The Town of Barnstead needs YOU, yes YOU!!  We are still in need of volunteers to help with this year’s Old Home Day event.  The Day is fast approaching!  Last year we had to cancel the Barnstead Old Home Day event due to lack of volunteers.  Don’t let that fate happen this year.  Please join our OHD Committee meeting on April 13, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. in the Barnstead Town Hall.  Hope to see you there.  If you have any questions, please contact Peggy Sweeney at 435-6505.

 


 

Local Resident To Present At Adoption Conference


The Adoption Community of New England, Inc. (ACONE) is pleased to announce that Kristen Hales of Barnstead will be presenting at the 38th Annual New England Adoption Conference, Tales of the Journey: Past, Present & Future.  Kristen’s workshop, entitled Traveling to Pick Up Your Child, will be among the more than 90 workshops presented at this year’s conference on Saturday, April 2 at Bellingham High School, Bellingham, MA.  


Kristen is a Ticket and Gate agent for Delta Airlines in Manchester and has been working in the travel industry for more than 20 years.  She has traveled to over 50 countries and is also an adoptive parent.  This is her 12th year presenting at the conference, and she brings a wealth of experience to help parents traveling out of the country to adopt.      


The New England Adoption Conference is the largest annual single day adoption conference in the United States that welcomes everyone touched by adoption. The conference brings together hundreds of adoptive parents, birth parents, prospective adopters, adopted persons, and adoption professionals to learn, share information and support each other. 


The conference attracts attendees from all New England states and even as far away as Minnesota.  “We are thrilled to have the quality of presenters and workshops providing the most current adoption information,” said ACONE Director and conference committee member, Julie Pelletier-Rutkowski.


The conference brochure, workshop descriptions, and registration materials are available on ACONE’s web site at www.AdoptionCommunityofNE.org or by calling ACONE’s office at (508) 366-6812.

 


 

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter so the community of Barnstead will know how I feel about a recent event with my daughter at Barnstead Elementary School.


They were doing trust exercises in gym and my daughter was injured due to some miscommunication. It was a head injury and yes, it could have been more serious than it was, but it was not. I believe the teacher handled the situation properly, and after further discussion with my doctors, they felt the same way.


The teacher was so upset that she followed up with us later that day. I want to commend this teacher for being real and not fake like many are today. She is a tremendous asset to the school.


I have contacted a member of leadership in the school system and they don’t share the same view.


However, my question is, would they look at a child falling off a swing, getting hurt in sports, or even someone falling in the lunchroom the same? Accidents happen and we can get hurt in many ways.


Thanks to all,
Walter Parelius
Barnstead

Elementary School 8th Grade Artists Display At Barnstead Library


The Oscar Foss Memorial Library in Center Barnstead is extremely pleased to sponsor two art shows from our talented 8th grade students at Barnstead Elementary.


Starting April 7th, one-half of the art projects will be on display at the library.  The show will be comprised of paintings, drawings and sculptures which were all developed by the students in class.


There will be an open reception to feature the first group of students on Thursday evening, April 7th from 6-7 p.m.  Snacks and drinks will be offered in the Library Program Room to be followed by a presentation of work from these gifted students.  Plan to join us for the reception, or drop by any time during the months of April and May to view these spectacular pieces.


The second show will feature the second half of the 8th grade students and will have a reception on Thursday, May 5th, again followed by the artists’ presentations.


This show will allow all of the residents in Barnstead, who ordinarily aren’t able to get to the Elementary School, to view some of the special efforts made by the BES students. We look forward to your coming by the Barnstead Library sometime in April and May to check out this wide array of talent!
