Good morning, Carole. 

I’ve just enjoyed reading your very informative Stockbridge Updates. This is especially helpful to me, as I don’t reside in Stockbridge, but I certainly am devoted to seeing its continued health and vitality!

Thanks for sharing information about the wonderful programming (and fun MAD Bash!) with your readers.

Best,

Hilary Dunne Ferrone

Carole,

Can you share in the next Stockbridge Updates?

Dear BHRSD Community, 

As detailed in a recent press release, the District has hired architects/designers to help us look at three possibilities for our high school through the Massachusetts School Building Authority process: 1) a renovation, 2) a renovation and addition, and 3) a new school. 

We’re very excited about this opportunity.

This is a call for volunteers.

In the coming weeks and months, we are forming several working groups to make recommendations to our Building Committee and participants for a visioning process. 

The 6 working groups will each have about 10 members. Those groups will likely meet monthly.

The visioning group will have 40 staff and students and 20 parents, partners and community members. The visioning group will meet 3 times each for 2.5 hours. The first two meetings will be on-line and the last one will be in person.

If you are interested, please complete the attached survey. We will look at responses, work to have a balance across our three towns, and reach back out. 

If you have other commitments now and would like to have input in the future, there will be more opportunities. We will need your feedback at several points. 

Thanks for your interest and support of our schools. 

Peter Dillon, Superintendent 
Steve Bannon, School Committee Chair

Carole,

The Agricultural and Forestry Commission (AFC) will be doing another tree seedling giveaway this year. The event will be held on Arbor Day, Friday April 26th from noon – 3pm.

We will have a table set up on the lawn of the Corner House, at the intersection of Main St and Elm St.

Seedlings will include American Hazelnut, Black Walnut, Witch Hazel and more. Distribution is limited to 2 seedlings/person.

This is a joint collaboration between the Austen Riggs Center Green Team, the Stockbridge AFC and students working in the greenhouse at Monument Mountain High School.

I would appreciate it if you could post this information in the April edition of SU.

And….. I have taken out nomination papers to run for the position of Tree Warden. I’ll submit the papers this week, and will send you answers to the questions you have posted for nominees to respond to. 

Thanks for all you do,

Lisa Bozzuto

Hi Lisa,

Don’t forget to send your answers to the questions in SU Get to Know the Candidates.

Thank you to you and all those willing to run for office and help run our town.

Best Carole

Dear Readers,

I just a heard a rumor, twice, that I am dropping out of the moderator race. Just to put that to bed and tuck it in nice and tight, I am running for moderator. And that’s no rumor.
