This week, Mrs. Laurinda Gearing from the Grange in Brunswick #1317 and East Chatham #1066 visited the Berlin Elementary 3rd graders in Mr. Bourquard, Ms. Rontey, and Mrs. Savaria’s classes. Mrs. Gearing was at BES for the annual Grange Dictionary gift presentation.
Each year, the Grange gives each third-grade Mountaineer their very own dictionary. Mrs. Gearing, Brunswick Grange Secretary, also took time to speak with the 3rd-grade students about the Grange, a community-driven organization dedicated to making a positive impact since 1860.
With membership opportunities available to individuals of all ages, the Grange hosts a range of community-focused events, including family game nights, baking contests, and community art projects.
BES Principal Mrs. Cataldo and the third-grade teachers would like to thank Mrs. Gearing and the Grange for this meaningful tradition of gifting dictionaries to our Mountaineers.
