Historical Tidbit:
The Center School
"The original Center School on South Main Street was destroyed by fire in the winter of 1918.
At a town meeting in the spring of 1919, the voters decided with a 22-3 vote to erect a new school at a cost of $16,000.
Students entered the building in the fall of 1920, and the impressive brick building became a source of pride to Raynham citizens.
The Center School, built in 1920, was called The William J. Sullivan School." The Sullivan School closed in 2004.

At this time of year, many families are preparing for another thanksgiving. Often, families are excited to reunite with their family members and enjoy the festivities of the holiday spirit. However for some families, the holidays can be overshadowed by many factors.
Siypnow understands and encourages the importance of family and community; therefore, we want to help communities and families minimizing certain obstacles, and ensuring that every family has a joyful and wonderful positive holiday experience. Our goal to help families in our community, as well as encourage and give support to people who are sincere in their desire to work hard, and to succeed; however, this goal can only be achieved through generous donations from the help of kind sponsors.
Companies who help us meet our goal to provide these families with a wonderful holiday experience will have their logo appear on our flyers as well as our website. If you are interested in sponsoring the SIYPNOW team, please contact us,

“Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.” ~ Helen Keller
“Nothing is better for self-esteem than survival.” ~ Martha Gellhorn, Travels With Myself and Another
