The latest news from 'Capital Hill' on Nasmith Brook Road.
The 8th grade Humanities class created a model government in the most literal sense of the word. Four excellent presidential candidates, Jesse James, Gabe Grovemen, Julia Light and Kayanna Burns ran ethical, dynamic campaigns. Ultimately, Kayanna Burns was elected President with Gabe Groveman as Vice President. The remainder of the class became members of Congress, lobbyists and journalists. For 3 days at school, students drafted bills in Senate and House committees that addressed issues around gun control, DACA, and illegal immigration. Meanwhile, the President and her Cabinet, while trying to move her agenda forward, also had to deal with several fictional international crises that tested the strengthen of her administration. The class went to the State House and utilized both House and Senate chambers to read, deliberate, and vote on bills. After hours of debate, one bill passed through both chambers, and made to the desk of the President, who signed the bill which provided a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients. Congratulations to the 8th grade class, you were indeed a model government.

SPRING 2017
Gardening season is here and the 7th grade class has been working hard this spring to prepare and expand Twinfield's garden.
Students visited Maplehill School Farm in May and planted tomatoes in the greenhouse with Vivian Stein, farm educator. The 7th grade class hosted the 1st Twinfield Community Garden Work Party. It was a huge success. We transplanted raspberries, prepared the garden beds and feasted together on local beef and greens. We hope to have a healthy crop of tomatoes, squash, onions and potatoes in the fall that we can eat, cook and share with our community.
