Chichester Central School News


The summer weeks have gone by quickly and the staff is looking forward to welcoming back all of the students for the 2009-2010 school year. Summer school is over, the rooms are prepared, supplies are in, new students are registering, staff members have taken part in the Teacher Leadership Symposium in reading and math, and a whole host of other activities have taken place over the course of the summer break. All students should have received a “welcome back” letter from their homeroom teacher which listed the necessary supplies for the start of the year.


August 26 is the first day of school! Parents who are dropping off are asked to do so as close to 8:15 as possible, although there will be a supervised area in the building between 8:00 and 8:15 for anyone arriving at that time. Please make sure to check the bus routes as there have been some minor changes to routes 1 and 4. The lunch price for this year will be $2.00; $3.00 for adults wishing to enjoy a fine meal in the middle of the day.


Incoming kindergartners are invited to ride the bus to school on Monday, August 24. The bus will leave the Town Hall at 9:00 (AM class) and 10:00 (PM class) and students with a parent will be greeted at the school. After a 45-minute stay to get acquainted, the bus will return to the Town Offices. All incoming first grade students may visit their classroom from 10-10:45 on Tuesday, the 25th. The PTO will be hosting the Back to School Barbecue on Wednesday, September 9 at 5:00. After everyone is well fed, families are encouraged to meet the teachers, attend an information session on the new technology tool called sakai, and tour the school as part of the annual Open House.

 

We look forward to welcoming everyone back; enjoy what remains of the summer!

Road Names

By Walter Sanborn

The Lane Road ends at the junction of the Short Falls Road. The picture of the Lane shows the Ebenezer Lane Farm and barn in the upper right. The Jeremiah Bickford Farm is in the upper left and the sawmill is the long building in the center to the left of the dirt road. The Lane schoolhouse is at right center of the center behind the telephone pole. The dirt road showing is the Short Falls Road.


Traveling up Horse Corner Road the next road beyond the Towle Road is the Lane Road. Several hundred yards beyond the Towle Road is the Knowlton Cemetery. On the left and beyond the Cemetery on the left is the beginning of the Lane Road. This road runs east for about one half mile. At a sharp corner at the junction of the Smith Sanborn Road, the Lane Road turns right and runs South to its end at the junction of the Short Falls Road, which runs west to east connecting Horse Corner Road with Route 28 in Epsom, eventually ending at the four corners in Short Falls.


At the junction of Lane Road and Short Falls Road is what is called the Lane District from which the road acquired its name. The Lane District had several homes built by the Lane Family including a sawmill and the Lane Schoolhouse. The large Lane Farm recently burned in 1994.


The Short Falls Road was used by people in the Horse Corner Section of Chichester to get to the old grist mill in Short Falls and also use the Short Falls Depot on the Suncook Valley Railroad to ship milk to Manchester.


Although the Lane Road ends at the Short Falls Road it continues further ending at the Pembroke Town Line, but is called the Hutchinson Road because it ends at the old Asa Hutchinson Farm at the town line. Here it becomes the Cross Country Road in Pembroke.


Below or East of the Lane Road off to the right of the Short Falls Road is the Blackman Road which accesses several homes belonging to the Blackman Family.

 

The history of the Blackman Road, Hutchinson Road, Short Falls Road, and the Lane Road and history of the Lane District have been given in greater detail in previous articles published in the book Chichester Articles available at the Chichester Historical Society.
