Historical Tidbit:
In Appreciation of Lillie B. Merrill
"In 1966, an appreciation dinner was held for Lillie B. Merrill, who was referred to in the program as "Raynham's gracious lady." She and her husband and their two children had moved to Raynham in 1925. She was elected to the offices of Town Clerk and Town Treasurer in 1928 by 58 ballots. She served these offices until March 1966. Until the town office building was constructed in 1957, she made her home her office. She was also the town accountant and a Justice of the Peace. In her years of office, she recorded 1299 marriages and 2171 births. Everyone in Raynham knew her, and now what used to be the Pleasant Street School bears the name of Lillie B. Merrill."

How to Rake Without the Ache!
Never continue to do one task using the same hand and the same repetitive motion. It can lead to aches and a weakened posture that can cause injury. Switch hands while raking, spending a few minutes on each side of the body so both get worked and neither gets overworked.

LaLiberte families,
We would like to take a minute and thank you for a FANTASTIC night! What an amazing feeling to have 350 people come to Rob Surette's show at our school.
The show during the day was AMAZING with all the kids. The roof was almost blown off the building because of the kids excitement. And than at night again an amazing show from this FABULOUS self-taught speed painter, Rob Surette!
The feedback we have received has been amazing! This is why we LOVE what we do!!
Rob Surette kindly donated a beautiful painting of Lady Liberty to the school and the Doorprize was won by The Stratton Family. The raffle prize was won by Ava Pereira from Mrs McSweeney's 2nd grade class. Congratulations on your paintings.

Connection. It is a necessity:
Unplug.
Be part of a conversation.
Smile.
Listen.
You will feel so-o-o much better.
“We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.” ~ William James
“Invisible threads are the strongest ties.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.” ~ Brené Brown
