Principals from the four district schools started the meeting by handing out dozens of awards to students who earned them for their excellence in various fields throughout the school year.

“Our sixtth grade students learned about picking good life choices and using the D.A.R.E. decision model through the instructions provided by the town’s police department. We thank the town police department for their continued support of this very important educational program,” said McCue of the program in which all four schools participated throughout the school year.
The staff health benefits program remained the same as the previous year and will be reviewed at a future date to see if adjustments need to be made, according to McCue.
