The final-ever day of preschool at Fort Meadow Early Childhood Center was held on June 10, followed by an end-of-year family picnic on June 11, and a Parent Teachers Organization “Farewell Fort Meadow” celebration on June 12.
Fort Meadow Principal Jonathan Scagel wrote to families about the events marking the closing of the Fort Meadow building on White Street, which has served as a preschool center since 1988.
At the PTO farewell celebration on June 12, highlighted by balloon twisting by Brie’s Balloons of Granby, songs by Sarah Soller, a former paraprofessional at Fort Meadow who taught music; and refreshments available from Macken’s Specialty Sliders and Holyoke Ice Cream, people’s feelings were understandably mixed about the closing.
