Summary
At its meeting, the Bolton Board of Education highlighted a Veterans Day assembly and multiple student athletic and academic honors, and publicly recognized three departing board members for their service.
The Bolton Board of Education devoted part of its meeting to celebrating student achievement and the schools’ Veterans Day program, and to recognizing three board members who are leaving the panel.
Superintendent (speaker 1) opened the program by saying, “We are here in the business of, working with kids,” and introduced student presentations from Bolton Center School and Bolton High School, including a Veterans Day assembly and athletics awards.
Teachers and students described the assembly’s ‘missing man’ table and read work created for veterans. Mrs. Pelletier (speaker 3) explained the table’s symbolism and students read letters and poems; seventh-grader (speaker 4) told veterans, “Dear veterans, I want to thank you for your service,” and Sam Toomey (speaker 6) recited a poem about the meaning of service.
The board also praised fall athletic accomplishments: the boys cross-country team captured the NEMSAAC conference championship; Dominic Lombardo and Dalia Livingston earned league and state honors; Superintendent thanked coaches including Paul Smith, noting Smith is retiring after many years of service.
Board Chair (speaker 2) introduced tributes to three outgoing board members — Bridal Klein (four years, finance committee), Chris Duffy and Chris Davey (more than a decade) — and members exchanged remarks and a small gift.
The board paused briefly after the presentations and then moved on to regular business, including fiscal and personnel items.
