Back to school time - way back in time!
PUTNAM — As school kids of all ages have been preparing for and returning to the ringing of the school bells, the Aspinock Historical Society of Putnam has a grade A program on tap.
The community is welcome to the free event, The History of Putnam’s Many Schools, slated 7 p.m. Sept. 11 at the Board of Education Pempek Conference Room, in Putnam High School (best entry and parking from Milton Street). The History of Putnam’s Many Schools will explore the evolution of education in Putnam and will celebrate Putnam Schools - from Cady-Copp Cottage, Israel Putnam School, Smith Street School and more.
The “instructors” for the program will be two of Aspinock Historical Society’s board members and retired teachers themselves, Louise Pempek and Jeanne Benoit. There is plenty of room, so bring a friend, bring your school memories and see how things have changed in Putnam’s schools.
