Awake with each new dawn. Get a new perspective. Today is a new day. Your fresh start begins now.
With each new sunrise, we are washed in the light. Wherever and whoever we are, each new day is our chance to get it right.

From the Report of the Raynham School Committee, April 1, 1858:
There were 8 school districts educating a total of 321 students. Each district operated one classroom educating children between the ages of 5 to 15.
The school year was divided between a summer term and a winter term. Either term could last between 2 and 3 1/2 months, depending on the weather.
During the winter term in district 1, it was noted that "average attendance was seriously decreased by sickness..." which was attributed, in part, to the condition of the schoolhouse.
