Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are writing to let you know that Pierce Elementary School recently completed testing for lead in drinking water. This is part of an ongoing effort related to New Hampshire state law RSA 485:17-a, which requires schools and childcare facilities to test for lead in drinking water and to act when lead is found at levels at or above 5 parts per billion (ppb). We continue to work with the New Hampshire state law to take appropriate action as necessary. The attached letter details the most recent report of water levels found at Pierce School.

We also want to share that the 5 faucets found to be above 5 ppb with lead levels were not used for drinking water, and are labeled as such. Our water drinking fountains were in compliance with state levels of drinking water on lead levels. Please click here to read the letter and report for more details.

All sample results and additional resources from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) can be viewed at gettheleadoutnh.org.

Students paraded through Bennington to display their costumes and Halloween spirit on Thursday, October 31st. Staff dressed up as Crayola crayons in spirit as well!
