The Department of Education has required school districts put into place a plan for the 2021-22 school year by June 23, and local districts are starting to make decisions about what the fall will look like.
Earlier this year, Gov. Chris Sununu announced all K-12 schools must offer a full-time, in-person learning as of April 19, and all local schools have been operating full-time since then, if they weren’t already, but still offered a fully-remote option.
Local school districts appear ready to carry on the five-day in-person schedule in the fall, according to current reopening plan discussions.
On Monday, the Jaffrey-Rindge Cooperative School Board made two adjustments to its current framework, effective immediately, and discussed a community survey asking parents their preferences for the fall.

There’s a new garden outside the Greenfield Covenant Church that wasn’t there two weeks ago.
It took a little over a week for James Powell, a sophomore at ConVal High School and aspiring Eagle Scout, to prepare the land in back of the ministry center, construct the nine raised garden boxes that total 100 square feet of planting space inside a 150-square-foot footprint.
The project was twofold for the Greenfield resident who first joined Scouts in second grade: he needed a project worthy of Eagle Scout consideration, while at the same time Powell wanted it to be something that would benefit his community. The idea for the garden – which faces south and gets plenty of sun – is that vegetables grown in it during the summer months will go to the Greenfield Covenant Church Food Pantry, located just a few hundred feet from the garden area.

The Greenfield Historical Society is fundraising to write a book focusing on the town’s most famous and infamous residents throughout history, with the working title “Shocking but True: Revealing Stories of Greenfield’s Unknown History”.
“We’ve got all these stories about all these characters in town, some are quite funny, and others are quite mysterious, or quite scandalous,” organizer Amy Lowell said. “But nobody knows about them except for us.”
A new history book highlighting some of Greenfield’s more intriguing characters seemed like a good solution for a number of issues facing the historical society, Lowell said. The town’s last history was published in 1977, she said, and it’s a bit of a dry read. “If you grew up in Greenfield, you might find some of it interesting,” she said, but there was certainly room for more exciting ways to present the bizarre, scandalous, suspenseful, and myster
