BARTLETT — Bartlett School Board meetings are drawing a crowd these days, with proud parents turning out to see a swath of Bears honored as the students and staff of the month at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School.
“This is my new favorite tradition,” said Principal Phyllis Bellemare at the board’s Nov. 13 meeting. Bellemare came up with the idea to give student honorees certificates and medals, and the staff members an engraved glass plaque during a brief ceremony in the school’s gymnasium.
