At 11:45 a.m. on Nov. 20, church bells rang in Ring Out Thanks – a gesture of appreciation from the Henniker Congregational Church to the staff and students at HCS for their hard work during these trying times. The ringing involved a Rick Willgoose climbing up four stories (by ladder and scaffold) into the tower to manually ring the bell. This kindness from our neighbors was greatly appreciated by everyone at the Henniker Community School.
