PHS students, teacher present Story Walk plan for Pine Hill Park; opening set for May 28, 2025
Summary
Proctor High School students and teacher presented a Story Walk installation at Pine Hill Park funded by a grant; first book will be Over and Under the Pond by Kate Messner and the opening is planned for May 28, 2025.
Linda McCuen, an English teacher at Proctor High School, and student Emily Williams told the Selectboard about a service-learning project to build a Story Walk on the Pine Hill Park trail. The project grew from an outdoor English course where students learned trail building and focused on walkability so people of all ages can use the route. The first Story Walk book will be Over and Under the Pond by Kate Messner, and the author is scheduled to visit both the elementary school and the high school; students will also read Breakout by the same author.
A grant provided materials for the installation and the opening was scheduled for May 28, 2025. Selectboard member Linda Doty asked about a south entrance signpost to match the library post; she will contact Stafford to arrange a similar signpost.
