SFES Family Fun Day

By |

The Suffield Foundation for Excellent Schools will hold its first annual “Family Fun Day” on Saturday, August 25, 2018 at Copper Hill Golf Club located at 20 Copper Hill Drive, East Granby. Spend one of the last few days before school starts enjoying activities geared to all ages. For the serious golfers, there will be nine holes of classic golf; for those age eight and above without clubs but having two feet, there will be the challenge of nine holes of foot golf, a fun sport that combines golf and soccer and involves kicking a soccer ball into a 21” cup on the golf course. In addition, there will be a barbecue buffet, bounce houses, face painting, a dunk tank, a tea cup raffle, and crafts centering around the theme of our March 2019 gala “Fire and Ice” to make and take home. For those unfamiliar with the SFES, there will be an exhibit showing some of the grants and programs that the educational foundation has funded.

Seniors Walk Spaulding Halls

By |

There was a lot of excitement at Spaulding School on Friday morning, June 15. The students, K-2, had made congratulatory signs for the seniors who came to participate in the second annual Senior Walk through the halls of Spaulding School where most of the seniors had started their education. The seniors walked from the high school across Bruce Park and were greeted first by inspirational signs placed strategically along their path. As they entered Spaulding School, the seniors were welcomed by enthusiastic children as they walked down the hallways. Spaulding students and teachers stood, waving handmade signs, while Pomp and Circumstance played on the PA system.

Museum Pass Contest

By |

During the months of July and August, the Friends of the Kent Memorial Library are sponsoring a contest at the library. Each time a museum pass is checked out, the patron’s name is entered to win a $25 gift certificate from Barnes and Noble. One gift certificate will be awarded each month. Each month the contest starts anew. Another exciting development at the library is the purchase of a new software by the Kent Memorial Library which will enable Suffield patrons to reserve all of the museum passes and print most of them from home.
