The SHS Drama Club presents Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream November 1, 2, and 3 in the auditorium at 7 p.m.
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.
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.
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.
Many of us have been watching the restoration/rebuilding of Memorial Hall on the campus of Suffield Academy. Who could fail to be fascinated by what appeared to be an old façade propped up by next to nothing?
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.
A week before back-to-school day at Suffield Academy, workers carefully lower a thick safety-glass disk into place over the old well rediscovered in front of Memorial Building.
A payloader removes material from the temporary parking lot created for workers on construction projects at Suffield Academy. Will we see grass again?
The summer after my sophomore year at Suffield High, I was offered a spot along with two fellow Interact peers at a state-wide conference at Springfield College to demonstrate our leadership abilities and learn how to work better in groups.
