As part of a lesson on early American history last week, 5th grade students learned about types of punishments that would have been handed out for various offenses back in colonial times. Mrs. Wojtyna passed along these pictures of her class having fun with the various forms of punishments students may have endured in a colonial classroom.
Please be advised, the phone number for the school’s tuition manager, Denise Mayo, was incorrect on the 2014-2015 Family Registration paperwork for returning families. The correct number is (860) 643-2195. We apologize for any confusion this has caused.
And, many, many more items for all ages! There will also be a raffle again this year so please remember to bring cash as well as your checkbook!
