Mardi Gras!
Fat Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday. Pancake Tuesday. Call it what you will but the folks at Westview Health Care Center in Dayville called Tuesday, Feb. 28 a blast. In the spirit of year’s past, the facility’s Formal Dining Room played center stage for the vibrantly colorful and festive Mardi Gras celebration. Tom Callinan, a multi-faceted performing artist and Connecticut’s first “Official State Troubadour”, performed for the capacity crowd using an assortment of instrumental accompaniment including a banjo, guitar and a drum. Playing such songs as “Little Brown Jug”, “Jambalaya”, “Golden Slippers” and “Blueberry Hill”, Callinan kept the celebration upbeat and high-energy through his hour-long set. Residents and patients enjoyed food and drink including the customary “King Cake.”The two residents whose piece of cake revealed a plastic baby were later crowned as 2017’s king and queen of Westview. “We’re extremely grateful to Mr. Callinan for sharing his musical talents with us,” said David T. Panteleakos, administrator. “We gauge the success of our Recreation Department’s efforts by the excitement in the room and this celebration has definitely set the bar quite high for next year’s Mardi Gras event.” Courtesy photo.

POMFRET — In February, seventh grade students reflected on books that matter as part of a national writing contest sponsored by the Library of Congress. All 49 seventh graders wrote letters to authors (living or dead) telling about books that had made a difference to them and how they were impacted. Out of 133 state level finalists (56 at the Middle School level) four are PCS students. The writing of Ben Mayo, Sofia Murray, Zachary Roethlein, and Zachary White will all progress to the next level of judging. According to the CT State Coordinator of the program, Wendy Glenn, the writing of these four, as well as other seventh grader entries, “demonstrate the impressive strength of insight and writing skill that define this program."
