CARMINE GUICA YOUNG HISTORIANS: The students at Cavendish Town Elementary School (CTES) have been making sunflower seed packets to help raise funds for the Ukrainian Relief effort.
St. Patrick’s Day was in person and students in grades 3-6 had a chance to taste real Irish Soda bread plus learn a lot about the Irish and how they came to America.
We’re now preparing for end of year activities, including various Preserve and Serve projects in the parks, neighborhood and town cemeteries. Thanks to a grant from the Cavendish Community Fund (CCF), we’re well equipped with new rakes, gloves that actually fit, and other essential spring cleaning gear.
Activities being planned for the coming months include:
• May 16 (Monday): Cemetery cleaning and laying flags on Veterans’ graves (6th grade)
• June 3 (Friday): Cleaning gravestones (6th grade)
• June 10 (Friday): St. Gaudens’ and Precision Valley Museum (4-6th grades)
• July 30 (Saturday): Annual Town Wide Tag Sale from 9-2. If a class wants to do a fundraiser, this is a good day to do it. Email or call numbers above for more information.
• Shaker Village Enfield, NH 3rd grade. Date to be determined
