Lanesborough Elementary School Holds 'Vocabulary Parade'

Print Story | Email Story

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Lanesborough Elementary School held its annual Vocabulary Day Parade on Nov. 22.

Students in kindergarten through sixth grade dressed up in colorful and creative costumes signifying words of their choosing. Both new additions to students' vocabulary and old favorites were portrayed, with students dressed up to represent words like "festival," "currency," "claustrophobia" and "illuminate."

"Not only is the parade a lot of fun for students, their parents, and the whole school community, but the vocabulary parade is a time kids will acquire new words as well," Principal Martin McEvoy said. "Non-linguistic representations have been shown to be powerful learning agents, and it is also an opportunity for us to foster the love of words and language in our students.

Lanesborough Open Space and Recreation Plan Survey

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — The town of Lanesborough is seeking input on its upcoming Open Space and Recreation Plan.

The town's Open Space and Recreation Plan Advisory Committee is asking the public to complete a 20-question survey about the community's outdoor recreation and conservation priorities, needs, and desires. The survey is open to both residents and visitors until Dec. 12.

The survey is on the town's website and at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LanesboroughOSRP. Paper copies are also available at the library and at town hall.

The responses will inform the committee's development of policies and strategies that the town and local partners will implement during the next 10 years to achieve the community's open space and recreation goals. Additionally, the town's updated Open Space and Recreation Plan will make the town eligible for state funding to improve its recreational facilities and protect natural resources.
