Hindley School

Parents of Hindley students have set up a weekly emailed newsletter dubbed "The WIRE", which describes upcoming events.

[1] Hindley has a school orchestra, band and chorus which together give a holiday concert each December.

The "chests" are shoe boxes filled with hats, gloves, small toiletries, crafts, books and the like for teenagers and pre-teens.

Nearby, at the corner of Noroton Avenue and the Boston Post Road, a skirmish during the American Revolution between local patriots and raiding Tories based on Long Island resulted in the deaths of several patriots, who were ambushed at the stone walls which still exist at the corner.

An unexpected surge in the town's school population persuaded the Board of Education to keep the old building, then called "Hindley Annex", which remained for years before it was eventually torn down.
