GLOCESTER – Local residents interviewed by The Valley Breeze & Observer this week say they are against changing the logo of the Ponaganset Chieftans, opposing the idea of changing the name as well.
Last Wednesday, the Foster-Glocester School Committee passed a motion to let each community bring the mascot name and logo to a vote on the November 2022 general election ballot.

Lost but not forgotten
