BARTLETT — Bartlett School Board meetings are drawing a crowd these days, with proud parents turning out to see students and staff of the month honored at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School.
Bellemare told the honorees: “I want you to know I didn’t choose you. Your teachers and colleagues chose you. I just get to read all the great stuff about them.”
