LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICY

Letters to the Editor Policy
 

  • The word-count limit for letters is 350, including signatures (with exceptions at the discretion of the editor).
  • Letters may be edited for length, style, and clarity.
  • Email letters to editor@harvardpress.net with “Letter to the Editor” in the subject line, or send by regular mail to Editor, The Harvard Press, P.O. Box 284, Harvard, MA 01451. Deadline is 5 p.m. Tuesday to be included in that Friday's edition.
  • Letters should include your name, address, and phone number. Phone numbers and house numbers will not be printed; they are used only for verification.
  • We will not print anonymous letters, form letters, blanket-mail letters, or letters that we consider libelous.
  • We will not print more than one letter from the same person in any given week.
  • Letters must be signed by individuals; we do not accept group names as signatures. Up to four people may sign a letter on behalf of a group; all must provide addresses and phone numbers.
  • During contests for public office, we will not publish endorsement letters the Friday before an election. Based on space availability, we may limit the number of endorsement letters in a given week, but will strive to print a balanced representation of letters received. We will not publish negative letters about any candidate.
  • All letters may be read online by Harvard Press subscribers who are logged-on registered users of the website.

Girl Scout troops thank contributors to Mitten Tree

by Jennifer Wilkins and Jessica Stone  ·   Friday, December 19, 2025

The Harvard Girl Scouts would like to thank everyone who contributed items to our Mitten Tree, which stood tall at the Children’s Room in the Harvard Public Library between Nov. 17 and Dec. 13. This annual tradition collects mittens, gloves, scarves, and hats and donates them to those in need in our surrounding towns. WHEAT Community Connections in Clinton welcomed three large bags filled with new and handmade items earlier this week; these items will be distributed to clients over the next few weeks. Thank you for your generosity!

Jennifer Wilkins, troop leader 11395
Jessica Stone, troop leader 64747 and Harvard Girl Scout coordinator
