A huge thank you to the PTO, families, and School Committee for the appreciation they showered on our staff over the past two weeks! Our hearts (and our bellies) are full!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

You all help to make this community special!

We invite the ATD community to an exhibition of our current 4th grade students' art and poetry created last spring! The exhibition HOPE FLOWS will be on display in May and June in the North Gallery of Cooley Dickinson Hospital, 30 Locust Street (Route 9), Northampton, MA. Public hours are 10-5 daily and admission is free.

HOPE FLOWS is a community outreach project showcasing student artwork and poetry inspired by local history. Last spring, students in Ms. Wyman’s class explored artifacts pulled from the Mill River Flood of 1874. Using a magnifying glass, they looked closely at the etched gold medal awarded to Collins Graves, a local milkman and hero who saved lives. The artwork and poetry they created will be on display in the North Gallery as part of the hospital’s Art and Healing program. Each child's artwork has been reproduced, enlarged and professionally mounted onto oversized foam core panels. Each reproduction will be accompanied by a five line “Cinquain Poem” and the student’s first name.

This work would not be possible without the people who brought local history into the classroom: Eric Weber, President, Williamsburg Historical Society; Daria D’Arienzo, Archivist; Carol Berner, Smith College Department of Education and Child Study; and Mel Redwin, Professional Teaching Artist. Special thanks to Gaby Immerman, Mill River Greenway, and the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Grant that helped make this Community Outreach project F-L-O-W.
