Suffield Educators Honored

One of the happy items on the agenda for the September 4 meeting of the Suffield Board of Education was the announcement of this year’s Teacher of the Year and Paraeducator of the Year, chosen from nominations submitted from all four of our schools.

Interim Superintendent Briefing

Through The Suffield Observer, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to the Suffield community. My name is Mark Winzler, and I began service as the Interim Superintendent of the Suffield Schools on Thursday, August 23. I am a retired Connecticut Superintendent of Schools who, since retirement, has served ten times as Interim Superintendent in Connecticut school districts. I served in Granby, Berlin, Watertown, Rocky Hill, East Hampton, Columbia, Plymouth, Hebron, East Hampton (a second time), and Torrington prior to coming to Suffield. Since retirement, I also served two other districts (Windsor and Manchester) as the Interim Director of Human Resources.

Author Carol Taylor Celebrated

Family, friends and many retired Spaulding School teachers gathered in the Spaulding library on September 12 to celebrate and hear about a book written by Carol Taylor, also a former teacher at the school.

Correction

In the September issue, on Page 4, the caption for a photo of Suffield Academy’s newly renovated Memorial Building mistakenly noted that the top floor contained some dorm rooms.
