Dear Pierce families,
We hope you have weathered this storm. We are ready to welcome students back to school tomorrow, March 17, 2023. We will have a two hour delay and will follow our usual schedule for a delay, with arrival between 10:20-10:40 AM.
Due to the continuing hazardous road conditions in many towns, there will be some significant changes to bus routes. In many cases, buses can only travel on main roads; therefore, families will need to transport their children to the identified bus pick-up/drop-off locations, which can be found below as well as on the Conval district website and social media sites. Any student who cannot be transported to school by families or to the designated bus pick-up/drop-off locations will be considered absent excused.
Bennington/Pierce Bus Stops
Please contact the bus company by phone at (603) 924-9211 for any questions regarding the routes, if you have other questions or concerns please reach out to me.
Warmest regards,
Beth Gibney
Principal

In the fall, NHPBS came and filmed the 3rd grade class at Pierce and the work we are doing with the turtle hatchling program.  The turtle “head starting” program is in collaboration with the Harris Center for Conservation Education and NH Fish Game. We are following Zoo New England’s protocols for caring for the turtles and all turtles that were harvested will be raised in our classroom and released in May. This is in collaboration with the Harris Center for Conservation Education as well as NH Fish and Game. In the past week, Susie Spikol, our Harris Center naturalist, has been approached by the NH Public Broadcasting’s TV show Windows to the Wild https://nhpbs.org/windows/.
We have heard back from the producer and below is the link and time you can see the episode online. The hatchling project has been so enriching for our class and school as a community. Our class is very fortunate to have so many people come together to bring these turtles to our classroom. It is a truly integrated learning experience that ranges from social emotional learning to math, reading, writing and science.
The story will air - Wednesday, March 16, 2022 7:30 pm on NHPBS. It’ll be online at NHPBS.ORG/WINDOWS at that time.

Some of my teachers have had two legs while others have had four or even eight. But all have taught me something important about how to be a good creature in the world.” This is how local author Sy Montgomery starts her book How to Be A Good Creature, a children’s book that can teach us all many lessons including how to be patient, respectful and to show courage. We used this book as a guide during kindness week before vacation.
All students listened to the story and thought about an animal that they have connected with or reflected on how they are good creatures in the world. Every child created a watercolor page about their reflection. These pages were turned into a beautiful book with the help of Jeannie Connolly of the Arts Integration program. The book was then hand-delivered to Sy Montgomery and her dog Thurber in Hancock. She was so touched that she took time to answer questions from students through Zoom this week. This integrated project was a wonderful way for students to think about who their teachers might be and what they might be able to teach others. Kindness and Courage are certainly a few examples that all Pierce School students can share.
