SHS Trivia Night

Each school year the Suffield High School Chick-fil-A Leader Academy is challenged with completing an “Impact Project” to benefit the community and to practice their leadership skills. This year the group, made up of 30 sophomores and juniors, decided to put on a Trivia Night to benefit the Dustin L. Doyon Memorial and the Brianna Mailloux Scholarship funds. It was an incredibly successful night. The Trivia Night was held Friday, May 17 at 6 p.m. on the Suffield High School grounds. Twenty-one teams of six to eight people each consisted of mostly high school students, their parents, and three teacher teams – one from Suffield High School, one from Suffield Middle School and one from McAlister Intermediate School.

Suffield Film and Video Festival

By |

On Tuesday, June 11, the 19th annual Suffield Film and Video Festival was held in the high school auditorium. This year featured an exceptionally wide range of movies, including comedies, dramas, news features, animation, public service announcements (PSA), portraits, and more. A distinct feature of this year’s festival was the abundant works by two of our graduating seniors, Olivia Dalfino and Emily Fabrizi, who are pursuing film production and animation in college. Among Olivia’s works were the award-winning non-dialogue short Unmasked, the comedic Finding Love, and the striking artistic statement Self Portrait. Emily produced many diverse projects, including the comedies Cyber Pig and Equus Guido, along with her exceptional animated shorts Caesar Doo Where are You?, Baby It’s Cold Outside, and the genuinely accomplished and moving piece Cumo.
