Hanford Mills recently visited Townsend Elementary’s second graders and presented a program on “sharing water.” The students learned how different professions use water, as well as learning ways we can all work together to share this precious resource. Students explored how water in their community, region, and the state is a shared resource.
Thank you, Hanford Mills Museum, for this great educational experience!

As a way to give back, an alumni of Townsend Elementary recently donated t-shirts for all students and staff. The school received the shirts this week and showed them off and the kids were excited to receive the shirts. Townsend staff and students appreciate the generosity and it made for a wonderful day!

Townsend Elementary starts “Kids Heart Challenge!”
Townsend Elementary is kicking off a service-learning program called “Kids Heart Challenge.” This is for grades 3-5.
Parents can register their students by visiting: http://www2.heart.org/site/TR?fr_id=9739&pg=company&company_id=462250.
This is a fundraiser for the American Heart Association. Students will raise funds and through fun activities, they’ll discover ways to take care of their hearts and brains while practicing kindness, gratitude and learning ways to de-stress. Students also have the chance to earn PE equipment for the school!
