Local Middle Level Students Receive Prestigious Awards


Brid Fillion and Mitchel Segalini Scholar Leader Students at Gilmanton School in Gilmanton, NH, were recently honored at the 10th Annual Scholar Leader Awards Banquet on June 4, 2009, at the Center of New Hampshire in Manchester, NH. The students were presented with an award. The criteria included demonstrating academic initiative and scholarship, providing service to classmates and school, exemplifying positive attitudes and demonstrating leadership in the classroom and school activities.


Nearly 380 students, educators, and parents attended this banquet to celebrate the achievements of the middle level students who are representative of the many fine young adolescents in all middle level schools in the State of New Hampshire. Also in attendance were Mary Heath, NH Deputy Commissioner of Education; John Lyons, Esq., State Board of Education; and Dr. Jay Buckey, a former astronaut and current professor of medicine at Dartmouth Medical School. Dr. Buckey was the evening’s keynote speaker. Seventy-seven 7th and 8th grade students from 39 schools were honored at the Tenth Annual Middle Level Scholar Leader Awards Banquet.


The event was organized by the New Hampshire Association for Middle Level Education (NHAMLE) and the New England League of Middle Schools (NELMS) with supporting sponsorship from Lifetouch National School Studios.


Dr. Robert Spear, Executive Director of NELMS, praised the students for the willingness to help others and for choosing excellence in their personal and school lives. He acknowledged the many contributions of the parents for creating environments that promote good citizenship and scholarship. Spear noted that “when students, parents, and schools work together, powerful learning takes place.”

State of The Loon - The Natural History,  Challenges, and Successes of Loons in New Hampshire”

Saturday, July 11, 4:30 p.m, Shellcamp Club House, Gilmanton, NH


Have you ever wondered why a loon’s eyes are red? Why loon chicks ride on their parents’ backs? What loons are saying with those eerie calls in the night? Join biologist Harry Vogel as he talks about this unique symbol of New Hampshire’s wild lakes and its special place in the hearts of New Hampshire residents. Harry will talk about loons, where loons fit in with other birds (you might be surprised!), challenges facing loons, and the Loon Preservation Committee’s work to safeguard New Hampshire’s threatened loon population.


Harry Vogel is the director of the Loon Preservation Committee in New Hampshire. The mission of the LPC is to restore and maintain a healthy population of loons throughout New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the natural world. LPC’s success in protecting New Hampshire’s loon population has been attributed in large part to the monitoring, research, management and educational activities of LPC staff, members, and volunteers.


Refreshments will be served
