Turcotte Field Work October 19th
A company called Forest Savers from Vermont will be cleaning up the edges of the Turcotte Field on Wednesday Oct. 19th. They will be grinding the small stumps left over from the forest harvest that we had done last winter. They will also be cutting and grinding the brush and the invasive plants around the field. There is also a small patch of woods in the field that they will remove.
The Conservation Commission is trying to preserve the field to the way it was in the past when the Stockdale family was farming in the town of Rollinsford.
Any one walking or riding out there on this day should be very careful because the machinery will be very noisy and the operators may not have very good visibility.
Activities bus from Marshwood High and Middle Schools will resume Oct. 24
To parents of Rollinsford Marshwood Middle and High School students,
The school board voted this week to reinstate the activities bus, also known as the “late bus,” which picks up students from Marshwood Middle and High Schools at roughly 4:05 and brings them to their homes. The bus will resume on Oct. 24 and is guaranteed to run through Feb. 2, 2017.
During this time the school board will collect ridership numbers, gather information about alternative funding possibilities, and request quotes for future costs from First Student. At the January 2017 school board meeting, the board will review the information gathered and conduct another vote to determine whether to continue the bus.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please email the school board or come to our next meeting.
Sincerely, The Rollinsford School Board
