There is a three-way race for the empty Jaffrey School Board seat this March.
Bonnie Mitchell, Eva Torontali and Christine Pressman have all filed to vie for the seat left vacant by outgoing board member Laurel McKenzie.
Mitchell said while this is her first attempt at a School Board run, her other municipal and state governing experience would be an asset she’d bring to the table. Mitchell is a former member of the Jaffrey Select Board, Supervisor of the checklist, and a three-term member of the state House of Representatives.
“It’s an interesting time in our town’s history,” Mitchell said. “Since there’s been so much upheaval, I think it’s a good time to review everything.”

When Mirka Zapletal was growing up, she knew of a few female scientists – Marie Curie and Jane Goodall to be exact. All the rest, she thought, were men.
“I just thought scientists were other people than me,” Zapletal, director of education at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center, told the latest batch of Lab Girls participants Thursday night over the first-ever Zoom meeting of the program.
But then after embarking on her career as an educator, she realized she could be.
“I wasn’t a scientist until someone gave me the chance to realize I was,” Zapletal said.
