Colonial Craft Day at Elmwood

Elmwood School went back in time over 200 years ago to the Colonial era. As part of a yearly event called Colonial Crafts Day, third grade students have an opportunity to gain an understanding of what life was like for children their age back then, not through a textbook, but by doing activities that children did during that time period.

Many of the students, along with teachers and parent volunteers, were dressed in their Colonial best for the day as they went through a series of different activities commonly done in Colonial times including making corn husk dolls, stenciling designs on paper, rug braiding, tin punching, as well as playing games.

Dear Editor:

I have been watching the School Committee race closely and was compelled to put pen to paper on a few issues for taxpayers to consider before they vote.

There have been whispers suggesting Ellen is too ‘busy’ to serve our town. Nonsense! We all know when something needs to be done, ask a busy person! Successful ‘busy’ people know how to prioritize, delegate and execute as appropriate. They know how to GET IT DONE.
