In need of a sweet treat? Come join the National Honor Society at Prospect Mountain High School on October 27th from 6-7:30pm to collect some delicious Halloween candy.  All Alton and Barnstead kids are welcome to come dressed up in their Halloween costume to trick or treat from our different classrooms! There will be a variety of PMHS clubs that will be selling goodies, playing games, and face painting.  Along with all this fun, there will be a pumpkin carving contest; the winners receive a special Halloween prize! The judging will take place at 7:00 pm, so bring your pumpkin anytime before then. The pumpkins will be judged on creativity and there will be a winner for K-4 and 5-8.

Keeping The Cupboard Full In Barnstead

 

Most kids are usually hungry.  And as parents we do what we can to keep good choices in our cupboards.  However there are times when we are short on money to provide the way we would want for our children. 

 

We are fortunate to have a community here in Barnstead that helps each other.  That’s good and yet it is hard to ask for assistance.  Did you know help is available that is anonymous and which protects your privacy?

 

If your kids are at school, pick up a form for the National School Lunch Program.  They are in the public file folders at the entrance to the school.  If you think you are eligible, mail it in.  The food service director is the only person who will review your application.  Your child will have the identical process for getting lunch as other children, regardless of the payment source. 

 

Our school (BES & PMHS) guidance counselors can also help your children get weekend food through the new “End 68 Hours of Hunger” program.  Please speak with one of them.  They will also protect your privacy and arrange for weekend food.  (BES Meredith Jacques 269-5161 x217 and Sara Newell 269-5161 x311 and PMHS Laurie Maheu 875—3800 x3160) The Electronic Benefit Transfer program or EBT card (food stamps) is simple to request and determine eligibility online - again very private.  Shopping with this card is transparent to all except the cashier.  There are computers at the Barnstead library that parents can use to apply for the card (and the librarians are happy to assist with the process.) Barnstead’s Food Panty is a great resource and is located within the Barnstead Thrift Shop where everyone shops.  The food pantry gives a generous amount of food for a 2 week period and there are helpers to carry the boxes out to your car, so you don’t have to be obvious about the food.  Our Overseer of Public Welfare, Elaine Swinford (235-1895) is also available to help with other kinds of assistance.

 

There are periodic breakfasts and dinners being offered by churches in town.  For those who would like to donate food, you may donate for the food pantry at the thrift shop next to Bosco Bell.  If you’d like to donate to the End 68 Hours of Hunger program, there is a collection box at the entrance of Dollar General and also one inside the BES entrance.
