Here is a great article in the Reformer about our new pollinator garden. We are so thankful to Vermont Master Gardeners Kate Fellows, Carly Studer and Pat McClain for their time and amazing work in the garden and with our students. We are excited to watch the plants grow and fill in our beautiful new space.

Townshend students planted 90 native perennials, creating a pollinator garden that will grow alongside them.

On Friday, October 9th members from the Townshend Volunteer Fire Department joined us for our All School Assembly. Chief Brian Schmidt, Firefighter Delano Schmidt (a TES alumni), Firefighter Jaycob Desautels, and Lieutenant Tim Bell all gave of their time to provide a fun learning experience for our students.The firefighters gave a brief fire safety demonstration for our students and staff. Firefighter Delano Schmidt did an excellent job speaking to the entire school about the equipment the firefighters wear and have with them during an emergency situation. After the all school presentation students went out to view and learn more about Townshend's brand new fire truck - 33E2. The fire fighters explained about different areas of the truck and what equipment was used for. The students loved being able to walk through the fire truck. We are so thankful for our volunteer fire department members and all of their time and dedication to our town.
