Number or students: 18

New Hartford is a beautiful village located in the Mohawk Valley of Central New York. We are surrounded by rolling hills and sloping valleys. Although our school is situated on top of a big hill - Higby Road - it isn't quite as tall as Mount Everest! We are about 15 minutes away from Bridgewater - where the Curtin Brothers' farm is located. Our classroom is made up of 18 lively, curious, hardworking children who love to make connections with their learning. Currently, we are in the midst of a unit on "survival." Obviously, this site offers the perfect connection. Thank you, Jim Curtin and crew, for providing us with this wonderful learning opportunity. Best of luck! Mrs. Paul's Fourth Grade Class
