure that the Suffield Garden Club collaborates with fourth grade classes at McAlister School in presenting an Arbor Day Program. For 56 years, fourth graders have participated actively in the program, reciting poems, stories and songs about Arbor Day.
Since 1940, the Suffield Garden Club (SGC) has been planting dogwood trees along Main Street; there are currently 109 trees. For years the SGC was fortunate to have the town help spread the mulch, but due to budget cuts the SGC has had to include that in their responsibility of caring for the dogwood trees.
As we conclude what has been a very uncertain and difficult school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are many signs that the Suffield Public Schools, our families, and our students are returning to the normal ways of yesteryear.
Congratulations to Julianna Marie Service who has been named the Class of 2021 Valedictorian and Abby Grace Halasi-Kun who has been named the Class of 2021 Salutatorian.
The Suffield Board of Education has selected Mrs. Jana Volpe to be the new Elementary Special Education Supervisor of the Suffield Public Schools.
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.
It’s been the custom for a number of years for The Suffield Observer to print individual photos of star athletes at Suffield High School with their parents (and sometimes coaches) when the happy winners are signing to accept their scholarships and promising to play in the sports where they have excelled.

We aren’t going to be “Saved By The Bell” on this one. 20 years has really passed and it is time to celebrate our “Wonder Years.”
