3 Questions for Superintendent Schoonmaker: Sept. 18

North Branford's superintendent raves about new lunch selections, encourages more reading and shares his favorite childhood book.

We're all about the dots this week! In honor of International Dot Day (did you know there's a town-wide Spot the Dot hunt happening?), we're asking our town officials, including Superintendent Scott Schoonmaker, what their favorite childhood book was.

In addition to Spot the Dot, community members can also share their creative works in this gallery.The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds encourages people to "be brave enough" to make their mark. Rec Director Pam Gery has already shared a picture of something she is proud to have created.
