Footwork Friday
For the remaining Fridays in April and May, PES students are
encouraged to walk to school if possible. Footwork Friday events
are intended to promote health, fun, and safety. We want
children who are able, to rediscover benefits of walking or
biking to school, and we will make it possible to do so safely.
Bus Students. All bus routes will run to school these
Fridays, but depending on their routes, they will make a stop at
P&M Market or at the bottom of Bow Street on Tilton Hill Road.
Students interested in walking to school will be met at those
locations by either Mr. Kilmister or Mr. Curtin and invited to
walk the rest of the way to school. Several parents and staff
members have volunteered to walk with students from P &M to the
school. Of course, students may choose to stay on the bus and be
dropped off in front of the school.
Downtown Students. Students who live downtown will have the
option of riding their busses, which will make their regular
scheduled pickups, or walking to school. A police officer or
crossing guard will be stationed, starting at 7:15, at the
intersection of Carroll Street, Depot Street, and Catamount
Road.
Footwork Fridays are part of Pittsfield’s Safe Routes to
School initiative, a partnership between the Pittsfield Schools,
the Pittsfield Police, the Pittsfield Fire Department, the
Pittsfield Highway Department, the PES PTO, the School Board,
the Select Board, community volunteers, and the Central New
Hampshire Planning Commission.
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a national program that
brings federal money to communities in order to promote health
and safe streets accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists. Down
the road this could include money for infrastructure such as
sidewalks, crosswalks and lights.
Footwork Fridays are scheduled for the following dates this
spring: April 23, May 7, May 14, May 21, and May 28.

Dorcas Guild
Submitted By Joan Riel
The Dorcas Guild of the First Congregational Church in
Pittsfield met the evening of April 13th with fourteen members
attending. The meeting opened with devotions by Nella Hobson,
who read “Labor Of Love” from a book of “Fifty Familiar Sayings
From The Bible.” All joined in the Lord’s Prayer.
The Secretary gave her report of the previous meeting and
read items of correspondence. Many cards were circulated and
signed to be sent to away, sick and shut-in church family
members. The Treasurer gave her financial report.
Shirley Bleckmann took the Food Basket which will go next to
Elaine Coffey and Audrey Moore. Shirley also took the Apron
which will travel next to Peggy Jacobs. The Mystery Package,
brought by Linda Stasiak, was won by Peggy Jacobs.
The Service Project for this year was discussed and a new
list of needs, for refugee families just starting out, was given
out. A delegate to NACCC was tabled last meeting but it has now
been learned no funds are needed as no one is attending
this year.
A trip to the Cathedral in the Pines was discussed and
members voted to go on July 10th (a Saturday). Corine Miller has
offered to be in charge of arrangements. Holiday banners for the
front of the Sanctuary were discussed. It was decided to put
this project on hold, until next meeting when catalogs will be
available.
The Guild will be responsible for the Fellowship Hour after
Morning Worship on May 23rd. Plans were discussed for the Annual
Banquet on June 8th. Elsie Morse and Sue Case will check on
possibilities.
Following delicious refreshments by Nella Hobson, Sally
Lewis, and Betty MacKay, a White Elephant Yankee Swap was
enjoyed.
The next meeting on May 14th will be a flower arranging
night so members are asked to bring a small vase and a few
dollars. Hostesses will be Kathy Bergeron and Mary Jo Powelson.
