On Friday the Sept. 24, the Woonsocket School will have their annual Blackhawk parade starting at 1:00pm. The theme this year (voted on by the student council) is “Fairy Tales/Story Book”. Businesses who are interested in participating in the parade can sign up when lining up for the parade at 12:30 by PVCC. The football game against the TDAACDC (Tripp-Delmont/Armour/Andes Central/Dakota Christian) Thunderhawks will start at 7:00pm in Forestburg.
I’m also asking students and alumni to be respectful towards our community when celebrating traditions during the week of festivities.
Homecoming is arriving quickly and we hope the community gets involved as much as the school. This is one of the biggest events of the year, so let’s make it memorable for everyone. Go Blackhawks!

Community
Woonsocket Wi-FiThe Woonsocket Community and Events Center has expanded its central role in connecting community residents and visitors. Santel Communications recently installed a Public Wi-Fi system that provides free Wi-Fi.
According to Woonsocket Schools Superintendent, Dr. Rod Weber, “The school’s remote and eLearning platforms require the student’s reliable access to the Internet. It is important for the school to work with families and community to provide connectivity they need to continue learning through varied pandemic conditions and restrictions. Santel approached the school on ways to help and within a short amount of time, free public Wi-Fi was implemented.”
The community center now has Wi-Fi coverage inside and outside the building. The students and public are invited to use and access Internet for their needs. General Manager Ryan Thompson of Santel states, “Our enhanced Wi-Fi systems allow expanded coverage in an area commonly used by the community for many different events and gatherings. If more stringent social distancing is required, we felt it was important to offer students and residents outdoor ‘drive up’ Internet as well. Drive up, park, connect. Easy, safe and convenient.”
Internet-connected device users should select the community center Wi-Fi access point on their device and with no password required the system allows up to a 2-hour session of free Wi-Fi internet.
