DEDICATION

GRETCHEN NAHKALA 1969-2021

Gretchen was born on a military base in Italy and grew up in Jefferson, MA. She graduated from Wachusett Regional High School in 1986 and went on to earn an Associate’s degree in Dental Hygiene. She met and married Jeff Nahkala and settled in Oakham where her life was centered around her family; husband Jeff, son Jake, and daughter Jane.

Gretchen was also an active member of the Oakham Congregational Church and its choir and served as an EMT, eventually becoming the Ambulance Director for the Oakham Fire Department. Gretchen was instrumental in coming to the aid of many Oakham residents. Many school children will remember her as the "tooth teacher", then dental hygienist. Everyone will remember Gretchen for her numerous acts of kindness, her positive attitude and influence to our community. She will be forever missed.

OAKHAM BOARD OF SELECTMEN ANNUAL REPORT, FISCAL 2020

The latter part of FY 20 proved to make this a most unusual year for the country, the state and our town due to the unexpected invasion of an invisible, unwelcomed virus in February 2020 which led to a universal pandemic of the Coronavirus better known as COVID-19. In all cases the modus operandi in which towns functioned required major changes as the protocols, implemented via federal and state mandates, imposed strict guidelines on open meetings, limited gatherings to no more than ten people and kept residents sheltering-in-place for months. Prior to this news the town was functioning smoothly and many major decisions had been accomplished; then it hit. On March 16, 2020 the BOS held a special meeting to discuss the possible effects and current State of Emergency. The BOH was invited to attend and Aaron Langlois, as its Chairman and as a nurse and EMT, to address the board and to update us on current events. Tom Hughes, our Emergency Management officer, was also present. Our first step as a result of this meeting was to declare a State of Emergency for Oakham and by doing this so quickly, we were in a strong situation to avail ourselves of grants that would be coming from MEMA. Also, in an effort to protect our town office workers, the BOS officially closed the Town Hall to the public in March 2020, requiring all board meetings to be held virtually on ZOOM. The BOS then implemented a list of orders as directed by Governor Baker. We received weekly updates from the Board of Health and Emergency Management personnel. Aaron Langlois was hired as our Public Health Nurse and navigated the way through this emergency. He and the new members of the BOH ensured that all new regulations for the virus were followed and enforced while the Board of Selectmen endeavored to do its best in administering to the town’s municipal services and maintaining the town’s character and values that we hold in high esteem. During these final months of the fiscal year, the selectmen had to focus on the budget and to submit a fiscally acceptable budget to the FINCOM and set a date and warrant for the Annual Town Meeting. All this work had to be done virtually which added to the difficulty of meeting with all department heads in a timely fashion and reviewing all requests. We did not want to put off the town meeting until the summer and fall so that we could remain on a regular monthly payment schedule which was to the town’s benefit. By not deferring the end of year taxes, our finances remained in good stead. It was important in keeping us fiscally up to the challenges presented by the pandemic and costs associated with it. Thanks to the diligence of our departmental personnel, Oakham received funds from the CARES ACT and we applied for and were accepted to receive several grants available. In this way, Oakham remained in good condition to provide all necessary equipment and gear to keep everyone safe. In July 2020 the selectmen welcomed newly elected Don Haapakoski to the Board and voted Brad Taylor as chairman, Lucy Tessnau as Vice-Chairman and Don as clerk. They immediately continued with the planning that needed to be done in the Historical Village and now anticipate its completion in the Spring of 2021. Also, in July 2019, the BOS received the resignation of our Fire Chief, Jeff Nahkala, effective as of September 30, 2019. Chief Nahkala stated that the

7 responsibilities of a part time chief have expanded and newly added responsibilities in his full- time job have increased so that he feels that he can no longer fulfill the duties of Fire Chief. The selectmen expressed their sincere regret and reluctantly accepted his resignation and thanked Jeff for his dedication and service not only to the Fire Department but to the entire town. He informed the select board of billing problems incurred and discussed processes and laws when issuing reports on money owed. A new software has been installed and a new billing company has been hired to help with the debt that needs to be collected. Reports should be forthcoming and hours worked by part time employees will be curtailed to 19.5 hrs. per week so as not to create problems with insurance and benefits. The search for a new Fire Chief began when the BOS voted to create an advisory committee tasked with advertising the position, receiving all applications, setting up and conducting all interviews. The members also visited the fire station for input from firefighters and EMTs. The Bos named Chief Seth Knipe of the Rutland Fire Department to act as interim chief until the new chief was appointed. Members of the Advisory Board were Sean Blood, Aaron Langlois, Marna Mucha, Randy Packard and Lucy Tessnau. This was a long and involved process begun in August 2019 and culminating in March 2020 with the appointment of Timothy Howe of Oakham as our new Fire Chief just as COVID-19 arrived. The BOS would like to extend its appreciation to Chief Knipe for doing an outstanding job as interim Chief and to the Advisory Committee for their dedicated service to this endeavor. The BOS studied the future of the ambulance program in Oakham and after much study and thought it discovered that Rutland had been answering most of the Oakham calls for the past two years since we did not have enough trained personnel to answer day time calls. Our responders could only handle BLS cases and Rutland was always called for ALS cases. Oakham did not have the funds necessary to continue equipping the EMTs and the ambulance every year. We were also informed that we would need a new ambulance in the very near future for the cost of approx. $400,000. Therefore, the BOS voted to first get the Fire Department up to standards and affordable with the new chief and then signed an inter-municipal agreement with Rutland to continue answering all of Oakham calls for the next three years with a possibility of a two-year extension in order to give the town time to explore the possibility of creating a viable and affordable ambulance service. As of this report, these two programs appear to be progressing well. In October 2020 the BOS received the resignation of the Town Accountant, Donna Couture, effective immediately. We were very fortunate that Tom Wilson of Rutland applied for the position and was hired on a trial basis. He was formally hired In December as our Town Accountant and re-appointed to a full term in June 2020. Dr. Sheila Muir, Superintendent of the Quabbin Regional School District, spoke with the BOS regarding the reduction in school student population over the past years and presented a program whereby, to demonstrate an interest in earning funds to help with the school budget, we would rent out vacant classrooms at the Oakham Center School. Lucy Tessnau was appointed to represent the BOS in committee meetings. After lengthy discussions with the BOS and Dr. Muir, the selectmen felt that there was no direct benefit to Oakham or our elementary school to authorize the leasing of these classrooms. They may be needed in the future when enrollment may change or future reorganizations of the Quabbin Schools may be required. (Fortunately, when it was necessary to accommodate the mandates for handling the COVID-19 in

8 schools that reopened, Oakham had the ability ensure safe spacing of students by using these vacant rooms to our benefit.) Other important issues addressed by the BOS during the year included updating policies so that the town will be better protected. These included a payroll policy as required by the auditor, Town Common use policy, Firearms replacement for the officers, the vehicle use policy, a procurement policy, policy for the town beach, police detail policy, and a formal job description for fire chief and fire fighters. Future policies to be studied will include a formal hiring policy, formal evaluations of hired personnel, line of communication between departments and BOS. The selectmen supported the Town Clerk in her quest to obtain electronic voting machines in time for the upcoming town and presidential elections. The article was presented at the annual town meeting and voted favorably. The BOS has also noted a need for new software to better connect the accountant’s office and the treasurer’s office. We will be seeking a grant to cover the cost. In keeping with the mandates of public safety, Chris Dunbar of the Parks and Recreation Department devised a safe plan to continue our time- honored tradition of holding Memorial Day observances. The boy scouts performed the flag ceremony and played taps, Chris made a short and heartfelt presentation on the meaning of Memorial Day and the Selectmen placed the wreath at one of our veterans’ markers in the center of town. Even though we were limited in how many could attend (10), all residents could observe the ceremony as Chris had done a live video of the events. As the pandemic raged on, the town ended the fiscal year on a positive note.

Respectfully submitted,

Bradford Taylor, Chairman Lucy Tessnau, Vice-Chair Don Haapakoski, Clerk

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

Oakham has had an uneventful- first half of the year until the first case of Covid arrived in our state in March of 2020. Governor Baker declared a state of Emergency on March 11, 2020. I worked with MEMA and FEMA to their many guidelines ordering safety supplies and equipment for town departments as they became available. Covid 19 Command Center was created by Governor Baker that provided daily and weekly updates and guidelines that the town continues to follow today. National Grid has completed additional tree trimming to help with power reliability to our area. I applied and received EMPG grant which was used to replace obsolete computers. We worked with CMPR to update Oakham's Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and Hazzard Mitigation Plan reviewing and updating where required. The (NIMS) National Incident Management System is updated annually to FEMA as required to qualify Oakham for state and federal funding. I attended regional MEMA on line meetings and training sessions this year and will work to improve the support systems we have in place. I also appreciate the continued support from: Selectman: Brad Taylor, Lucy Tessnau, Don Haapakoski Police Chief: Fred Gehring Fire Chief: Tim Howe Highway Superintendent: Kevin Currier Administrative Assistant: Ashley Sturges

OAKHAM FIRE - AMBULANCE

Emergency and Service Calls The Oakham Fire Department consists of 13 on-call firefighters and emergency medical technicians. Department personnel responded to a total of 203 incidents (calls for service) in calendar year 2020. The department responded to a variety of incidents including but not limited to, alarm investigations, brush fires, medical emergencies, motor vehicle accidents, structure fires and public service calls. Additional personnel hours were spent conducting training and providing work details that support emergency response and storm related standbys, as well as providing, firework and special events detail coverage. This year the department had several extreme weather events that ended up with large amounts of damage and wide spread power outages that required a long-term response from members.

Permits and Inspections The Fire Department was busier than normal with permits in 2020 and performed numerous site inspections. Inspection types include smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, oil burners, oil tanks, LP gas tanks, tank removals, and fire suppression systems. Many of them require a minimum of one site visit to confirm that the work has been done properly, and installed per fire and life safety codes, and that the equipment operates safely. This year was a challenge due to Covid 19. For the first few months of the pandemic no inspections were performed leading to a back log due to increase home sales. Combined with the large number of home upgrades and remodels inspections took more time than in past year. We also continued to see an increase in open burning, however this year the number of out of control permit fires were less due to favorable burning conditions. In addition to daily permit inspections, The Chief worked with the building inspector on annual inspections that are required to be conducted at commercial and industrial sites as well as annual liquor license inspections. Any questions regarding permits, fees or for scheduling an inspection call the fire department business line or access the information on-line on our website. Fire Prevention and Public Safety Education Oakham has always had a strong bond between the schools and the fire department. In past years the department conducted the S.A.F.E. (Student Awareness of Fire Education) program in the class rooms that ensures all students receive age appropriate life safety and fire prevention education. In past years all education has been in person. With Covid 19 we have not been able to get in the classrooms in person but 27 the hope is to get in as soon as Covid numbers and protocols allow. Last year the department received funding from the SAFE grant to allow these programs to be run. With Covid 19 keeping more people at home we continue to focus on keeping the citizens safe at home by pushing all to have home fire drills and practice home escape plans. The fire department wants to remind all residents fires can happen anywhere anytime and a fire drill is just as critical at home as it is in school. Last year’s S.A.F.E. grant also allowed the department to purchase Combination Smoke/CO for seniors in need. If any senior needs a Smoke Alarm or a key lock box please reach out to the Fire Department and we will be happy to assist. COVID 19 and the Fire Department This year the department has faced challenges like never before. When the Covid-19 pandemic started little was known about the virus. Even with the fear of the unknown members continued to respond to calls for service knowing that at any time they could be exposed to this virus. As we learned more about the virus the need for proper PPE was discovered. At the beginning members made due with make shift masks and limited protection. In person training was stopped, inspections halted and department business was limited to emergency response only. The town was fortunate to receive proper PPE from the Commonwealth due to the hard work and tireless efforts of our EM Director Tom Hughes, his efforts brought masks, gloves, gowns and much needed cleaning supplies and hand sanitizer that kept all town departments able to function. As the summer progressed the department was able to get back into a routine of inspections and training due to a better understanding of the virus and having the proper PPE being used in conjunction with CDC guidelines.

Grants 2020 was a very fortunate year for the fire department and grants. As mentioned above the town received almost $6000.00 for Student and Senior Fire Prevention. In addition to the SAFE grant the department was awarded $38,000 in money for Covid Response from the Commonwealth. This large grant purchased uniforms for firefighters, and a washer/dryer that allows for members who were possibly exposed to Covid to not bring contaminated clothing home after returning from a response. Also in the grant were traffic cones, barricades and a large electronic sign board for vaccination clinics. We are happy to report he have already held a vaccination clinic and all those items were used for the drive thru clinic and will be continued to be used as we offer more clinics. The last part of that grant allowed us to purchase additional PPE for the police department to again keep those members from becoming contaminated while responding and investigating incidents. Our federal partners also came thru with a $65,000 grant for a new SCBA bottle fill station. This compressor unit allows the department to fill the new air bottles that are now required for structural firefighting. Until now after a fire or training Oakham members had to go to a surrounding town to fill empty SCBA bottles. Having to do this limited the training we were able to do on any given drill night. In 2020 the fire department received over $100,000 in grant money to keep the fire department running. Going forward we will continue to look for any possible grant opportunities to keep a high level of service to our taxpayers.

Closing Narrative In my first year as Chief I am still amazed at the dedication and commitment of all the members of the Oakham Fire Department. These firefighters provide 24/7 coverage to a town they all are proud to be part of. Just as important as the firefighters is the support we receive that make this mission possible. Member’s families tolerate when they run out the door during a holiday dinner or at 2am. The residents and taxpayers have continued to support our department and budget giving the tools it takes to keep all who call Oakham home safe. All of us at Oakham Fire would like to thank the residents of Oakham for their incredible support of the fire department and its mission. Call fire department staffing has been a nationwide issue in call fire departments, we are fortunate to have gained a 2 new members last year, however we are actively

28 recruiting and if anyone has an interested in becoming part of the Oakham Fire Department please stop by call the office. Respectfully Submitted, Timothy Howe Fire Chief

POLICE DEPARTMENT

Fy 2020 was a tough year for first responders, I.E. Police, Fire and EMS. COVID 19 changed everything about how we respond to calls for service and social events, like the senior BBQ and local events. The Police department sponsored Senior BBQ still happened, with volunteers who delivered the meals in a safe way, we were able to hold the event. The pandemic touched everyone in some way. The Rutland Police suffered the loss of their Detective, John Songy. Detective Songy became ill early on and succumbed to the virus. This was felt state wide as Detective Songy was well known and loved by all. Some in town may remember Detective Songy as he was an officer here in Oakham for approximately five years. Traffic stops were down due to the pandemic. The department wrote citations for a total of 223 violations and a total sum of $6100. Even though the number of stops were down, the severity of the infractions were up. Here is a list of totals for all other activity: All Offenses committed - 129 Total felonies – 13 Total summons arrests – 53 Total non-crime related incidents - 159 Total crime related incidents - 55 Total arrests (on view) – 4 Total arrests on summons/warrant - 36 Total arrests (summons and physical) - 40 MV Accident totals 19

I would like to Thank Aaron Langlois for his dedication to the town during the pandemic. Aaron is the director of the Board of Health. Aaron kept us up to date with what was going on with the pandemic and worked tirelessly to ensure our safety.

BOARD OF HEALTH

The Board of Health is responsible for disease prevention and control, and health and environmental protection and promoting a healthy community. Boards of Health in Massachusetts are tasked (without specific state funding) to enforce and implement regulations from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. To fulfill these duties, local Boards of Health are empowered to develop, implement, and enforce health policies, oversee inspections to maintain minimum standards for sanitation in housing and food service, and assure that the basic health needs of their community are being met. Covid-19 has challenged our Board of Health to assess how we can reasonably meet these expectations going forward from a funding and a time perspective. Our town’s Board of Selectmen, administrative assistant, Finance Committee, Fire, Police and Emergency Management have been great partners in this past year as we confronted these challenges. We are also grateful to our community who despite the stress of COVID-19 overwhelmingly was understanding and supporting of our public health efforts.

Appreciation

We must offer our gratitude to two former Board of Health members. Bernice Giard Stone first elected in 2014 and after several years of service as Board Chair, retired in May of 2020. We also remember former member Leonard Bechen who was elected in 2016. He and Bernice worked hand in hand on many projects including Emergency Response and Vaccination Clinics. Leonard passed away untimely on December 3, 2019. These two members gave well above what was expected as an elected member of the Oakham Board of Health.

The Board of Health from January 2020-May 2020 held no scheduled meetings due to a vacancy and a member on a leave of absence. Member Aaron Langlois, RN functioned as Chair with support of the Oakham Board of Selectmen and led efforts on COVID-19 from March forward when the Board of Health and Board of Selectmen declared a public health emergency in Oakham.

Public Health Emergency

On March 16, 2019, Oakham immediately closed all town offices to public access due to the public health emergency declared. Board of Selectmen appointed on an interim basis Aaron Langlois, RN as Oakham Public Health Nurse to support pandemic efforts including case management, contact tracing, and community education and support. Oakham became a participant in the MAVEN Electronic Disease Surveillance System for Public Health Nurse Monitoring (at the time only 10 communities out of 351 in Massachusetts had not subscribed to this portal). This made completing the mandatory public health nurse follow up possible. Federal Care’s Act funding along with Massachusetts Public Health grants have funded the interim public health nurse activities and many public health efforts related to the pandemic. No town budgeted funds were used for these efforts. Throughout 2020 efforts have continued to support community members with COVID-19 as well as those quarantined due to exposure. COVID-19 confirmed/probable cases through June 30, 2020 were 7 with dozens additional as contact tracing and quarantined.

CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Now that there is a town moratorium placed on the installation of Solar Arrays by Oakham as well as by National Grid, our agenda has returned to a more normal time. We have returned to meeting on an as need basis since we have had no cases on hand since June. Meetings will be set for the first Tuesdays of the months at 6:30p.m. when required. In order to have a hearing placed on our agenda, all forms and fees must be submitted to the clerk of the board on or before the 15th of the month prior to the desired hearing date. Legal ad notices are published in the Telegram and Gazette at least 7 days prior to the hearing. The applicant is responsible for the cost of the ad. All meetings and hearings of the Conservation Commission are open to the public and all residents are welcome to attend. All agendas are posted at least 48 hrs. in advance as per state mandates. Anyone who has questions concerning the Wetlands Protection Act and/or the Rivers Protection Act can contact the Commission via email at [email protected] or by contacting one of the members of the Commission. When mailing forms and applications to the Commission, send to the Oakham Conservation Commission, 2 Coldbrook Rd #7, Oakham, MA 01068 and follow up with a call to our voice mail or email This year has been extremely quiet. Before COVID and the closing of the Town Hall, we held one hearing and 2 informational meetings. We performed site visits to the property of the solar array on Barre Rd. There are still 4 solar arrays in the waiting and one other application has been withdrawn. When COVID and all the shut downs occurred, we discontinued commission meetings until given permission to start again perhaps in September. However, even with COVID in full swing, necessary work for the Commission was handled at home by the clerk. Many requests were received for copies of Certificates of Compliance which were able to be provided easily from our computerized files and mailed out as dictated by the regulations. Also, two site visits were held as requested by individuals and protocols for COVID were met. We are awaiting the creation of a new town website. When this occurs we will be able to include all rules and regulations regarding Wetlands and how the Conservation Commission works. We will also be able to provided blank forms for the different types of permits being sought. December 31, 2019 we sadly accepted the resignation of Don Jodray as a member of and as the Chairman of the Commission for the past 15 years in Oakham. Prior to coming to Oakham, Don served on other ConCom boards for at least another 20 years. He seldom missed meetings and never missed hearings. He participated in most of the site visits for our hearings as well. He served his communities well and the Town of Oakham thanks him for his work and dedication to the Conservation Commission. With the retirement of Don, the Commission is in need of two members. Anyone interested in serving on this board should contact the Board of Selectmen for further information by calling 508-882- 3358

OAKHAM COUNCIL ON AGING For the first half of this fiscal year, we were able to maintain our usual offerings at the Senior Center. We did, however, discontinue the Exercise Program due to lack of participants in September. On the other hand, we had a good response to the chicken BBQ sponsored by the Police Department. We had an excellent turnout and were pleased to be able to home deliver several meals to those unable to attend. We also continued the Sunday afternoon card playing and music, monthly dine-out nights through October, the pen pal program and the Memory Writing group was as strong as ever in this its second year. The pre-holiday lunch was great and well attended at J&J’s Restaurant in Barre; and, what a holiday season we had. Many volunteers hand colored 30 Christmas cards for nursing home patients and shut-ins. Ninety cards were sent out to residents who are over 75 yrs. of age. Tina Bemis held a holiday center piece making class including greens of the season and a lantern. We were filled completely. Just a week and a half after the class, we held a lively and fun holiday dinner served by the heads of our town departments – Police Chief Gehring, interim Fire Chief Seth Knipe, Planning Board Chairman Phil Warbassse, Highway Superintendent, Kevin Currier and two Selectmen, Brad Taylor and Lucy Tessnau. The dining hall at the church was filled to capacity. Entertainment was provided by Don and Ronnie. Who can forget their impersonation of Elvis? And, the beautiful whimsical cake made by Mrs. Eric Ward with Santa falling down the chimney, all hand crafted and delicious-Wow! We ended in January with our annual luncheon at the Empire Buffet Chinese Restaurant to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Then it hit! It seems that everything came to a screeching halt. The Town Hall, including the Sr. Center, shut-down in March. The entire town was instructed to shelter in place and keep away from large groups. The Federal Government and the State Government developed protocols for everyone to follow to try to stop the spread of the deadly CORONAVIRUS. Masks and gloves became part of everyone’s wardrobe for a while. Sanitizing everything you touched was a must and washing of hands became standard practice. Because we did our part not to spread the disease, we were successful. Oakham had very few cases and we kept our Senior citizens safe. But, the virus continues and the search for a vaccine is hopeful. The Council on Aging went to work maintaining contacts with as many seniors as our limited personnel could do. Meals on wheels never stopped and we picked up a few extra people. Members made several calls to senior residents at least twice a month to check on their well-being and any need they might have had. We continued to send cards for birthdays and sent remembrances to the families of all those who died during this time, none of which due to the corona virus, as yet. In April, 50 small pots of pretty cool weather flowers were distributed with whimsical hand- made cards. Early in May, another 50 cards were mailed to more residents giving contact information in case anyone needed help. Our summer programs were cancelled by the end of June since there was no end in sight of the shutdown. We continued to do shopping for those who could not get out and were available whenever needed to run errands. The COA is working on other ideas to stay in contact with seniors until the end is in sight and we can go back to normal and open up the Town Hall and our meal site. We were so pleased to see that our residents took this pandemic so seriously and worked to keep it from spreading in Oakham for as long as possible. We wish you all good fortune during this crisis. Stay well and keep safe. Just remember that the COA is here for you. Respectfully submitted,

HISTORICAL COMMISSION

The Commission was officially notified in July that the Oakham Center Village had been approved by the Department of the Interior and Parks to be admitted to the National Register of Historic Places. The entire process has taken 7 years and we are all pleased that there was a successful outcome.

Now the town is able to begin working on road and drainage repairs once the survey of boundary lines has been completed by the company, CHA, hired by the Board of Selectmen. The Selectmen also did a walking site visit of the area noting 5 telephone poles that would need to be moved or changed. Commission members along with some of the residents of Maple St. attended two selectboard meetings to discuss some changes that may need to be made; such as: repairing the sidewalks, the drainage to prevent the icing of Maple St. in winter and the pooling of runoff water on upper Maple St., the removal of some trees where the roots will compromise reconstruction of the sidewalks and the removal of the small island at the intersection of New Braintree Rd. and Maple St. to improve the flow of traffic.

The highway superintendent presented the BOS with the project scope and cost of materials. Once National Grid has accomplished the repositioning of the poles work can begin. As of this report it appears that we are looking at the spring of 2021.

In the meantime, the Commission is working on producing a Self-Guided Tour of Oakham’s Historic District. As the completion time gets closer the members will be planning District street signs at its 4 entry points.

LIBRARY DIRECTOR

While FY2020 was unusual, to say the least, the Fobes Memorial Library enjoyed 9.5 months (July 1st - March 13th) of our regular services. These services included materials lending, community programming, and educational opportunities for patrons of all ages. During these months we hosted 255 programs including robotics classes, storytimes, books clubs, afterschool programs, homeschool programs, memoir writing workshops, art classes, special events, and visits from the school classes at OCS.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the library cancelled all programs beginning on March 13th and closed the library to the public on March 15th. The library began offering curbside pickup services to patrons on March 17th, and continued to do so until the library building reopened to the public in July. Patrons were able to call in with requests for books and movies and could also pick up take home craft activities for their children.

The library is so grateful to the Oakham Cultural Council for their continued support and would like to thank them for funding the following in-person program this year: Winter Animal Tracking with MA Audubon. While all other scheduled in-person programs were cancelled for FY20, the OCC allowed us to repurpose the awarded funds to be used to construct and install a permanent Story Walk in the center of town for families to enjoy.

The library and its staff are thrilled to continue to serve the town of Oakham and the wider community by providing free programs, books, DVD’s, free public computers and computer assistance, printing, copying, scanning and faxing services, book recommendations, research assistance, a loanable telescope, take home activities, a homebound delivery service and so much more! We are so appreciative of the support of the town and the wider community. We would also like to thank our dedicated volunteers and the Friends of the Fobes Memorial Library, Inc. who fund the majority of the programs that we offer.

Respectfully,

Samantha Bodine, Director

LIBRARY TRUSTEES

The Fobes Memorial Library Board of Trustees, along with everyone else, experienced a most unusual year. Despite the pandemic that began during the fiscal year, the library was able to attain many positive accomplishments.

From July of 2019 to March of 2020, the library offered a variety of regular activities for children, including Read and Play, Lego Club, and Robotics, as well as drama, sewing and art classes. These activities were very well attended. The Book Club was also able to hold its regular meetings. The Trustees, along with the Friends of the Fobes Memorial Library enjoyed hosting special events for people of all ages at the library. Some of the events held were the Agronomy Farm Vineyard/ Otters Concert to benefit the library (July 2019), the Apple Fest (September 2019), the Halloween Spooktacular (October 2019), the Tea and Chocolate Gathering (November 2019), Wreath Making (December 2019), the Royal Tea Party (December 2019), and the Annual Friends Meeting (February 2020).

Once spring arrived, it regrettably became necessary to cancel all remaining library activities, programs, and events for health and safety reasons. The library was closed in mid-March, due to a state order, but there was no gap in service. Library Director Samantha Bodine and members of the library staff were able to continue some library services. Storytime sessions were put on , home-based craft projects were posted online, book orders were taken over the phone, home deliveries of library materials were made, and curbside pick-up was initiated. The library was allowed to reopen in July, with limitations. All safety protocols were followed (cleaning, sanitizing, spacing…). The staff continued to assemble take-home craft kits with corresponding books. The Friends of the Fobes Memorial Library funded the kits.

Board members assisted with the update of policies pertaining to some of the children’s programs to ensure a safe environment for all participants. The Trustees also approved building maintenance and improvements to the library. Projects included the re-leading of two small front windows, the staining and painting of some windows and trim, the installation of sturdier bookshelves, regular elevator maintenance, and the refinishing of the hardwood floors.

The Trustees are most grateful to the Friends of the Fobes Memorial Library, the Oakham Cultural Council, and the Barre Savings Bank Charitable Foundation for their continued support. They also wish to recognize the library staff members for their remarkable ability to adapt, as well as their extreme efforts to continue serving the community during the unfortunate circumstances. Board members also wish to extend thanks to all our volunteers and supporters, including the O’Connor Family of the Agronomy Farm Vineyard in Oakham, and Oakham’s own band- the Otters. Many library patrons have enjoyed being able to participate in various indoor and outdoor local activities, and as the year went on, they appreciated the fact that they could do so in a safe manner.

We look forward to the time when we can once again gather at the library to share all that it has to offer.

PLANNING BOARD

We are pleased to submit this report of the Oakham Planning Board for Fiscal Year 2020 (July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020). This is the 63rd Annual Report to the Town since the Planning Board was established at the March 4, 1957 Annual Town Meeting.

Regularly scheduled meetings are open to the public and are held at the Town Hall on the third Monday of each month, except when a Monday is a designated legal holiday. Regular meetings, additional meetings and rescheduled meetings are posted in advance, including proposed agenda, in compliance with the Massachusetts Open Meeting Law.

Legal notices for public hearings are published in the Barre Gazette and/or the Worcester Telegram, and are also posted at the Town Hall, the Post Office, and the Fobes Memorial Library.

Residents' written comments to the Planning Board are always welcome.

However, the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus that appeared in America in January 2020 has severely affected Town business. Since February 2020 the Town Hall has been closed to the public.

ANR / "Approval Not Required" Lot Plans One ANR plan was submitted to the Board and endorsed in FY 2020.

Special Permit Uses Two special permits were issued in FY 2020.

Solar Bylaw Updated Since 2017, central and western Massachusetts towns have struggled to address the impact of large scale commercial solar projects. Current computer technology enables solar companies as far away as and Canada to locate sites in Massachusetts and hire Massachusetts engineering companies to prepare and submit applications to a town.

Massachusetts law prohibits outright denial of solar applications, but reasonable regulation may be imposed through town bylaws.

In 2017, Oakham received its first application for a large scale commercial solar project, to be accessed from 756 Barre Road. Following the public hearing procedure, a special permit with restrictions was approved in August 2018. Construction began immediately, and the work was completed by mid-summer 2019.

Five more applications followed in 2018; and between August 2018 and October 2018, the Planning Board issued special permits for five more large scale commercial solar projects.

None of these five applicants that were issued special permits have requested building permits because in 2018 National Grid received 8,900 applications for connection to their electrical substations and transmission lines, so National Grid suspended all applications for connection until an assessment of their entire infrastructure is completed, effectively creating a pause similar to a construction moratorium. The completed Barre Road project has not been connected to National Grid.

Through 2019, members of the Planning Board participated with more than two dozen other towns in several solar information meetings. From research and this learning experience, the Planning Board discovered that a majority of large scale commercial solar installations are sold numerous times through their anticipated twenty year life, during which time financial protection for a town may lapse.

44

In 2019 the Planning Board updated Oakham's 2013 solar bylaw, with the primary aim of ensuring sufficient financial protection for the Town in the event that the final owner of a large scale commercial solar installation defaults on the bylaw requirement to remove all parts of the installation and restore the land. Following the public information and hearing procedure required by Massachusetts law for amendment of a bylaw, Oakham's 2019 solar bylaw update was unanimously adopted by voters at a Special Town Meeting on December 3, 2019.

Subdivisions Through FY 2020, one existing subdivision, "Longview Estates", still requires completion in compliance with the Definitive Subdivision Plan recorded in 2001 at the Worcester District Registry of Deeds before it may legally be submitted to voters at a Town meeting for acceptance of the roads as new Town ways. The subdivision roads have received a finish coat of paving, but the subdivision owner has not yet prepared documentation and application to the Planning Board for engineer review and submittal to the voters for approval as new Town roads.

The two roads within "Longview Estates" remain private ways. Under Massachusetts law (Chapter 40 Section 6), municipalities are prohibited from maintaining private ways, including winter sanding and snow plowing.

Phillip Warbasse, Tom Hughes, Lisa Huntington, Peter Clifford, Nancy Monson

WIRING INSPECTOR

In the past year permits were taken out as follows. Five new homes, six generators, three solar installations, five additions or remodels, eight service changes or repairs, four mini-split systems, one guest house, two pools, 3 temporary services, one miscellaneous repair, one fire alarm system, one garage. Respectfully submitted, Dennis Bergin, wiring inspector

WACHUSETT GREENWAYS Navigating through Covid Times In 2020, Wachusett Greenways focused on safely navigating trail activity during the Covid-19 pandemic. This year the community especially benefitted from the Mass Central Rail Trail. Some trail users found this accessible, close to home, treasured resource for the first time. Wachusett Greenways is grateful to every trail user who is wearing a mask and distancing on the trail.

26 Years of Connecting the Community through Partnerships From the beginning, the Wachusett Greenways team has shared the mission to welcome everyone to enjoy the outdoors through trails in our region. This year Wachusett Greenways attained 26 years of connecting the community as an all-volunteer nonprofit partnership of community supporters, town and state government, local foundations and businesses. In 2020, the board continues working to ensure that the Mass Central Rail Trail is accessible. The board is focusing on diversity, equity and inclusion on the trail, in its board, among its volunteers and in its projects.

Trail Stewardship with Amazing Volunteers WG concentrated on stewardship of the Mass Central Rail Trail throughout this year of distanced contact. Dedicated volunteers were fundamental for trail maintenance. Very small teams, masked and distanced, carried out mowing, tree removal, brush cutting and drainage clearing. WG volunteers with special machinery completed some trail erosion and parking lot repairs. WG added several granite benches to the MCRT. Community and school groups, which WG relied on in prior years, will be a wonderful support when they resume volunteering in the future. Some town DPWs experienced staff reduction making them less available to participate with heavier trail maintenance.

Partner Town Support Wachusett Greenways thanks the citizens, select board members, town administrators and managers of our regional towns for their support for the Mass Central Rail Trail. In 2020, the towns, Barre, Holden, Oakham, Paxton, Princeton, Sterling and West Boylston, contributed toward Wachusett Greenways annual operating expenses. Despite the pandemic, some Towns still participated with mowing and special maintenance projects.

Key East-West Commonwealth Corridor Commonwealth agencies and other groups continue to construct more of the 104 mile MCRT between Northampton and Boston. In the central region, WG and our partners are working to complete the remaining ten miles of the central 30-mile section of this multi-use trail, for recreation, transportation and health. In 2020, Wachusett Greenways advanced construction on the Mass Central Rail Trail with grant support from the DCR Recreational Trails Program and the new MassTrails Program. The WG partnership with the DCR Watershed Division continued. We completed MCRT reconstruction in Holden for the connector section between River Street and Manning Street including the addition of an accessible-grade bypass. WG progressed on construction of the 0.8 mile section in West Boylston along old Pleasant Street between Route 140/Beaman Street and Prescott Street.

MCRT projects now underway for 2021 and beyond include surface restoration in West Boylston between Thomas Street and I-190, new construction of the 1.9 mile section in Holden from Mill Street to Princeton Street, replacement of the bridge in Sterling at the Quag/West Washacum and

47 reconstruction of the trail for accessibility in Rutland at Whitehall Road. Another future set of MCRT projects, which WG is planning, includes reconstruction in Holden between Manning Street and Route 31 at Mill Street with accessible grades and constructing the missing link in Rutland at Miles Road.

Events on Hold Trail events were on hold during the 2020 pandemic, as Wachusett Greenways awaits a safer time to gather. Wachusett Greenways cancelled the scheduled May annual meeting, intended to celebrate WG’s 25th anniversary. Finally, in December, WG held a small virtual annual meeting. When gatherings can occur in the future, we anticipate celebrating a Wachusett Greenways landmark birthday at the Mass Central Rail Trail.

Think Positive! Just as 2020 closed, on January 16, 2021, Eric Johansen passed away. Wachusett Greenways benefitted from Eric Johansen’s support from the beginning in 1994, and he continued to encourage making the Mass Central Rail Trail and open spaces accessible to all. Eric was a powerful inspiration and encourager for the whole community. His ‘Think Positive’ (thumbs up) sticker on the pink bumper of his red ‘EJ’s Painting’ truck was the cue to return his big smile and wave as we passed. He took time to build up EVERYONE, and he offered his enthusiastic leadership and humble support for a wonderful variety of community services.

Every Wachusett Greenways Donor Counts! Thank you to each supporter who contributed to Wachusett Greenways in 2020. New donors and loyal members are key. The total number of donors for the year reached 860 including 49 new members. Donors came from 128 different towns and 22 different states.

Wachusett Greenways welcomes every member. In addition, Wachusett Greenways has three special Mass Central Rail Trail Funds: 1) MCRT Construction Fund, 2) Edward P. Yaglou MCRT Maintenance Fund, 3) MCRT Stewardship Endowment Fund. Donors are invited to designate their gifts to any of these funds to help complete the trail, carry out regular maintenance, and protect the trail for the future.

You are invited to contribute at www.wachusettgreenways.org or by mail at Wachusett Greenways, P.O. Box 121, Holden 01520. A gift in any amount counts you as a member, and you will receive the Wachusett Greenways guide, which includes a map for the regions’ trails and greenways. Volunteers are welcome.

PATHFINDER REGIONAL VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

The Pathfinder Regional Vocational Technical High School District Committee is pleased to present this report to the citizens of the nine-town District. In the 2020 state elections, incumbents David Droz (Palmer), Francesco Dell’Olio (Belchertown), David Kirk (Warren) and Jeffrey Nelson (Oakham) were re-elected. Martin Goulet (New Braintree) was appointed in September, 2020. Kathleen Barrett (Monson) resigned, leaving a still unfilled vacancy for Monson. Members remaining on the Committee are Julie Quink (Hardwick), Michael Cavanaugh (Palmer), Lorraine Alves (Belchertown), William Johnson (Granby), and Marie Barbara Ray (Ware). At the Reorganization Meeting, David Droz (Palmer) stepped down as Chairman, Julie Quink (Hardwick) was elected as Chairperson and Michael Cavanaugh (Palmer) was re-elected Vice-Chairman. Lorraine F. Alves (Belchertown) was re-elected Secretary. The new Student Member of the Committee chosen by the students is Lauren Tracy (Palmer).

Although the format of this report is identical to previous years, the school committee is mindful that the latter half of 2020 was unlike any period in the school’s history. Following the closure of schools in mid-March by Governor Baker due to the Corona Virus outbreak, Pathfinder adhered strictly to all guidelines and protocols prescribed by the Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE), the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the local Board of Health. The school committee ultimately approved a hybrid model of instruction as well as a comprehensive Reopening Plan in the fall which may be found on the school’s website: www.pathfindertech,org.

CURRICULUM

Based on the most recent MCAS scores, Pathfinder has continued to improve on narrowing the proficiency gaps. For the third year in a row, Pathfinder has been designated by the DESE accountability rating system as Not Requiring Assistance or Intervention, signifying that moderate progress toward state set targets was achieved.

Part of the ongoing strategy for District improvement has been the implementation of a Math Enrichment Curriculum for all incoming 9th graders. This course focuses on calibrating compulsory math skills as students enter Pathfinder, with emphasis in the second half of the year on concepts tied to both math coursework and technical content. Additionally, all 10th graders engage in a targeted MCAS Preparation course, reviewing content and test- taking strategies for the spring testing period. For the 2019-2020 school year, all 9th and 10th grade students will be taking a writing seminar. This is a trimester long course that focuses on basic writing skills to assist with raising the level at which students are writing for their English courses, as well as for the 10th grade MCAS assessment.

In addition to honors level courses in all core academic content areas at all grade levels, Pathfinder also offered Advanced Placement coursework in Calculus, Statistics, English Language and Composition, US History, Government and Politics, and English Literature and Composition. In May 2020, 64 students sat for 79 exams. For the 2019-2020 school year, additional Advanced Placement courses were added in Psychology, Government and Politics, and Environmental Science. For the current school year of 2020-2021 Pathfinder has also added AP offerings in Biology, and Computer science. Efforts to increase the higher-level offerings for students are ongoing. In addition to adding several Advanced Placement offerings, a popular new Studio Art program was created. This program is an elective offering that is available to students in all four grades. An experienced art teacher was hired to develop and offer the program in a classroom that was remodeled to serve as an art studio. The Project Lead the Way Biomedical Science track has been added to the science offerings, and the roll out of this program will take place over the next few school years.

Curriculum on a whole is continuously being vetted and evaluated to make sure that students are mastering standards that are designated in the frameworks prescribed by the DESE. For the 2019-2020 school year, two pieces of educational software have been added to the curriculum, one for Math, and one for English Language Arts. In math courses, teachers are utilizing Illuminate Education. Illuminate Education is a digital assessment platform, where teachers can build common summative assessments for math courses, after which data can be collected and analyzed to improve instruction. The platform has the same capabilities technologically as the new MCAS 2.0 50 assessment, so our students can begin practicing with the same style of technology enhanced questions as they will see on the assessment. For English, our teachers have been utilizing a program called Study Sync by McGraw Hill. Study Sync is a digital curriculum where our teachers and students can deliver and receive their instruction on a computer or Chromebook. The curriculum makes use of all the typical novels that would normally be seen in an English Language Arts curriculum, but moves it into the digital age. It also allows our students to practice responding to questions and prompts more frequently using a computer or Chromebook, which will enable them to practice for MCAS 2.0. Including more electives and pathways in academic areas is a continuing conversation, in order to make sure that the needs of all learners are met. Course progressions in each academic area are being evaluated and discussed in order to be proactive for students and their development.

COOPERATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM

A total of 112 students have participated in the Cooperative Education and WIOA Programs during the 2019/2020 school year. Both programs were suspended from March 2020 thru July 2020 due to COVID-19. Currently a total of 34 students are participating in either or both the Cooperative Ed Program and WIOA. Since July 2020, parents and

51 employers are required to sign a COVID-19 permission slip stating that employers agree to meet or exceed the most current Commonwealth of Massachusetts COVID-19 guidelines for employee safety in regard to students participating in either the Co-Op or WIOA program. If the employer cannot meet the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ COVID-19 guidelines, the Co-Op student is required to return to school.

The Cooperative Education program provides opportunities for paid, career-related jobs in lieu of students’ attending their career and technical courses. This real work environment allows students to enhance their technical skills, develop interpersonal skills, and experience valuable lessons in maintaining a balance of both their personal lives, school, and jobs. The Cooperative Education Program is an experience that is rewarded to those students who demonstrate positive attitudes, good attendance, and better than average grades in their technical and academic classes. Partnerships with area businesses, coupled with strong program advisory committees, are a driving resource in placing students in cooperative education employment positions. Pathfinder remains committed to providing students with this valuable opportunity despite the challenges of 2020. The employment of co-op students often leads to full-time employment after graduation and is a valuable resume builder.

In addition to the Cooperative Education Program, Pathfinder is an In-School WIOA Title I Youth Vendor. As a result of this grant award, Pathfinder coordinates and oversees both subsidized and unsubsidized employment opportunities for eligible students during the summer months and throughout the school year. Normally Pathfinder would work to place WIOA participants in employment positions with partners such as the Palmer Library, Silver Bell Farm, and Monson Savings Bank to name a few. However due to COVID-19 restrictions and the challenges of placing students with employers, Pathfinder’s WIOA School Year Recruiter and Counselor, Cheryl Sawicki has worked tirelessly to ensure that WIOA eligible students participated over the summer months with positions in the area and on-line learning. Beyond this, Cheryl created a portfolio project for the students so they would be able to participate in the program remotely during the school year. This project has been approved by MassHire of Hampden County and will enhance the workplace readiness skills of the students.

STUDENT BODY AND STUDENT SERVICES

Pathfinder Tech's total enrollment was 611 as of October 1, 2020, including the following numbers from member towns: Belchertown 82; Granby 20; Hardwick 24; Monson 72; New Braintree 7; Oakham 10; Palmer 188; Ware 109; and Warren 38. The remaining students were residents of out-of-district communities, the largest number of students coming from West Brookfield (17) and Ludlow (13).

The Guidance Office—which also serves as the Admissions Office—received applications in excess of the th 9th grade openings. Transfer opportunities into 10 grade were also limited and a total of 13 new sophomores were admitted to the school.

Due to COVID-19, Pathfinder Tech was unable to host our usual large fall admissions events and outreach activities, but the Guidance Director was in contact with the middle school counselors from each of the in- district communities to ensure that students had access to the most up-to-date information using digital platforms. An exciting and energetic new video was created by a talented Pathfinder Tech junior and provided a glimpse at what Pathfinder Tech students had been up to this fall. The video received praise and created quite a stir on social media! The Guidance Director worked to update Pathfinder Tech’s outreach materials to ensure that all correspondence, whether it be in print or electronic format, was fresh, modern, and visually appealing. By December 1, 2020 more than 100 applications had already been submitted.

In 2020 The Pathfinder Chapter of the National Technical Honor Society recognized the largest group yet of deserving members, with a total of 53 students meeting the qualifications. The group consisted of 19 returning seniors, three new seniors and 31 new juniors; to qualify, students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above and exhibit the qualities of skill, honesty, service, responsibility, scholarship, citizenship, and leadership.

Despite the damper COVID-19 put on the traditional graduation season, Pathfinder Tech proudly held a hugely successful modified graduation on June 5, 2020—the original graduation date set for the Class of 52

2020! The graduating class of 154 students received diplomas and technical certificates at commencement exercises that spanned the course of an entire day outside on our beautiful campus grounds. Students graduated in waves of small groups and were each able to walk across the stage, dressed in their caps and gowns, with immediate family members cheering them on. Personalized lawn signs were displayed in front of the graduation stage to replicate the Class of 2020 being together as one.

Once again, state and local organizations and businesses, post-secondary institutions, as well as private individuals, continued to recognize the ability and potential of Pathfinder Tech graduates in the form of generous donations. At graduation, more than 50 scholarship awards were presented, totaling over $15,000, not including the numerous scholarships, grants, and awards that individual colleges and universities awarded to our graduates. In addition, 36 graduating Pathfinder seniors received the John & Abigail Adams Scholarship which qualified them to receive free tuition for up to four years at any Massachusetts state institution of higher learning. The school committee, administration-- and particularly the graduates-- are grateful for this support and are especially proud of the number of awards that have been made to honor the memory of former Pathfinder Tech students and staff members.

The staff in the Pathfinder Tech Guidance Department continued to work with students to be college and career ready, but also increased their efforts to support the emotional needs of students remotely when the school building was closed in March. As the Guidance Department is also responsible for overseeing 504 Accommodation Plans, the school counselors work to oversee the plans for the 45+ students served by 504 plans—which involves setting up meetings with teachers, students, and families to update plans and to ensure that the appropriate accommodations are in place.

The Student Services Department is responsible for overseeing Special Education services as well as Social Emotional Learning/Mental Health services. This year the Department has ensured the delivery of services for 168 students on Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). The Department has offered a range of assessment, educational, and counseling services designed to meet the diverse needs of our students. Staff work cooperatively with students, their families, academic and vocational teachers, and service providers in order to assist each student in reaching his/her educational and transitional goals. The Special Education Department provides a continuum of services with instruction taking place in both inclusion settings and in special education classrooms.

The Department continues to offer literacy instruction for qualifying students. Staff utilize assistive technology, including text- to- speech, speech- to text (voice dictation), and word prediction that assists students in reaching their academic potential. In addition to its investment in assistive technology, the Department also utilizes Bookshare, which is an organization that provides books in digital format for individuals with visual and learning disabilities. The Department has also continued to develop partnerships with outside agencies, including the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC) and the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) in order to assist students in their transition to post-secondary life. The Department is also working on improving its transition planning services by identifying - and when necessary developing - transition planning assessments to identify unique student needs as they move beyond Pathfinder.

After the COVID-19-related school closures in March of 2020, the Department worked to develop innovative ways in which to deliver services to students served by IEPs. Some students thrived in this new remote learning environment while others encountered new challenges they had not faced when the school building was open and learning was face-to-face. The Department worked to reduce these challenges by working collaboratively with other departments to ensure access to technology for all students.

Given the consequences the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought on the mental health and well-being of many, the Social Emotional Learning team has been busier than usual attempting to research interventions that might support staff and students alike. Student Services arranged for all school staff to attend several important Professional Development opportunities in the early fall. All staff attended Trauma and the Brain and a Social Emotional Learning 101 session; the feedback for both sessions was resoundingly positive and provided teachers with more opportunities to understand their students and themselves as well as how all have been impacted by the pandemic. The Social Emotional Learning Team is also involved in the Social Emotional Learning/Mental Health Academy through the Department of Elementary & Secondary Education. This connection provides the team and its 53 leader with professional development and a great deal of technical assistance as they create their short-term and long-term plans.

In addition to these activities and initiatives, the Administrative Team--- through the leadership of the Director of Student Services-- was able to facilitate all 9th and 10th graders' participation in DBT: STEPS-A, which is an evidence- based approach to helping teens skillfully manage difficult emotions, cope with stress, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and make better decisions. This is always important and more so now than ever.

Finally, in response to the overdue nationwide focus on racial justice and inclusion, the Pathfinder Equity Council was formed to assess where Pathfinder is in that regard and what improvements can be made to make the school a welcoming place for all. The Equity Council is a group of interdisciplinary staff members who will be engaging in a book study in addition to obtaining baseline data from the school community with the intention of improving policies and practices to ensure that Pathfinder is engaging in anti-racist efforts.

Gold medals went to – the Automated Manufacturing Team, Carpentry, and the Mechatronics Team. March 13, 2020, became our last face- to-face in-school day due to the pandemic shut down from COVID-19. The district quickly transitioned into remote learning. Members of the staff baked 500 cookies for the Palmer Town lunches which were distributed as part of the grab and go lunch program during the COVID-19 pandemic. In April, to highlight student achievement, Awards Ceremonies and Shows took place virtually: 1st Art Show, Senior Spotlight, and Student Awards.

In May, Programming and Web placed 2nd in the Mass STEM challenge held online for a successful recycling project. A Teen Processing Group began as a weekly online program.

ATHLETICS

Softball, Baseball, and Lacrosse were cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19.

The 2020 Pathfinder Football team did not have any games during the fall due to COVID-19. The team was able to practice, but could only work on conditioning. A reduced season has been tentatively slated to start on March 1, 2021. Kevin North, who was a volunteer last season, has replaced Phil Gallo as JV Football Coach. 13 Freshmen joined the team of about 30 players.

The Girls’ and Boys’ Soccer teams both earned one win in a shortened season (due to COVID-19). The teams played out of division and were grouped in a regional cluster playing the likes of Palmer, Monson, Ware, Belchertown, Granby, and Amherst.

Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball have been approved for the Winter 2021 season. Teams will also be playing out of division in a regional cluster including Palmer, Monson, Ware, and Hampden Charter While the major consideration for re- alignment of games in both soccer and basketball was distance and transportation costs, the end result for Pathfinder has been a significant increase in the level of competition.

Wrestling has been pushed back to March 1, 2021 due to COVID-19.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

The Summer Youth Enrichment Program was not offered due to COVID-19.

Pathfinder did, however, continue to offer an online Academic Summer School program designed to enable students to recover credit needed for promotion or graduation through a four-week, 40-hour course of study. The calendar ran from the last week in June until the final week of July. Additionally, Pathfinder offered in-district students a Vocational Related Summer School credit recovery option that spanned five days and a total of 20 hours.

All of the courses ran virtually this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, including the vocational related courses. Typically, students have the option to come into the building for summer school, but this year in order to limit exposure, it was 100% online.

In total, 62 students from 8 districts completed course work in 86 courses.

FACULTY AND STAFF

Currently the Pathfinder staff consists of 42 vocational teachers, 21.5 academic teachers, 2 teaching assistants, 6.5 special education teachers, 3 counselors, a part-time psychologist, a library-media specialist, a behavioral specialist, a school nurse and 8 paraprofessionals. The school is managed by the superintendent and a group of 8 professional administrators as well as a full-time grants/cooperative education coordinator. Other staff includes 6 custodians, 10 support staff, 2 cafeteria workers and 1 part-time treasurer.

In June, the school said farewell to retirees Mark Thompson and Michael Carr (Social Studies), and Gerard Costello (Electrical). Jackie Grimshaw (Café worker) retired the end of December.

Individuals new to Pathfinder included: Daniel Gifford (Social Studies) and Mandi Burns (Para)

Dr. Paist continues to serve on the Board of Directors of the Massachusetts Association of Vocational Administrators and on the Board of Directors of the Quaboag Hills Chamber of Commerce. An active member of the Association for Career & Technical Education, he is one of two Region I Directors for that organization’s National Council of Local Administrators (NCLA).

BUDGET AND FINANCE (Pre-COVID Budgets)

Prior to the negative financial impact of the COVID Epidemic in March of 2020, the school committee adopted a final FY21 budget of $14,642,301 representing a 1.18% Increase over the previous year. The 1.18% Increase in FY21 also included the fifth and final year of payments on the Total Roof Replacement Project. Subsequently, the majority of Pathfinder’s member communities voted approval on their assessments during their 2020 town meetings, thereby approving the FY21 budget pursuant to the regional school budget statute. Please note Pathfinder’s preliminary budget increases / decreases over the last 5 Years:

Budgetary Year Pre-COVID % Increase FY21 1.18 % FY20 2.23 % FY19 1.97 % FY18 0.00 % FY17 3.92 % 57

BUDGET AND FINANCE (Budget Adjustments due to the COVID Epidemic):

As the negative financial impact of the COVID pandemic worsened during the spring and early summer of 2020, Pathfinder made some decisive budgetary reductions to the FY20 and FY21 budgets. Explanations of the budgetary reductions are as follows:

 FY20 Budget: Upon the COVID closure of the district on Friday, March 13, 2020; Pathfinder froze all FY20 spending in anticipation of possible state or local budget shortfalls. Only essential overhead expenses were paid such as utilities, salaries and required contracts. In May of 2020, two priorities arose in regard to the FY20 budget. First, It became clear that the District’s Excess and Deficiency Fund needed to be maximized to support the upcoming years’ budgets (FY21 Budget and the FY22 Budget) as state and local aid shortfalls were materializing. Secondly, the district committed to returning unspent funds to member communities in an effort to assist them in a time of crisis. At the June 10,2020 school committee meeting it was voted and approved to return $100,000.00 of unspent FY20 funds back to the member communities. Each town’s share of the $100,000.00 refund was apportioned based on the regional agreement.

 FY21 Budget: After closing the FY20 budget as described in the previous paragraph, Pathfinder then focused on the reductions needed to the FY21 budget due to Chapter 70 (State Aid) anticipated shortfalls. In early September of 2020, state revenue forecasts began to indicate that Chapter 70 (State Aid) would be level funded from the previous year. Essentially, this meant that Pathfinder needed to reduce its FY21 budget by $174,986.00 to ensure that member community assessments would not increase. At the September 16,2020 school committee meeting, committee meeting, members unanimously voted to make the aforementioned budgetary reduction to ensure that member community assessments would not increase.

With the changes as described above, Pathfinder’s amended budget Increases / decreases over the last 5 years have been as follows:

Budgetary Year % Increase FY21 -1.22 % FY20 1.52 % FY19 1.97 % FY18 0.00 % FY17 3.92 %

Further 2020 Budgetary Information:

Included in Pathfinder’s FY21 approved budget assessment calculation, the Regional School Transportation Reimbursement Rate was estimated conservatively at 70 % based on DESE’s recommendations at that time. For FY20, the final Regional School Transportation Reimbursement Rate was 83.9 % for acceptable charges. Any additional funds received were placed in the District’s approved Surplus Transportation Aid Account and must be used in the following fiscal year to reduce the District’s transportation budget pursuant to Massachusetts General Law.

In the past, Pathfinder has generated substantial annual revenue from the enrollment of non-resident tuition students after all eligible in-district applicants have been accepted. These revenues are used to subsidize the annual operating budgets and reduce District assessments. While the out- of -district tuition revenue has been stable for the last 4 years, we do anticipate a reduction of revenue in FY21 due to out of district tuition enrollment reductions. An FY21 estimate of revenue along with the actual revenue for the last four years is as follows:

58

Out of District Tuition Year Out of District Annual Tuition Revenue FY21 $382,000 (Estimated) FY20 $580,727 (Actual) FY19 $579,176 (Actual) FY18 $566,234 (Actual) FY17 $561,359 (Actual)

As stated above, Pathfinder’s Chapter 70 Aid has remained unchanged for FY21 as the state level funded Chapter 70 Aid due to revenue shortfalls in regard to the COVID pandemic. It is Pathfinder’s hope that in the upcoming FY22 budget year and beyond, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will make progress on funding the Student Opportunity Act which promised to update the Chapter 70 formula in regard to funding disparities in districts with higher percentages of low-income students or English Language learners.

While the end of the FY20 fiscal year and beginning of the FY21 fiscal year have been challenging, it is Pathfinder’s hope that there is light around the corner. With optimism that the current COVID vaccine is successfully administered and that infections begin to decrease, Pathfinder is steadfastly committed to prudent budgetary practices in an effort to provide a leading edge technical education in the most fiscally responsible manner.

CONCLUDING STATEMENT

As Pathfinder enters its 48th year offering quality career and technical education to our member communities, the school committee wishes to reaffirm its pride in the staff and students. They have made substantial contributions to the economic health of our District. The committee recognizes that, in this era of accountability and high expectations, many changes need to be made. The increased emphasis on academic skills needs to be maintained without diminishing the quality of students’ technical studies.

Finally, the committee wishes to thank our legislators, town officials, and the several town meetings for their support over these years.

The committee is mindful of the prediction that FY21 fiscal picture will undoubtedly present another challenge. However—as always-- the goal will be to preserve the quality of education that the students deserve.

Quabbin Regional School District Annual Report School Year 2019-2020

During the 2019-20 school year, the Quabbin Regional School District continued to pursue its primary mission: to provide a collaborative and inclusive learning community dedicated to ensuring that all students discover and develop their individual talents, achieve academic and personal fulfillment, and become responsible citizens and members of our global society. The focus of our collective work in the 2019-2020 school year was achievement of the strategic objectives outlined in the QRSD Strategic Plan, adopted in January of 2019. Several important steps were planned and taken in the initial months of the school year to address our strategic objectives and initiatives. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 crisis caused a shift in the focus of our work. In mid-March we began to spend the vast majority of our time attending to the challenges of effectively educating and supporting our students and their families in the midst of a mandated school shut-down of undetermined duration. In retrospect, it is evident that our efforts, despite the pandemic, have aligned perfectly with our stated goals and objectives, as outlined below. Fostering the District’s identity as an inclusive and essential community resource and partner is outlined under strategic goal one as Quabbin Pride. We continue to focus efforts on increasing community awareness of the achievements of our students and faculty, increasing community involvement in our schools, and advancing partnerships with businesses, municipal leaders, and families. We believe that attending to strengthening our collective efforts on behalf of our students and our communities will allow both to flourish. We have taken numerous steps to address our Quabbin Pride objective, among them are: ● Continuing to seek opportunities for expansion of existing and initiation of new partnerships with community-based organizations and municipal governments. Examples of existing partnerships are Q-Drug Task Force, local Senior Centers, Hardwick Youth Center, local Food Banks, Listening Wellness Center and the Wellness Hub Yoga and Mindful Center ● Partnering with local public safety and health officials to implement and strengthen school safety plans and well as to plan our health and safety response to COVID-19. ● Making it a priority to find innovative ways to maintain important school and district traditions, despite limitations brought on by COVID-19. Each elementary school was able to honor grade 6 students who were moving on to middle school, and hold an end of year drive-by celebration for all students. The Middle School planned a grade 8 recognition ceremony for late in the summer. High School Baccalaureate took place in June with a drive-in event and graduation was planned for August. ● Making a commitment to bring back long standing traditions that have been put on hold due to COVID- 19 as soon as it is safe to do so. The absence of many traditional school happenings such as the spring athletic season, concerts, plays, proms, field trips, assemblies and field days from our school calendars due to COVID-19 represented a great loss to our school community and the community at large. It is an essential component of our educational programming that we are looking forward to reinstating. ● Increasing efforts to partner with families specifically related to how best to meet their needs during the pandemic. Examples of this include: ○ Parent surveys 61

○ Frequent school and district-wide updates ○ Online meetings for questions and answers about educational programming ○ Online parent support meetings ● Increasing community outreach, particularly for citizens who were in need of food during the pandemic. From March to June, our Food and Nutrition Department distributed 101,292 free meals to families across our school district. Strategic objective two Academic Growth, focuses on continuous improvement in the areas of curriculum, instruction and assessment. In order to ensure that our students are prepared for the ever-changing world of employment that they will enter at the completion of their education, we must prepare students to communicate and collaborate effectively, to think creatively, and to actively and confidently pursue the knowledge necessary to solve increasingly complex global challenges. Our efforts to continually evaluate and revise our curriculum, assessments and instructional practices ensures that our students develop not only foundational understanding, but more importantly, that they develop the skills necessary to independently gain new knowledge necessary to solve complex problems that they will undoubtedly face in the future as they successfully navigate the rapidly evolving global workplace. We have addressed our Academic Growth objective by taking the following steps: ● Expanding our existing Innovation Pathways programs for Advanced Manufacturing and Information technology by: ○ adding new industry partners for expanded internship opportunities for students; ○ obtaining several grants totaling nearly $300,000 used to purchase industry standard equipment and technology for students to use in the high school as they train for internships and for enhancing the new Innovation Pathways Program. ● First year implementation of an innovative alternative education pathway for high school students with unique learning needs. ● First year implementation of Blended and Personalized Learning partnership with The Highlander Institute. Twenty-three educators and twelve administrators from across the district volunteered to engage in an intensive pilot program that involved professional learning, professional goal setting and classroom coaching. ● Continuing our extensive professional learning for staff focused on the development of engaging learning activities and assessments that support problem solving, communication, collaboration, and application of skills and knowledge to real-life situations. ● Providing 100% remote learning to all students within two weeks of our mandated COVID-19 school closure. Computers were distributed to students and staff, school hot-spots were relocated to provide access to wifi from school parking lots, educators learned how to effectively utilize Google classroom and then in turn taught their students and many parents how to learn from home. Our third strategic objective, Social and Emotional Growth, points to our need to foster the social emotional and physical well-being of all students and staff to support academic achievement. Approaching problems with confidence, intellectual curiosity, and having the resilience to move forward when things do not go as planned are all areas of social-emotional well-being that we are increasingly focused on teaching in our educational programs. The necessity of this strategic objective has been strongly reinforced by the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has presented to both students and staff. Our efforts to address our Social and Emotional Growth objective during the 2019-2020 school year have included the following: ● Continuing our ongoing vigilance in the area of school safety, age appropriate safety training and drills were conducted on an ongoing basis with students and staff. 62

● Engaging all staff in extensive professional learning related to social emotional learning. New social emotional learning strategies have been incorporated in classrooms across the school district. ● Expanding our clinical staffing to include two clinicians and a lead clinician as well as a second adjustment counselor at the middle/high school. The addition of these positions has allowed for increased support for students experiencing social and emotional challenges and has also allowed for expansion of programming for students with the need for intensive support in the areas of behavioral and social emotional health. Our goal is to provide more support for students within our school district ultimately, reducing the need for students to attend tuition-based private special education schools outside of our district whenever possible. ● Expanding services for students in our middle and high School Therapeutic Learning Centers (TLC) and first year implementation of our elementary Therapeutic Learning Center. ● Providing additional supports for families and caregivers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Supports offered included many evening online sessions designed to answer questions and provide strategies for student support that parents and caregivers could implement at home. ● Providing ongoing support for students in the areas of social and emotional health. The COVID-19 pandemic created a far greater need to provide these supports for our students. This was incredibly challenging in that in-person meetings were impossible and the effective use of technology for counseling was new to both students and staff. Nevertheless, our school counseling staff, and clinical team met regularly with students during our mandated shut-down. Our fourth strategic goal is Commitment to Community. The communities that make up the Quabbin Regional School District have demonstrated their commitment to their children and to the District over and over again through the years through their support of our financial needs. It is essential that we demonstrate a reciprocal commitment to our communities. We recognize that our students are best served when our communities are able to achieve their goals. Working together to find innovative ways in which the financial needs of member towns and the financial needs of the district can both be met is challenging but worthwhile work. Our plan outlines several steps that the District will employ to ensure that we continue to explore opportunities to reduce costs, increase revenue and use available resources efficiently and effectively. Steps taken to address our Commitment to Community strategic objective in the 2019-2020 school year have included the following: ● Increasing our outreach to municipal leaders, local businesses and workforce development organizations to strengthen internship, capstone, and community service opportunities for high school students. Student interns were placed in many local organizations, including Hubbardston Senior Center, Hartman's Herb Farm, Physical Therapy Innovations, Barre Family Health Center and 123 Grow Childcare Center. ● Allocating DESE Regionalization grant funding to support a study conducted by the Massachusetts Association of Regional Schools (MARS). The goals of the study were outreach to area school districts to explore opportunities for sharing services and/or regionalization to achieve greater cost efficiency and improved service delivery. The study also included an analysis of potential future financial challenges for the Quabbin Regional School District. The study results were presented to the QRSD School Committee, and are planned for future presentation to all member town select-boards once in-person meetings are feasible. ● Continuing advocacy with local and state officials and legislators about the inadequacy of the state school funding formula in addressing the specific economic issues facing rural, regional educational institutions with declining enrollment. ● Engaging the services of the New England School Development Council to conduct a demographic study for the Quabbin Regional School District. The results of this study will be considered in future district planning. 63

The Quabbin Regional School District is committed to ensuring that our graduates leave us with the capacity to succeed throughout their lives and careers as capable, continuous learners who, as engaged citizens will strive to improve their world. The support that our District receives from the citizens of our member communities and from parents and guardians of our students is paramount to achievement of our mission and to our childrens’ future. We sincerely appreciate the efforts that our communities make to ensure that our students have educational opportunities that will set them on the path for lifelong success.

QUABBIN REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL END OF YEAR REPORT 2019-2020

Quabbin Regional High School is a collaborative learning community where all students have opportunities to achieve personal excellence in a safe and accepting environment. The high school’s mission is to prepare students to become self-reliant, life-long learners who are responsible and resourceful citizens in a global society. On June 5, 2020, Quabbin Regional High School graduated 145 members of the Class of 2020. Among the graduates were International Baccalaureate Diploma students as well as AP students. The ceremony to celebrate their graduation was held in August due to pandemic restrictions. The following is information from the 2019-2020 school year: As of October 1, 2019, Quabbin Regional High School had a smaller student body than the 2017-2018 school year with 147 Seniors (2020), 149 Juniors (2021), 164 Sophomores (2022) and 157 Freshmen (2023). There were 143 School Choice students at QRHS. Among the graduates there were International Baccalaureate Diploma recipients. Both IB program and Advanced Placement courses continue to be offered. At the same time, the school has increased its honors course offerings in several subject areas. There really is something for everyone at QRHS. The Quabbin Regional High School continues its implementation of an Innovation Pathways Program. This program is a comprehensive program that prepares students to pursue careers or further their education in industry or information technology. Students who participate in this program have the opportunity to receive internship training as well as take college level courses. The funding to start this program was provided by a grant. In November 2019, the National Honor Society inducted its new members. The annual toy drive sponsored by the National Honor Society was again successful, raising approximately $2,000 for needy children in the district. The National Honor Society students were able to buy toys for many local students in need. In November 2019, the NJROTC annual inspection took place. Once again, for the fourteenth time, the Quabbin program was recognized as a Distinguished Unit for the overall excellence of its program. The Quabbin Regional High School has developed collaborative relationships with a number of community organizations. Among them are the Q-Drug Task Force, the Listening Wellness Center in Barre, the Senior Center in Barre and the Hardwick Youth Center. Students at the school also donated non-perishable food items to both the Barre and the Hardwick Community Food Banks. The guidance department sponsored an annual college fair held in the fall that brought many college, vocational schools and military recruiters into our building in order to speak directly with students. This gives students the opportunity to research and ask questions directly connected to their post-secondary planning. As of March 13, 2020, we began to transition to remote learning due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Dr. Muir corresponded with parents and staff regularly to pass along updates and important information. Teachers were instructed to work remotely, to communicate with their students and to provide work that students and parents could access remotely. By mid-April, a firm remote learning plan was implemented based on recommendations from the Department of Education, which required that certain learning activities would be completed and submitted on a weekly basis in order for students to get credit for the third trimester. Faced with the challenges of remote teaching and learning, especially for those with limited or no internet service, teachers and students worked hard to adapt. In short time, a new way of learning was in place throughout the District and would remain through the end of the school year in June. The staff and students in the Quabbin Regional School District proved their resilience through such an unprecedented and challenging time, both in education and life in general. 65

Quabbin Regional High School offers students many opportunities to participate in outside standardized testing programs on campus which include: PSATs, SATs, AP exams, IB exams and ASVAB testing. Much of this testing was suspended or modified in the spring, due to the pandemic. All graduates complete a Capstone Experience that reflects achievement of the Quabbin Regional High School’s Learning Expectations. This is a student-centered experience; the students will decide how they will accomplish their Capstone. It may be independent of a class through extracurricular programs, by doing honors research, taking a college course, engaging in an internship or taking a Capstone Seminar course. The students from Quabbin Regional High School contribute community service, as a graduation requirement, to many local organizations from the local fairs to municipal offices. All students are required to complete forty-five hours of community service. It is recommended that this be completed before their junior year. Quabbin has a proud athletic tradition, dating back to the opening of the school in 1967. Quabbin is a member of the Midland-Wachusett League and a participating member of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA). Quabbin fields athletic teams in Baseball, Basketball (Boys & Girls), Cross Country (Boys & Girls), Field Hockey, Football, Golf (Boys & Girls), Indoor and Outdoor Track (Boys & Girls), Soccer (Boys & Girls), Softball, Tennis (Girls), and Wrestling. The Quabbin Regional High School also participates in an ice hockey cooperative program through Gardner High School. Students also have many opportunities to participate in co-curricular activities and organizations, among which are the National Honor Society, the International club, the Classics club, Yearbook, the GSA, the Envirothon team, the Composting and Gardening club, an outdoors club, the Quiet Minds club (yoga), Drama, LINK crew, and a volleyball club.

QUABBIN REGIONAL MIDDLE SCHOOL END OF YEAR REPORT 2019-2020

To welcome students and parents to the Middle School, 7th and 8th grade orientation night was held at the start of the school year. Student schedules were distributed and a mock schedule was followed so that parents and students could meet teachers and learn classroom expectations. Attendance was extremely high, as parents and students look forward to the orientation night, which seems to lessen the anxiety of a new school year. Information about the 8th grade Washington, D.C. trip was given during this night. During the 2019-2020 school year, we welcomed 177 seventh graders and 189 eighth graders. This made the total Middle School student enrollment 366. Middle School Extracurricular Activities The Middle School has continued its community involvement through “Trick or Treat for UNICEF” and donations of canned goods, collected at Middle School dances, to benefit local food banks. The arts are an important part of the curricula and co-curricular activities at the middle school. Artwork from middle school students was entered into the Boston Globe Scholastic Art Competition. Also in February, middle school students participated in the Quabbin Valley Music Festival in Palmer. These students were chosen by their music directors and attended two rehearsals to prepare for this concert. This was an excellent opportunity for students to play or to sing with a larger ensemble and to work with a new conductor without having to go through the audition process. COVID-19 Response As of March 13, 2020, we began to transition to remote learning due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Dr. Muir corresponded with parents and staff regularly to pass along updates and important information. Teachers were instructed to work remotely, to communicate with their students and to provide work that students and parents could access remotely. By mid-April, a firm remote learning plan was implemented based on recommendations from the Department of Education, which required that certain learning activities would be completed and submitted on a weekly basis in order for students to get credit for the third trimester.

In short time, a new way of learning was in place throughout the District and would remain through the end of the school year in June. The staff and students in the Quabbin Regional School District proved their resilience through such an unprecedented and challenging time, both in education and life in general. As a result of the transition to online learning, many traditional activities were cancelled, postponed or modified. Among these were the week long 8th grade trip to Washington, D.C., the 7th grade day trip to Boston, Special Olympics, elementary parent orientation nights and the National Junior Honor Society Induction Ceremony. We also did not have an honors breakfast in May or the traditional 8th grade graduation ceremony.

OAKHAM CENTER SCHOOL NEW BRAINTREE GRADE SCHOOL ANNUAL REPORT 2019/2020

The first official day of school was Tuesday, August 27, 2019. Staff, as always, reported one day earlier to finish preparation for the new year. Our opening day enrollment was as follows:

GRADE ENROLLMENT K 25 1 21 2 40 3 24 4 22 5 32 6 29 TOTAL 193

We had a typical start to the school year, with the three Oakham buses and one New Braintree bus delivering students safely to school. As in year’s past, buses moved a little slower on the first few days, but drivers and students soon fell into the “school routine”. On the first day, and most days to follow, an officer from the Oakham Police Department was present at arrival and dismissal times, offering reassurance and a friendly presence to our school community

We welcomed two new specialists to our buildings this year – Mr. Cedric Marsh joined the district to teach elementary art and Mr. Zach Sabo began the year as a STEM teacher at the elementary level. Mrs. Boucher moved from 4th to 5th grade this year, to fill the need for a second teacher in grade 5. Our cafeteria manager, Ms. Stephanie Serrano, left the district to pursue a new adventure, and was replaced by Ms. Shaina Jones.

Bus evacuations, fire drills, open houses and school picture day were scattered throughout our first month of school. As we moved toward fall, we started our usual fundraising events to benefit the 6th grade Nature’s Classroom trip and helped to raise money to fight MS by hosting a Go Orange day. We were pleased to have members of our local fire departments at both schools to provide fire safety programs for students in October and our third grade class welcomed members of the New Braintree Grange into their classroom as part of that organization’s Words for Thirds program. On October 31st, our K & 1 students from New Braintree spent the day at OCS for some community learning with their older classmates and, of course, to join in some fun fall festivities. Starting in November, grade 4 students joined with local senior citizens for the annual pen pal program. Students and seniors send 4 or 5 letters throughout the school year, and finally get to meet their “secret” pen pal at the ice cream social in June.

Students and teachers worked to meet goals of the first trimester prior to its end on November 26th. The month also brought our annual Veterans Day program, where students and staff get to honor many of our local veterans. We also had the pleasure of being all together once again, K-6, for our school-wide Thanksgiving feast. Prior to sharing lunch together, we were treated to a

68

musical performance by the Berkshire Hills Performance Troupe, which brought students and staff to their feet, singing, dancing and cheering them on. At the end of the month, the Maple Winds Orchestra came to OCS for their annual Nutcracker performance.

December was a quick month, with three snow days, two snow delays and winter break. The second trimester was well under way as we headed into the cold winter months. On January 21st, NBGS had no water due to the cold weather, so K & 1 students spent the day at OCS learning in their Oakham classrooms. The winter months were interspersed with musical performances by our band, chorus and orchestra members, and the second trimester was moving along swiftly.

On March 2nd, guests from Oakham and New Braintree spent the morning visiting with students and reading to classrooms as part of Community Reading Day. Students always enjoy having a visitor in the classroom and we welcomed the opportunity for members of the community to come in and spend some time with us.

Just as students and staff were finishing up work for the end of Trimester 2, we were forced to cancel school due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Little did we know that the doors would not open to students again for the remainder of the school year.

Dr. Muir corresponded with parents and staff regularly to pass along updates and important information. Teachers were instructed to work remotely, to communicate with their students and to provide work that students and parents could access remotely. By mid-April, a firm remote learning plan was implemented based on recommendations from the Department of Education, which required that certain learning activities would be completed and submitted on a weekly basis in order for students to get credit for the third trimester. Faced with the challenges of remote teaching and learning, especially for those with limited or no internet service, teachers and students worked hard to adapt.
