WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The third-grade class at Williamstown Elementary School will sponsor a pancake breakfast from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 21, in the school cafeteria.

The cost is $6 for adults and $5 for children, with a family cap of $25. This price includes pancakes, a choice of bacon or sausage, a cup of fruit salad, and a juice or coffee. There also will be a table with individually priced bagels, yogurt and baked goods.

The breakfast is helping to fund the third-grade spring trip to Historic Deerfield Village, where they will visit re-creations of Native American sites as well as colonial homes. 

The breakfast runs at the same time as the annual PTO Camp Fair in the school gymnasium, where representatives from local camps have information about summer programs. There is no admission charge for the camp fair. For more information, call the school at 413-458-5707.

Edgerton Taking Part-Time Role at Mount Greylock

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Mount Greylock Regional School District is formalizing a partnership with an area leader in the field of cultural proficiency.
 
Pittsfield's Shirley Edgerton will join the staff at Mount Greylock Regional School for a half day per week through the end of the school year and for the foreseeable future, Superintendent Jason McCandless told the School Committee on last week.
 
"We began working with Shirley Edgerton several years ago to address some specific circumstances at Mount Greylock Regional School," McCandless said. "I've known her and respected her and consider her a mentor and someone who helped me take steps forward in understanding my own biases.
 
"Our administration, after a consultation, brought forward a plan that is very low cost and is dependent on Shirley thinking enough of us to alter her very busy, quote, 'retired' life to become part of our community."
 
McCandless made the announcement Tuesday after reviewing for the committee the district's three-year plan to continue addressing the goals of the 2019 Student Opportunity Act.
 
Edgerton, who was a cultural proficiency coach in the Pittsfield Public Schools for more than eight years, also serves as the founder and director of the Rites of Passage and Empowerment program.
 
Her more regular presence at Mount Greylock will continue work she already has undertaken with staff and students at the middle-high school, McCandless said.
