Ivy Green Rebekah Lodge #36 would like to thank the community for
their support with our recent outreach project that helps the
Concord Hospital
Infant Layette Program. We were able to donate over 100 onesies,
many items of clothing, blankets, quilts, toiletries and money to
this wonderful project. We enjoyed a wonderful tea. The gifts were
opened by Logan Ann Whiteley and Molly Fellows. Thank you girls for
your help. We also wish to thank the Epsom Public Library for the
use of their community room and our outreach coordinator, Jennifer
Army.
Epsom Public Library
The Epsom Public Library will show the film, 42, the story of Jackie
Robinson, on Monday, July 29 at 7:00 p.m. as part of the Summer
Reading Program for Adults.
Robinson broke the color barrier when he became the first black man
to join the major leagues of baseball in 1947. Called up from the
minor leagues by the Brooklyn Dodgers, he faced and had to overcome
incredible prejudice, jeering, and taunting, even at times from his
own team mates. According to reviewer Chris Ball of The Plain
Dealer, “this inspiring biopic unsparingly depicts the enormous
racial hostility greeting this future Hall of Famer in 1947.”
Robinson was admitted to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962, and on
June 4, 1972, the Dodgers retired his uniform number 42.
Soft drinks and popcorn will be served at the movie.

Epsom Central School Staff and Faculty
Mrs. Heather Kennedy, Spanish & Mathematics Teacher
As a visitor enters Heather’s classroom late in the afternoon, one
is likely to find a few middle school kids chatting amiably with
her. She teaches Spanish to students in Grades 5 through 8, and Math
to Grades 6 and 8.
Heather graduated from UNH with a degree in Hospitality Management,
with a minor in Spanish. She later became highly qualified in both
Spanish and Math. Recruited out of college by Hyatt Hotels, she
worked as a restaurant manager in Texas for several years. She is
entering her ninth year at ECS. Heather works in the Homework Club
and is co-leader for the Unified Arts Team.
Heather enjoys working with her students and loves Math and Spanish.
She feels that children in Grades 6-8 are at the ideal age for
teachers to build relationships with and be a positive influence to
them. She also liked teaching younger kids and watching them grow
each year. She enjoys working at ECS because it’s a small school and
she enjoys close relationships with both students and staff. She
says, “We’re like a family in that we don’t always get along but
we’ll always love one another.” She would like parents to know that,
“The teachers are on their side in the effort to help, support, and
educate the kids, to make them self-sufficient and be, hopefully,
happy.”
Heather married her husband, Ryan, last summer. They live in
Barrington with their cat, Munchkin. She enjoys reading, watching
the Red Sox, and traveling, particularly to Disney World.
