PTO Sponsors Day for Parent Health and Wellness

Come join the Suffield Parent Teacher Organization Saturday December 1 for a day of fitness classes starting at 8:45 a.m. at Spaulding School.

In a deviation from the typical wrapping paper and chocolate fundraiser, the Suffield Elementary PTO is hoping to trade some "you" time for a small donation.

For $15 parents and kids over the age of 13 can take any or all of the following classes:

  • 30 Minutes of Pilates, Warm Up & Core Strengthening by Lisa Jordan/Superior Fitness
  • 30 Minutes of Zumba with Megan Ballard/First Class Fitness
  • 30 Minutes of Yoga with Mary Callender/Yoga Specialist

"We were just trying to think of new fundraisers to do and raise money," explained PTO Co-President Pam Hardy. "So this is an easy one. Just show up, have fun & exercise...  As parents we do so much running around for our children so I figured we would focus on the parents this time."

Pre-Register and receive a free raffle ticket. Send an email to phardy@sheratonspringfield.com or sign up and pay at the door. Bring water and a mat (optional). Complimentary Mini Facials  are sponsored by Mary Kay. Students must be at least 13 years old to participate.

The Elementary PTO raises money for field trips, enrichment programs and special events.

The problem is resurfacing all the roads in Suffield would cost a great deal of money. Suffield is aRead More big town. I do understand that some roads in Suffield do not have enough adjacent suitable land to create a separate bike lane, but I believe bike lanes could be constructed along sections of some scenic roads. Half a loaf is better than none at all. Salvatore, if you have not already been there, you may want to consider cycling on the island of Nantucket. I have not been there in years, but outside of its main town, Nantucket did offer good riding conditions and peaceful surroundings--at least when I visited.

Thank you for your comment. Actually, I was simply suggesting that roads are resurfaced. There isn'tRead More probably enough room for bike lanes on most of these backroads, but if at least the pavement was brought to an acceptable condition, that would make biking much more pleasant (I should say "possible") and, let's not forget, much safer. Some particularly damaged areas represent a serious danger to bikers' safety.

There may be a solution--a compromise of sorts. Put a narrow, but well-maintained bike lane on largeRead More sections of each scenic road in town, the roads with fewer cars and trucks. Just having the bike lanes may be draw for out-of-town cyclists to visit Suffield and spend money at local businesses. Instead of attempting to change Suffield into a metropolitan area, with all the problems that brings, celebrate (and financially support) its original identity--a scenic, peaceful agricultural town with some nice amenities.
