Third Grade Teacher Jennifer Sutton along with Harris Center Naturalist Expert and Teacher, Susie Spikol have hosted a morning walking club for students at Pierce School! In a community partnership with our friends from the Harris Center, students, staff and families are welcome to join us for a brief walk in the woods to start our day in a calming way – outdoors! ‘Tis the season to smell earthy scents such as mushrooms, enjoy the sounds of a waterfall and hear the wind gently blowing falling leaves through the air – what a wonderful way to start the day! The walks have been very successful and we are even collecting data to show evidence that starting in nature helps our body and mind prepare for the learning day ahead – look for more information soon! We look forward to a few more walks before the snow flies. Come join us, the last two are on 10/25 and 11/1.

Pierce's black bears had a great time with Cornucopia this week working in the gardens. They harvested a large amount of carrots and purple beans. They even got to enjoy some summer squash and cherry tomatoes. More importantly, they were eager and willing to jump back into the gardens after having a long summer break, sharing their observations as they went.
Next week they will be exploring the different kinds of garden bugs. We can't wait to see what kinds of bugs live in our garden beds!

In the spring of 2016, NH Department of Environmental Services issued recommendations for voluntary testing of lead in drinking water at all schools and daycares. This action was in large part a result of lead toxicity to children from the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
On February 8, 2018, Governor Sununu signed Senate Bill 247 Prevention of Childhood Lead Poisoning. This law requires, among other actions, that all schools and licensed childcare facilities test lead in drinking water at all locations where water could possibly be ingested by children.
The ConVal School District contracted with a State of New Hampshire approved water testing vendor to perform the testing in all of our schools. A total of 590 fixtures were tested according to DES protocols. Any location that was found to be outside of the acceptable levels has been labeled and clear signage has been affixed to indicate that this is not to be used for drinking water. It is important to note that the areas that have signs are not areas where students would typically drink water.
The first round of testing was required to be completed by July 1, 2019, and to be done every 5 years thereafter.
Listed below are the results of the sampling at your school that was completed in 2019.
Bennington Elementary (Pierce) School
In accordance with SB 247, the ConVal School District will perform the second round of water testing in 2024.
If you have any questions at all regarding testing, please feel free to contact me.
