Sticks and Stones:

Artist in Residence Program Targets Bullying

 

Later this month, students at Gilmanton School will use the power of the arts to explore one of the most troubling issues affecting young people today--bullying. Artist-educators Jeff Erwin and Skip Brunette will spend two weeks in residency at the school working with students of all ages to tackle this complex subject. Their program, called Sticks and Stones: Words Do Matter, has been praised throughout the state for its innovation, creativity, and community building. The residency will culminate with a final performance on Thursday, April 10 at 6:30 p.m., which will be open to students, parents, and community members.

 

Bullying has been recognized as one of the most challenging problems facing schools, young people, and families. No longer limited to the school hallway or playground, bullying now occurs on social media, through texting, on the bus, at school events, and in the community. For victims, bullying can result in school absences, falling grades, anxiety, depression, and even suicide. One of the keys to stopping bullying is to create a school community where kids and adults are not afraid to stand up for what is right. 

 

The Sticks and Stones program will include workshops for students and teachers, focused on identifying the causes and effects of bullying, the importance of kindness, and how kids can change from being bystanders to “upstanders” who are not afraid to stand up for peers who are being bullied. Role-playing, visual arts, music, drama, dance, and writing will be used to explore these topics and create solutions to prevent bullying and empower students. According to the program’s website, “Sticks and stones makes a strong case for the idea that KINDNESS and ACCEPTANCE are immensely more powerful and rewarding than the stature one may gain from intentionally hurting, intimidating or isolating others.”

 

During the residency, the artists will spend time with students in each grade, and work in depth with a core group of seventh graders to develop and stage a multimedia performance showing what they have learned. After the evening performance on April 10, there will be a daytime performance for all students and staff on Friday April 11. For more information about this program, please contact art teacher Brynn Potter or music teacher Mary Sawyer at Gilmanton School, (603) 364-5681, or visit Jeff Erwin’s website, http://www.trashcanlidproductions.

 


 

Letter

 

Dear Gilmanton residents,

The  Board of Selectmen, after much deliberation, have instituted a new free room policy for the dump.  All items in the free room are free!  

 

We have, for all you pickers, clarified a few things. You can take items from the free room and reuse, recycle, resell.  Please limit your time per visit to 20 minutes or less. Parking is limited, and we want to allow more opportunities  for first-timers and parking for recyclers.  The standard rules all still apply, do not pile anything in front of the electric panel, no electronics are accepted. Out of town pickers are not allowed. I added the last rule. Thank-you to all the volunteers that help keep the free room neat and tidy.

 

Sincerely,

Don Guarino                    

Gilmanton

 


 

Letter

 

Dear Gilmanton residents,

On behalf of the members of  the  Gilmanton Fire Department  I want to thank you for your overwhelming support at the polls on Tuesday.

 

Our priority remains your safety. I would like to take a moment and share  our mission statement with you. This mission statement is the very back bone of our organization. We stand ready to serve you and yours.

 

The Gilmanton Fire Department was organized in January 3 1990 following the merger of the Gilmanton Corners Fire Department and Gilmanton Iron Works Fire Department. The merger was completed to ensure that the citizens of Gilmanton are provided the very best in emergency service. To that, end the mission of the Gilmanton shall be:

 

We will prevent the impact of Fire in our community. We will limit the extent of death, injury, and property loss from fires that do occur.

 

We will preserve human life from the effects of injury, sudden illness, man-made or natural disasters. We will provide emergency assistance with no regard to race, color, creed or financial status.

 

We will educate the community and provide them the knowledge necessary to reduce the risks associated with fire and emergency medical events, man-made and natural disasters.

 

We will ensure our members are trained according to the latest standards.

 

We will provide a safe work environment and offer opportunities for advancement within our department.

 

We will provide our members with the opportunities to gain new skills that will enhance the service we provide; we will continually strive to be better providers.

 

We will offer a supportive environment for the families of our members.

 

We will be held accountable to the taxpayers of the town of Gilmanton; we will complete our mission in the most cost effective manner possible, while providing the best service we can.

 

We will provide professional, courteous and compassionate care to all that call us into service

 

Revised and adopted April 15 2011

 

Yours in public safety,

Chief Paul J Hempel III
