N.C. Watson One Room School Report
Spring is almost here! Plans for the N.C. Watson Schoolhouse are in the works. Sam Kovacs, from Boy Scout Troop 349, will be beginning work on his Eagle Scout Project at the school as soon as the snow and frost have left the ground. His focus is tending to the handicap ramp at the rear of the building as well as the front steps. Power washing, railing repairs and staining and painting where needed are one part of the project. The second part involves creating a serpentine path from the opening at the back fence down to the ramp at the back of the school. This will be wheelchair accessible. The remains of an old stone wall will be cleared up and made suitable for planting some spring bulbs to enjoy next spring.
Girl Scout, Lilly Gaudiano, has plans to continue with the raised beds created last growing season with hopes of increasing the number of beds and the amount of harvest. As last year, she will be donating the fruits and vegetables of her labor to the Buxton Food Pantry.
Instead of being open two Saturdays a month, the school house will be open the second Saturday of each month from 3 P.M. – 6 P.M. This will coincide with some of the Buxton Center Church’s Bean Suppers. Supper goers can come over and visit us at the School house.
Something new for us this year is a fundraiser hosted by the Snell Family Farm. The Snell family wants to help support the Buxton Hollis Historical Society and, in turn, N.C. Watson School. This will be an evening event at the Snell Farm on Sunday, August 2nd from 6 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. Please stay tuned for further details.
If you have any questions on how you can help support the N.C. Watson School or if you have ideas you would like to see happen at the School, please contact Vicki Walker at 207-929-3662 or [email protected].
