During the 2010-2011 school year the staff and students at Hussey School were busy!  Our Team Hussey, parent teacher organization, provided our school community with many opportunities to play and learn together.  We were an active group, running in the Paws and Claws 5K in October, swimming and playing together at the Kennebec Valley YMCA in January, playing games and reading together in March and learning about science from our friends at the Chewonki foundation throughout the spring.
