WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, March 21, the Clark Art Institute hosts a free screening of the 1966 film "Fahrenheit 451" as part of the Williamstown Public Library 150th Anniversary Film Series.

Adapted from the Ray Bradbury novel and directed by Francois Truffaut, "Fahrenheit 451" imagines a future society that has banned all reading material.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Williamstown Elementary School first-grade teacher Greta Noyes feeds her students' natural curiosity and makes them excited to learn.

It is her dedication to her students, caring heart, and welcoming atmosphere that has earned her the iBerkshires Teacher of the Month designation.

"I just love what I do, and I know every day is going to be a good day … It is never a dull moment, and it's always exciting, and it's good to see the curiosity and the eagerness of our students and how they bring so much joy to the classroom," she said.

The Teacher of the Month series, in collaboration with Berkshire Community College, features distinguished teachers nominated by community members. You can nominate a teacher here.

For more than two decades, Noyes has dedicated her career to nurturing young minds, from teaching kindergarten in North Carolina for 11 years through moving to Massachusetts. She has been working at Williamstown Elementary for the last 11 years.

"I have a background in language and literacy. I love the moment that students realize that they are successful with a skill, in particular with reading," she said.

Noyse infuses her background with other curriculum, including math, science, and social studies, to reach her pupils.
